Tonight is his second start in a row, which he hasn't done since September: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/Play...playerID=55748

he's not even in my top 3 favourite Dutchmen.

Denis Bergkamp, DJ Tiesto and Dick VanDyke by the way.

Ruud Gullit has to be ahead of him too, surely?

**tommy_c12000** · 15/12/2010, 10:34 PM

Anyone know how he played?

**osarusan** · 15/12/2010, 10:57 PM

He whipped in some dangerous corners, but not much from open play. Got taken off with about 10 mins left.

**DannyInvincible** · 16/12/2010, 2:16 AM

Didn't see the game. Did he look like a realistic option for us?

**ifk101** · 16/12/2010, 7:45 AM

I thought he was quite poor tbh. His touch wasn't great and his passing was weak. Certainly not international standard based on last night's game.

Paul Doyle did the Minute-by-Minute on the Guardian yesterday and said he would keep an eye on Barry Maguire over the course of the 90 minutes. Ultimately, this is all he had to say about him:

84 min: Maguire, having done little to suggest he'd be better than Stephen Hunt. Liam Lawrence. Keith Fahey or Aiden McGeady in the Irish side, totters off to be replaced by Sarota.

Yea I tried to watch the match but it was a pretty boring low quality affair,
Didn't really see much of McGuire, certainly nothing to impress.
Nobody on the pitch would get in the Ireland squad!!

I have to agree. And it doesnt help that he's slow with and without the ball. Its the same story in the Dutch league games.

Don't forget "2 Unlimited" as well. Who could forget the brooding tour de force that was "No Limits".

Ok so Maguire doesn't appear to be all he's cracked up to be, but what about this fella called Adam Maher who scored for AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League?

**cornflakes** · 16/12/2010, 10:19 PM

According to wiki Adam Maher was born in Morocco, so he must be Irish true and true

**liamoo11** · 16/12/2010, 11:20 PM

what about the Cummins lad on the bench for Utrect.22 year old keeper surely one of ours?

His forebears were poached by the Barbary pirates.

Keeper Cummins...

**geysir** · 17/12/2010, 12:35 PM

Very good, Fly.

Transferred from Utrecht to VVV Venlo - essentially dropping from mid-table to relegation candidates. Doesn't say if it's permanent or a loan deal.

Important I believe that he has experience in the Premier League. "
