Don't know where the got the Plymouth product from. Reckon this lad will end up in the Premiership soon enough. Seems to be back to his best now and is the driving force behind Burnley who are the form team in the Championship at the moment.

Wonder if Cahill's move to Chelsea will allow Coyle to sign him?

According to the Daily Mail Swansea are set to make a bid of 2 million for McCann

Sportinglife refer to it in their paper talk section.

Here's the direct link to it:

Would be a great move if he could hold down a starting place.
He would be another serious option for CMF and I think he has the potential to be better than Whelan if he gets an injury free run.

Totally agree with you. Fingers crossed. That injury set him back a couple of seasons but he is now back on track.

Rodgers has gone to Liverpool so presumably that scuppers the Swansea move. Liverpool would probably be too fanciful.

**tetsujin1979** · 02/07/2012, 9:25 AM

Linked with Norwich in this morning's papers. Would be a fantastic move for him if it goes through.

**paul_oshea** · 02/07/2012, 9:33 AM

Would be alright, and would be great for us too. We really need to start getting more opportunities, real alternatives in midfield.

Remember this is the lad who was threatened by Don Givens that he would never play for Ireland. And Givens still has the ear of Trap.

New contract at Burnley.

Cheeky assist from McCann to help grab the winner for Burnley.

**Charlie Darwin** · 23/10/2012, 8:49 PM

Just scored the winner for Burnley in the sixth minute of injury time in a 4-3 thriller at Bristol City.

**SkStu** · 06/04/2013, 3:27 PM

Scores Burnleys second from close range to go 2-1 ahead against Bristol City. Seems to like scoring against Bristol City...

**gastric** · 19/05/2013, 2:14 AM

Will be interesting to see if he can secure a Premiership contract.

**Charlie Darwin** · 19/05/2013, 2:23 AM

He's dead right to be fair. He's at a stage in his career where he needs to be pushing towards a higher level.

**gastric** · 07/06/2013, 7:57 AM

Hull and Palace supposedly showing interest! Good news.

If true does that mean bad news for one Irish person either way?

**gastric** · 19/06/2013, 7:50 AM

Newest rumour about McCann, he would be a good replacement for McCarthy, particularly as he would arrive on a free.
