Grimes: You? Went into outer space? You?

By comparison O'Dea (a different position I know) who hardly kicked a ball last season was included.

Im in Manchester and as much as I love to travel to watch Celtic and Ireland and any other footie I can - convincing the mrs that Im off to Dublin to watch Dundee Utd play a few pre-season friendlies might just be the very excuse she needs to play Mrs Bobbit next time we do role play:D

Redknapp is a big fan of Wilson, but he needs to push his way into the first team this season. His switch to the centre-back could be useful for Ireland, should he progress this season.

Maybe Trap should call him up to the senior squad to wind up the ifa & Howard Wells :rolleyes: Or maybe Nigel Worthington will try calling him, again:eek:

Darren Randolf gone on loan to Hereford on season long loan. They also signed a couple of other Irish players. Breen from Man City and a n other I can't recall. Who is manager of Hereford?

Graham Turner since the year dot.

Kevin Maher, relased from Southend has signed a 1 year deal with Oldham...

Roy Keane has signed Nicky Colgan.

His international career mightn't be over just yet;) It is interesting that Keane would bring him in, a future goalkeeping coach at the club, and maybe not in the too distant future:confused:

Makes sense , they didnt have an Irish goalie till now

Finally confirmed by the official Sunderland site.
