Westwood linked with a move to Hull, according to a poster on YBIG.

At this rate, they'll have the entire Irish squad on their books by the end of January.

Steve Bruce seems to be going the Roy Keane "sign all of my old players" route.

**Murfinator** · 07/01/2013, 9:03 PM

If Westwood doesn't move in this window, I think it's times for Ireland to move on to be frank.

**Charlie Darwin** · 07/01/2013, 9:08 PM

Why? Because we have a grand total of one goalkeeper starting at the top level who may not even have his papers sorted yet?

**gastric** · 12/01/2013, 8:58 PM

Just read this report on Hull's performance today and it seems Jakupovic is not playing well. It mentions too that Bruce might just look for a new goalkeeper. Maybe there is merit to the above report about Hull's interest in Westwood.

Rumours that Trap is considering a rethink on his #1. I'd assume David Forde will be the one to benefit, consdering Trap was at the Hull-Milwall game this weekend.

Daniel McDonnell on Twitter: Interesting thoughts from Trapattoni on his goalkeeper situation today. Hinting at change in the pecking order. See tomorrow's @IndoSport

I'd be the flag waving president and founder of the David Forde fan club but the idea of him starting in Stockholm, on merit, is as unsettling as it is surreal.

**TrapAPony** · 04/02/2013, 12:01 AM

Mark Bunn soon hopefully

**ArdeeBhoy** · 04/02/2013, 12:36 AM

Aye, he'd make more sense...

**Charlie Darwin** · 04/02/2013, 7:53 AM

It seems Forde will get the nod. In other news, the media has finally caught up with the Sammon puns trend. God help us all.

**IsMiseSean** · 04/02/2013, 2:10 PM

Is it still possible for him to be loaned out to the Championship even though the transfer window is closed?

**Charlie Darwin** · 04/02/2013, 2:20 PM

Yeah, the window opens later this month.

**geysir** · 04/02/2013, 2:22 PM

Why would O'Neill loan out his back up goalie?

I don't think they have quite mastered the art yet though.

"Forde displaces Westwood as Sammon ready for big leap" is good, but..

"Forde displaces Westwood as Sammon ready for big leap but Bunn cross to be left out" would have been better!!

It's a bit fishy that Bunn hasn't been called up. Maybe it has crossed Trap's mind that Ford should be afforded the chance to displace Westwood who is at a crossroads in his career.

**geysir** · 05/02/2013, 7:08 AM

Has Bunn made up his mind yet, whether he wants to declare or not?

**ArdeeBhoy** · 05/02/2013, 7:32 AM

Sure, he's just waiting till Hoolahan & Pilkington become regulars...

muffin definite from him yet AFAIK.

**gastric** · 08/02/2013, 7:28 PM

O'Neill refutes Tardelli claim about Westwood wanting to leave Sunderland. Not a good 24 hours for the Irish management and can't help team relations or morale.
