Agree though looks comfortable on the ball and at 6' 3" would add some welcome height to our defence.
he's 27!! didnt know that, thought he was a lot younger for some reason. yea i know what you mean by the positional sense, defensively he wasnt magnificent but he seemed to be efficient as in he did enough. but going forward he really stood out for qpr.Quote:

A blind man can see that McManus (who is an average player anyway) in particular is having an awful start to the season but Strachan will not drop him as he is the captain. Anyway, Loovens is also on the scene now so I think the time has come for O'Dea to put in a transfer request and get away from Celtic Park.
Loovens is back up for Caldwell. Strachan is big on the left sided, right sided centre half thing.Quote:

John Kennedy is out on loan at Norwich now, and Roeder is pressing for him to be included in the Scotland squad. Wouldn't be the worst thing for O'Dea to do the same

And so it begins...

how do you mimic a donkey?
Dunno, but I got heartily sick of his impression of a flying fish.Quote:

good question Diarmo - not sure myself. I was also very impressed with his performance against Serbia (didnt see the Colombian game).
Played CB last night against Arsenal. Didn't see the game but the 5 Live commentators raved about his performance alongside McAuley. Could yet be an option if he gets a run of games and Ipswich start going places.
He won a lot of headers last night. Still worth a look at LB. I don't recall him ever having a shocker for us.
It seems he's been playing at CB for Ipswich for quite a while now, with O'Dea often playing left back. I haven't seen much of him, but from the Ipswich v Norwich game a few months back, he did very little to inspire confidence, even though he scored.Quote:
