Looked him up, Jamil Adam is his name and apparently he's played for the Nigeria under 20s already so this would be a good steal if he ends up being good, also could spice up the Nigeria friendly (though thats probably too soon)

Just the once, a cup tie in January against West Ham, he came on late in the game. He was an unused sub in the League Cup game against Crewe in August

According to the fai site here - http://www.fai.ie/index.php?option=c...k=view&id=4122 - he qualifies through his parents

Quote:

"Terry Conroy, who is the FAI’s Welfare Officer in Britain, brought Jamil Adam to our attention. He qualifies through parentage and was keen to represent Ireland. He is a player that can play on the wing or just off the main striker, so he could give us something different attack. Like a lot of this squad, he is still Under-18 and is eligible to play again at this level next season.”

Just signed Gary on loan till the end of the season:

Might've missed out on Gannon for manager, but at least he has the decency to give us some players instead!

Can anyone tell me a bit more about Dicker? ie. strengths, weaknesses etc?

Dave Mooney extends his loan at Norwich til the end of the season.

I have never seen Alan Judge play but seems like he could be a genuine contender for the senior match.

Hutton could earn a permanent move to Cheltenham:

Greg Cunningham is in the Man City squad for the prestigious (it says here) Dallas Tournament, also including AC Milan, Eintracht Frankfurt, Toronto, Tigres, River Plate, Sao Paolo, and Vancouver Whitecaps

Despite being a winger/forward when he signed for City, Cunningham has been playing at left back for the youth team

Chris Fagan signs for Hamilton, good be a good move for him if he gets game time:

No Kevin Doyle or Noel Hunt in the Reading matchday sixteen for the game at Coventry today. Stephen Hunt named on the bench. What's going on here? Are they too knackered to play?

Unless I'm mistaken, John O Flynn doesn't seem to be included in that site.
I think he would've been the top Irish scorer for March with five for Barnet.
