He isn't good enough for Italy lads
Brady has signed for Bournemouth until the end of the season, with an option to extend if things go well.
This could be a good move, Bournemouth play football in a way that I would imagine would suit Brady better than the style at Burnley. Hopefully he can build and keep fitness and have a run of games now.

He looks to have lost some weight from those photos.
Bournemouth play Stoke tomorrow night, wonder if he'll be involved?
Side note - is this good or bad for Kilkenny?
Brady is a crap 10Quote:

Kilkenny plays as a defensive/ holding midfielder. Presumably Brady is signed as a replacement for Brooks. But on Kilkenny, this sounds promising

Gavin Kilkenny - 9
A Gavin Kilkenny fan-club (est 2021) has been set up and you're invited. The modern day number 6, conditioning the game's tempo through always being a passing option and recycling the ball at such speed and intensity that Bristol City's number midfield veteran, both more than ten years older, could not cope.
Given it was his first game back in nearly two months, it was staggering to see the influence he yielded on the match, particularly in the first half.
I think Cardiff and Boro were the last two clubs he was linked with, as well as the Turkish side. Cardiff are 20th. Boro are 12th. He's ended up at the top team in the division. Good move for Brady and Ireland. Kenny will be delighted.
Kinda bad for Kilkenny imo. I know Jamal Lowe started on the RW this past weekend but Ryan Christie had started on the RW for a few games since arriving but he'll be staying as the more advanced midfielder so Pearson will probably drop to the bench and be covering for Billing and Lerma.Quote:

Haven’t the faintest idea why I typed Wigan. I watched the game. Hopefully he can start to get more regular minutes.
Came off the bench today as a wide right midfielder with Bournemouth chasing a 1-0 deficit. He played a very nice penetrating ball into the box that led to an opportunity. I think his quality at Championship level still stands out. Just a question of his athleticism/fitness/durability at this point. Would be great if he could break into starting lineup at Bournemouth.
Brady has been in full training during the past few weeks and came through a game for Bournemouth's reserves on Tuesday. He has made just 4 appearances (130 minutes) for the first team since he joined on a free transfer last October. Scott Parker recognises Brady's ability and is reportedly considering him back into the first team squad. (Daily Echo, Bournemouth, 7 April).
Was just watching his goal against Italy on Youtube and was wondering what happened to him.
a terrible and cruel knee injury.Quote:

Calf injury.Quote:

Would be an unexpected bonus if Brady could find some form and fitness and play in the PL with Bournemouth. Still has something to offer given the paucity of our midfield options.Quote:

There would probably be plenty of interest on a pay as you play deal. He'd be a cheap option on that kind of contract!
Yeah if Bournemouth brought him in I'd say someone like Boro would look at him as an experienced squad player. Don't think you could bank on him staying fit for long enough to bring him in as a starter.
Now at Preston. 12-month contract.
https://m.independent.ie/sport/socce...-41812945.html
If he can stay fit and play, then he's well worth a place in the squad. Would rather have a fit Brady than the likes of Brown or even Hendrick. Sincerely hope he kicks on from here and has a couple of decent seasons after such a nightmare time with injuries.
Back doing what we want him to do - sending in a cross to set up a goal for Preston: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/62445235
It really was a world class cross. Great to see and long may it continue.
Brady was excellent last night and played a full 96mins. Linked up well with Parrott and picked out some good passes. Looks like a new man this season and best he has ever looked fitness wise in years. Takes that LWB spot I feel if he's fit next month.
Great to hear. Is he playing as a left wingback for Preston as well?
Yeah he's started the season at LWB for them.
I watched him a number of times when he was at Burnley and concluded that he no longer has the pace or athleticism to play at wingback any more. So I'm slightly surprised Lowe's playing him there.
He's still a good footballer, technically, with a great left foot, so midfield would seem like better position for him these days.
Pace would certainly be one of the primary qualities needed to play wing-back.Quote:

I still think a wide left role is where he can be best deployed even if that is a slightly bespoke version of a LWB.
I'm so glad now I didn't type what I was tempted to write in response to this post a few days ago!Quote:

Pretty strong vote of confidence when you consider Robbie Brady's injury record. Brady must be in pretty good physical shape at the moment. I suppose we don't know all of the conditions of the contract.Quote:
