Il Trap seems to be working his charm.
Dean Kiely back too, and Paddy Kenny seems to be back from the wilderness as well.
All we need now is a captain with a professional attitude.

fantastic news. always felt he'd be back. . . . as for ireland.... dont get me started. i think the other thread conveys everyones opinions haha
delighted! finnans return makes a very ordinary back four (exception Dunne) look alot more reliable. if id the choice between finnan and s.ireland it would be finnan hands down!!! :D
Very good news, I for one didn't think he would return, glad it looks like I was wrong, we now have a half decent defence(rather than a quarter decent one)
yes the other thread does convey everyones opinion, more want him back than dont simple as. The people who dont want him back are more vocal thats all. The stats dont lie.
As for Finnan great news, fantastic, good work by Trap
I think Trap used the wrong words. He was saying that Finnan can't play in these 2 games but "In August..sure he'll come back". I think he meant to say he was confident he would come back. FAI.ie use the word confident too.
Good news if he is back we will need all the best players we have for WC campaign
top stuff I am very happy with that news :):):)
He's vital for the qualifiers. So much better than Kelly - although Kelly is still learning, might turn into a top defender. But Finnans experience and quality is essential
good man finnan - great to have you back. :)
Finnan is one of our best players right now so this is fantastic news and will be a big boost for the World Cup Qualifiers ... hopefully all of our key players can stay injury-free and some of the younger talents can get good quality experience.
Cant find any confirmation of this on either RTE, FAI or Steve Finnan site
What about Finnan as captain for the upcoming qualifying campaign?
I thnk you're having us on! :o
It's just the old news from yesterday when Trap said "In august I sure he'll be bak" or words to that effect.Quote:

However, even without confirmation I'm pretty sure he will come back.

Obviously he didnt have much reason other than maybe the manager situation if he's happy to come back so soon.
Good player but hardly captain material
He's an experienced talented player, if hes back in the fold, this shows hes committed to the fold.
Fair enough on your comment about him retiring though, might send out a bad message to the rest of the squad.
Good stuff stevie, great to have you back
Can't find it anywhere. Hopefully he'll be back. Just a pity that he is not first choice at Liverpool anymore.
Liverpool have signed Swiss international right back Philipp Degen from Borussia Dortmund on a free transfer.
Does this spell the end of Finnan at Liverpool considering he hasn't been 1st choice since the start of the season?
