i think S.K will give him a chance and want him to play. The pitches there are amazing.
How do you mute someone on here? :rolleyes:

Such a great prospect this guy. I watched him live at Toulon on t.v. He is a remarkable talent. Reminds me of Hoolahan,
I'm ok with this move. He might have hated the lower leagues in England when he was on loan last season. Hes probably more suited to continental football being small and technical. Keeps him playing 1st team football. If he doesn't make it at Wolves he might have options in other countries in the long term.
Jack Byrne similarly did well on continent and was disaster in lower English leagues. Id rather see Ronan end up in a decent European team than back in LOI living with his Mam (I know Ronan is English born before anyone corrects me)

Surely at 22 he should be looking to join a club that can offer him first team football at a lower level. He looked decent at Blackpool last season so there's no reason why his agent shouldn't be able to secure a move to a decent Championship club.
We've plenty lads at that, its an interesting one to keep an eye on I think, the way they are going about this if nothing else to see if he ends up any better of for it in the end.Quote:

Could it be just a ploy by Wolves to ensure he doesn't leave on a free? That when they decide to let him go, they get a nice six- or low-seven-figure sum from a Championship/League One/Continental team.
Might do a Victor Moses @ Chelsea thing!!!
My guess is that Wolves owners are anxious for a homegrown player or two to make the step up and the club are hedging their bets.
He’s got ample ability. It’s definitely less likely rather than more likely and in my opinion, playing in the second division in Switzerland is very much a backward step. I knew a lad who struggled to get into Finn Harps and UCD’s sides who played in that division during his Erasmus. That’s the level we’re talking about...
He’s got a touch of Wes about him and I think in reality, playing in a good footballing team with good players around him like Wolves, he’d have a chance to be very good.
Whatever about the level of the loan, the onus is on him to rip it up there and prove he's too good for that level.
Grasshopper are owned by the Wolves owner's wife so they're pretty much sister clubs. They're expected to dominate their league this year so Ronan will at least be in a team on the front foot at a decent level.Quote:

They will have to tighten the regulations on this. How I dont know, but they need to
Three games into the season in Switzerland, and Ronan is still to make his debut for Grasshopper. They're also taken another Wolves player on loan, Brazilian striker Bonatini,
They’ve taken a few Wolves players, have any of them in the match day squads yet?! Don’t think I’ve seen any of them. Strange one
Yeah, Bonatini scored yesterdayQuote:

Seem to have flooded Grasshoppers with young Wolves players. Appears to be poor planning on the face of it, especially if Ronan is fit
Ronan just tweeted that he's just back from injury and delighted to be back in time to make the u21 squad, which explains his absence for last few weeks.
Good to see him make the bench today, hopefully he will get a run out
On at halftime to make his debut. Great to see it!
Grasshoppers coasting 2-0 against in their “top of the table” clash
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3ukYOikE_Sg Ronan’s assist at the 2:20 mark. Multiple substitute appearances. Should be nearing a starting berth hopefully. Grasshopper top of challenge league
Scored his first goal for grasshopper, on Monday
It's from 2:50, if anyone doesn't want to watch the whole video.
Nice assist to the assist for the third goal as well
League back after winter break, Ronan started and played full 90 in 2-0 win on Sat.
still Unproven but he will be one of my first names on the team sheet if I were the irish manager, very clever player...If it was up to me vs Serbia I would go with a team like this...

You want to:
Give Ronan his senior debut in what's probably going to be the most important away game in the qualifiers
Play a defender in centre midfield, ahead of actual central midfielders Molumby, Knight, Hourihane, and Byrne
Play a full back in central defence, ahead of Clark, Collins, and Lenihan
Drop Hendrick completely (who's been good for Kenny), along with James Collins, Hourihane, Travers, Browne, and McClean
Did you not read the incessant rambling in the Dara O'Shea thread? Despite never playing there professionally, he's basically the best defensive midfielder in the world.
Also Conor Ronan's 10 games in the Swiss 2nd tier has over prepared him to play as a 10 in a World Cup qualifier if anything.
Its confusion tactics = = Nobody knows whats happening !Quote:

Plus he is a real number 10, (another option there, could be Callum O'Hare who isnt available yet, and the Johansson kid who is the same case). Or Jack Byrne, but Ronan is more agile as at # 10.
c) Molumby, Knight, Hourihane cant play the holding midfielder role, O'Shea can play there in the position is as a libero / sweeper but placed further on the pitch just ahead of the back 4, and when attacking he covers the spots, we defend with a back 3 with Coleman and Stevens in attacking positions.
d) Play a full back in central defense, ahead of Clark, Collins, and Lenihan ...... Yes, Doherty is better on the ball than any of them, can make a great partnership with Egan, I think Mick McCarthy did the same with Kenny Cunningham. Clark is cover for any of them.
e) Drop Hendrick completely (who's been good for Kenny), along with James Collins, Hourihane, Travers, Browne, and McClean. Yes our problem is in midfield, we need one of James McCarthy / Hendrick / Hourihane, McCarthy for me is an exceptional player to play the role of the experience mid, next to him a young midfielder to add hussle and pressure, could be Molumby, Knight, Browne but for me Cullen is the better of them all, plus he is very tidy to keep possession.
Travers or Kelleher and an experience playing keeper.
McClean sadly is not fitting my system, only as a left back. but we have cover there. James Collins or Sheridan, I like Sheridan more because he played C.L and in europe, better player. Experience is important.
dont be rude! Check Marcelo Bielsa pocket book, His players have to learn up to 3 different positions besides their current main posiition. Today henderson played as a centerback.Quote:
