Lee Trundle

Trundle is w**k. He's struggled in the Championship this season and won't have a prayer in the Premiership. I would never be of the opinion that just because a player plays in the Premiership he should be looked at in an International squad. There are plenty of terrible players in the Premiership - Ian Harte, Kevin Kilbane and John O'****e immediately spring to mind.

If you are playing well in the Premiership then I think you should be looked at but believe me we won't face this dilemma with Trundle.

League 1 quality written all over him. Fat waster.

John O'Shea and Kevin Kilbane are not terrible players :rolleyes:

Ha ha. Good one you joker you.

I think that Trundle can do things that other players can only dream about but he needs to be given time and space to do that. Against top teams he would not get that chance so I doubt that he would be any where near the level that is required.

Trundle is excellent on the ball and is a skillful player but quite simply he's not up to the standard.

He chips in with a spectacular effort every once in a while but he's totally unnoticeable in alot of games he has played. The fact he's started circa 21 games and scored 5 goals at championship level is not great. His workrate is also highly questionable.

Yes alot of players of questionable calibre have been called up but unfortunately Trundle is 32 and not 22. He should have been given a go in a B International. I dont think there's any benefit in calling the lad up now at his age.

If Bristol get promoted I'd expect Trundle to feature off the bench as an impact sub or he could even be sold to another championship side.

Anger management for you.

There's always a post on here to make ya chuckle; and another beauty from youngirish, calling Kilbane useless. Do you know anything about football? He may not be the most technically gifted, and I have stated before that him having nearly 90 caps tell's us where we are. Your comments however do not stand up to reasoning. He's performed at a good level for many many years and has been a terrific servant for us, in a time when we are finding to our detriment, that others are unwilling to serve their country. Give him the respect he deserves.

Aside from that Clint and Doyle at the very least are far, far superior players. And I'd bet my house on not only Doyle getting a move but Bristol City being comfortably relegated if they make it.

Hes probably the total opposite of Kevin Kilbane really. Kilbane is a total work horse that would run through walls for his team but doesnt have huge technical ability, Trundle strolls around for 90 minutes popping up every now and then with good skill, he has got excellent talent but he could have done with even half of Kilbane attitide in his career

agree the worst possible comparison for trundle is kilbane.

If Bristol City get into the Premiership then lets see how Trundle gets on. I like the fact that Trap has stated he wil be watching how players do in the first few Premiership games of 08/09. If they impress they hewill call them up. Maybe Trundle will find another gear.

Trundle = NO

He's a trier but a poor player livehead. I respect him for giving his all for Ireland but that doesn't make him a good player. The fact he has 90 odd caps says more about the state of Irish football in the last 6 years or so than anything positive about his ability.

At least you didn't disagree with me regarding John O'Shea or Ian Harte. If you did so I'd have had a chuckle myself.

Trundle is pants anyway. Big fat pants.

In fairness you were asking for it.

the man has more passion to play for ireland than alot of the players in the current set up. what is the harm in giving him a shot in a friendly game. i really hope he makes it because he has exceptional skill, even tho he can be a lazy b****x at times! he was a legend for swansea and his performance in the FA trophy final was superb. check this out

zidane would be proud of some of this play! it can be argued that all of his decent performances were against league 1, championship teams - well ireland play some pretty lowly teams at times so why not have some1 like trundle available to weave a bit of magic against them! like seriously, would it be much of a loss if trundle took say alex bruce's place in the squad??!

Some of these posts are making me wonder is it worth keeping up with the Ireland forum at all.

Insulting someone is not fair game in any language.

Criticising thier performances is perfectly acceptable.

Evaluating thier abilities is perfectly accpetable.
