Quinn attracting admiring glances from Premier League and Championship teams.
To have crunch talks with Bruce about his future.

Leicester and Derby linked with bids.
Nice to have clubs interested in him, Leicester are Premiership and Derby are a
Championship side on the up. He is only 28.

Quinn may have played his way into Bruce's plans with his match turning performance against QPR.
Yes he provide a good corner which was headed in he also played a lovely ball to put Ince through for a good scoring chance.
Most seem to be going for Chester on the grounds he scored but lots of praise for Quinn
"Quinn - Transformed our midfield offensively when he came on. Has to stay."
It would be very harsh for Bruce to leave him out next match, but don't think he would be that daft.

"Breaking up the play in the centre of the pitch, Quinn frustrated the Potters and hurried the likes of Glenn Whelan and Steven N'Zonzi into making mistakes."
TOWK, you will love this article and will make you love Stephen Quinn even more!

However, even he approves of English players playing for us.

I don't love Stephen Quinn. I wouldn't have had him in the team for the Georgia game. And nobody loves a stick to beat Trapattoni with more than me but Quinn wasn't playing at a high enough level to play under him. Why would I love that article? It's somber.
"It's part of football". It's not exactly a glowing endorsement is it? It's a diplomatic thing to say. If I was a professional footballer I wouldn't be saying half of what I say on this forum because footballers are taught to speak in platitudes.
There are plenty of people in the game who are on both sides of the fence.
And where in that article did Quinn apologise to Grealish for calling him a "fake paddy"? He denied it.
Grealish should really start learning to exercise his brain to mouth filter. There is no logic in bringing that up - and fanning the fire - whether it happened or not.
That's what you get for being friendly gastric.
The fourth paragraph was directed towards Dion Fanning, not gastric.Quote:

Because I love playing for my country, it is the most important thing to me. People pull out of squads or whatever, but this is the pinnacle of your career so yes, it is emotional now. I am just glad we got the win and I just want to keep performing."
Before hearing the team, he had also been present for a team meeting with O'Neill delivering the address he had waited nearly 10 months to give.
"It was a powerful meeting to be honest with you. It was quiet, he is softly spoken, but when he talks you listen, because you need to, because he is softly spoken. The hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Him and Roy have been waiting for this for nine months. We had meetings every day about Georgia. He is a really intelligent manager, really, really intelligent, and to have Roy Keane in there as well, they have so much experience. His talk before we got on the coach was inspiring and I think it inspired everybody. That is why we have a really tight squad unit here now after nine months."
Jeez, imagine how cr@p that'd have played without the rallying call.
Seriously, though, that's good to hear. I want to know we have a tight group of hungry players desperate to win every game, and I want to hear that O'Neill legendary motivation skills are in action.

unlucky they had a few chances in the second half.
Quinn's goal.

Nope not of those work.
I could re upload it to youtube but I fear I might get done for copyright.
Anyhow, I used to be able to capture whatever was displayed on the screen using
VLC player, however after the last upgrade that no longer works, which really p*ssed
me off. Had I know I would not have done the upgrade.
I have tried older versions but none of them seem to work either. :(
Anyway nice header, well take goal, however they are big danger of relegation.
Cool story bro.

Quinn hoping for PL move.
I think he's good enough. I also think he should be very close to our starting XI. We complain about a lack of dynamism in midfield and players not showing for the ball. Quinn does a lot of what we need.
He's probably not that far off, depending on circumstances. He's very willing and he's probably the most out-and-out athletic midfielder we've had since Keith Andrews, but he wouldn't be as good on the ball as some of the others options kicking around.Quote:

Wouldn't have said he's an out and out athlete. I think he's more technically skilled than most of our midfielders but not athletic in the Andrews/Meyler/Hendrick sense.Quote:

Reports that one Premier League club and several Championship clubs are interested in him. Consensus is that he would only be guaranteed regular football in the Championship. He's 29 and this is potentially his last big contract so you can't begrudge him if he takes an offer from a Championship team. Reading have a good manager and will always be in or around the playoffs so it wouldn't be the worst move. Good luck to him. I hope he gets a move to a Premier League team and silences the doubters who don't think he can be anything but a squad player. It seems that Hull fans think he should only be a squad player at PL level yet whenever he does start they rave about his performances more often than not. Livermore, Huddlestone and Ramirez have all driven Hull fans mad with their inconsistency but Quinny always has a good attitude and is at least as consistent if not as naturally talented.
Depends how you define it, but he's quicker and covers more ground and presses harder, with more intensity, than Meyler/Hendrick imo.Quote:

Quinn still at Hull two days later but fears are growing that he will not stay.

Linked with Cardiff. Reading remain interested. Two year deal on the table at Hull.
http://www.getreading.co.uk/sport/fo...ing-fc-9548384
Having a medical at Reading according to this. Deal could be announced today according to this.
I was hoping he could get a Premier club but I suppose at this stage of his career getting a promotion-seeking team is the best he can hope for.
I don't think an EPL move would necessarily make him a better player. He is what he is and on my opinion should be very close to starting for us. I think he brings more presence and is more accretive than McCarthy and Hendrick.
feckin hell Stutts. Its far too early in the week for those sorts of words.Quote:
Accretive: The process of accretion, which is the growth or increase by gradual addition, in finance and general nomenclature. An acquisition is considered accretive if it adds to earnings per share.

It's not just a financial term. I'm surprised the passage above defines it that way.
I just thought you misspelled 'creative'.
He brings something positive to the team but it's not enough for our needs.
Wherever he ends up going, we might need his accretion in the forthcoming games so hopefully he's given a responsible first team role to keep him in top shape.
signed a three year deal at Reading: http://www.readingfc.co.uk/news/arti...n-2512748.aspx
I agree with the first bit, he's had his bit of top level football now which will stand to him, so I suppose the most important thing is regular football. I don't think he should be in direct competition with Hendrick for us really and I wouldn't consider him for the role Hendrick played against Scotland. I think McCarthy is a far superior footballer than Quinn, if I was dropping somebody for him it would be Whelan who is, am, what's the opposite of accretive? :p Not entirely serious but I actually like that proposition, legs and energy over discipline and positional awareness, not that McCarthy falters in the latter. It could be a decent partnership.Quote:

McCarthy has been disappointing in some aspects, no point in saying otherwise, but I still think he'd be every bit a big a loss to the starting XI as Whelan would be. He's probably a victim of our own expectation levels to some degree also, whereas it seems to me like Whelan is benefiting from the exact opposite in recent times, certainly on here.
McCarthy's potential and performances for Everton makes him undroppable for me, certainly in the short-term. His worst performances for us aren't really much different to what Whelan has been offering up for seven years or so. Whelan has peaked while there's still a strong hope that McCarthy will burst into life and become exactly what we need.
