Consistent scorer once he got going. He's already scored at international level now, so I'm going to take him as a 19 year old, and we have 20 years of a decent forward.
the system we played did not suit john but his commitment could not be faulted.Quote:

Denis Irwin is a good choice - we have Finnan or Carr as right backs but Ian Harte or Kevin Kilbane are still are top two left-backs...enough said.
John Sheridan is a great choice - we don't have anyone of his calibre to deliver those great passes from midfield. Andy Reid is the closest thing but his weight and fitness issues means that we can't rely on him to be consistent for us.
But we play McShane:eek:Quote:

I'd happily take McGrath with 1 good knee, considering how good Babb looked when he played beside him he'd make McShane look like a BaresiQuote:

Niall Quinn or Dennis Irwin
We are crying out for a player like Roy Keane at the moment. A player with his attitude and engine in midfield is badly badly needed in this Irish. Id have loved to see Andy Reid beside Keane.
tony grealish always played well for ireland
id pick Lee Power
Roy Keane, without doubt.
So if we're adopting the premise of suspending disbelief and the laws of time dimension to while away the time before the qualifiers:
Roy Keane (circa 2000) - would instantaneously combat our midfield quandry, particularly for the upcoming away qualifiers.
i would agree but did he actually even play for Ireland?!Quote:

I assume that's a **** take?!Quote:
