Barry Maguire. PLayed in the last Ireland v HOlland u18 game that was played in Richmond Park
Orebro are a tiny club that just got promoted. They'll be heading back down to the superetten again this season. They would be on a par with EL division one IMO.Quote:

Depends on how you define tiny but Örebro are not tiny club by Swedish or Irish standards. Just look at their stadium. And considering that only one team will be relegated this year, I'd reckon Trelleborg or Brommapojkarna are favourites for relegation.Quote:

I'd still be confident of any EL premier side team beating them.Quote:

Given our derth of options at left back perhaps it is time for him to come back into consideration. He is playing regularly for Union Berlin in the 2. Bundesliga (German version of the Championship), and has just got a new 3 year contract according to the herald...

Everything else i can find on him is in German (naturally enough), but I doubt he got a new contract for playing badly.
I'm not against giving him a chance, but not at the expense of Stephen Ward who I feel deserves a chance to make that his spot for the next campaign or two.
Now if they're both brought into the squad, and Kohlmann performs better, great, but if only one of them is going to be selected, I'd rather it be Stephen Ward.
I only knew about this boy from Championship/Football Manager back in the day.
I haven't heard anything about him in real life, nor have I seen him play. I'm in agreement with irishfan though. We have better options currently, playing in a better league.
Fair play to the kid. He was with Dortmund for years without ever getting a real go of first team football, despite being a constant inclusion in our underage squads. Nice to see him do well, and tbf, if he starts getting a run in die bundesliga, then he'd be well worth a call up.

Is Kohlman not a centre half though??Quote:

They had a good start this year but have started to fade. It's a nice story that Patrick's getting game time, but there's no way he's good enough to get near the squad.
Joe Lapira is tearing it up in Norway too. I think trap should call these two players up against Brazil.Quote:

hes left back i should know he captained my union berlin team in fm
There's an interview with him up on Extratime:
http://www.extratime.ie/newsdesk/articles/4105/
From the piece:
How realistic would this be considering Union Berlin are playing in the second tier of German football now and bearing in mind that Kohlmann is left-footed? Admittedly, I haven't a notion what the standard of football in the 2nd Bundesliga is like.Quote:
With his career on an upward curve with a team in the hunt for even more success, Kohlmann has not cast aside his dreams of returning to the Republic of Ireland set-up.
"It would be a big dream for me. To play for Ireland is still the dream."
Anyone know the story with Maguire these days?Quote:

Maybe I'm generalizing, but you'd assume playing in the German league that he'd have a decent tactical awareness and be technically proficient.
It's hard to imagine him being a worse option than Killer. He's 27 which means a lot of managers would write him off, but Trap has shown with the likes of Lawrence and Green that he's willing to give more mature players a shot if he feels they can bring something to the table.
If there's any position a player could sneak in, it's left-full, as Killer is not a left-full and is past his best before date, while Cunningham looks like he's got potential but may be a little raw. Kohlmann could offer a sort of stop-gap for a campaign if he was given the call and deemed capable.
Lads, I can't believe this guy is being suggested again. He's playing at a sh!te level. It would be like picking someone from league 1 in England. Seriously Ian Harte or Mark Kennedy would be even better options if you want someone to fill in for a year or two before we find someone else. Lots of other better options too ; like Kilbane :P
