I doubt he's eligible for Wales. He might well be called into the Ireland squad though as McGeady's absence will surely pull another striker out to the wing.Quote:

But he is only on stand by anyway, if he was keen on capping him surely he would have called him up???
So by that reasoning it is low priority for him, were I manager I would get players capped as early as possible.
What's the obsession with capping people?
Trap has a squad to fill. If lots of people drop out, he may as well keep an eye on who's next in case it happens in a competitive tie.
If a player is called up, three days' training will tell a lot about them. A cap isn't necessary at all.
There's more to international management than just the bit the fans see.
It shows interest and is a boost to the player, the friendly is meaningless.
Half the players would probably rather be elsewhere anyway, so give em a break give him a cap!!!
Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales have certainly showed interest and given a boost to a lot of players in recent years. **** all good it's done them.

No doubt he has a Irish Grandma too!!
Madden called into the squad: http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/inter...ireland-squad/
Quote:
Speaking to the Yeovil Town website, ytfc.net, Madden said: “I am so proud to be called up to the squad. This is something I have dreamt about since I was a small lad.
“I know a few members of the squad having played with them at other levels for Ireland. I cannot wait to meet up with them all tomorrow and fingers crossed I get to show everyone what I can do.”
Would it be accurate to say that Madden not only in stature but playing style resembles a younger Kenny Miller of Scotland?
Paddy's been transfer listed by Yeovil.
After being their top scorer last year, he hasn't really featured this year and is rumoured to have fallen out with the manager, Johnson.
Life in the Chamionship looks to have been a very difficult adjustment for him as I predicted it would be.
Are you making a challenge to be the board's top oracle, Stu?
I wouldn't and couldn't even begin to challenge our resident oracle - Paul O'Sage... :)Quote:

Given he scored so many for Yeovil in league one you would think he would be able to bag a few in the Championship, although his goal scoring did seem toQuote:

Wonder if another Championship club will give him a chance or will he have to drop down a level.
I hope some Championship club is willing to take a gamble based on him based on his form last season?
Got any tips for this weeks Euro-millions numbers?Quote:

Looks like a permanent deal. Odd.
We are hearing Yeovil forward Paddy Madden has agreed a deal to join Scunthorpe United. Madden has passed his medical and is expected to sign a two-and-a-half-year deal at Glanford Park after finding himself out of favour at Huish Park.
putting the cnut in Scnuthorpe... couldn't resist - sorry. :)
Got to see his debut yesterday (all 6 minutes of it).
Worst game of football I have ever seen in my life. More headers than foot passes.
Find it astounding that he couldn't get a move to a top 6 team in League One.Quote:

Impressive goal for Madden at the weekend.
Great strike, shame the ref got in the way of seeing him strike it.
Paddy on why he left Yeovil. Mirrors comments on here as to why he left.

Late equaliser for Madden at his former club Yeovil. I bet he enjoyed that after the way he left the club.
A first-half double has turned around a deficit for Scunthorpe at Barnsley and brought Madden up to 8 for the season.
New contract for Madden.

Hopefully his goalscoring form in pre-season ensures he starts the season proper in his preferred position.
At the risk of jinxing him, he's motoring along at the top of the League One goalscoring charts, after adding two today - let's hope he gets a crack at Championship level soon
10 in 17 and 5 in his last 5 games.
Fulfils many a childhood dream and is interviewed by Shoot: http://www.shoot.co.uk/exclusive-lea...rm-scunthorpe/
I once had a question to Jimmy Greaves published by Shoot and received a cheque for £5 for the privilege. :o
Two more for Madden today, this time in the FA Cup - 12 for the season now and it's still early November
