Lee Trundle

Could be playing in the Premiership as Doyle and Long and Morrisson play in the Championship. Great goal this evening. Can they hang on.

**beautifulrock** · 13/05/2008, 8:59 PM

Yes playing well, and has a bit of speed as well. Scanell is a flyer, a bit light just yet but full of speed and purpose.

**carloz** · 13/05/2008, 9:00 PM

Just scored a very good goal. Hit the crossbar in the second half too.

logged on to start this thread also - why hasnt he been called up ever not just in todays squad?

great goal - and bristol have just scored a second so morrisson , doyle and long will be playing in the championship unless their transferred to the prem

some great touches of brilliance by trundle this eve

Yeah the big questions about Trundle have been about his pace and workrate but no doubt that he has fantastic skill on the ball for a big lad.

yeah he can be lazy - would the prem get that out of him?
but as you say great skill - that chip near the end that hit the bar - cracker

full time - surely scannell now will be transferred to the prem as will doyle

He was discussed on the forum a while back. From what I can recall many people on here didn’t appear to rate him. I always thought he was good footballer and could do a job for us. He has always made it clear that he wanted to play for Ireland. Has scored some great goals for Swansea in the past as well and has some skill.I think he would be in his late twenties now.

**boovidge** · 13/05/2008, 9:27 PM

he has only scored 6 goals this season. One performance in an important game doesnt warrant a call up imo.

I wouldnt be against him being included in the future if his performaces merit it.

I think he was injured for a lot of the season though.

**SkStu** · 13/05/2008, 9:50 PM

ive always been a fan of Trundle - simply put hes a special player. He may be a luxury player though, which has never worked well in international football. Would love to see him capped if only because of what he can do and the fact that he has always wanted to play for Ireland, unlike Baldy McDeadgranny.

**geysir** · 13/05/2008, 10:11 PM

First time I have seen him. He looks the part all right.
Trap likes ~~lazy~~ laid back skillful players, you never know.

**Patrick Dunne** · 13/05/2008, 10:18 PM

He'll be 32 in October.

So he should be excluded because of that? If he can do the job he should be included. He hasn't scored very many this season and I doubt if Bristol City make it they will hold on to him. If they do then he deserves a look

**Jicked** · 14/05/2008, 7:56 AM

Would be a terrible addition to the squad, 6 goals all season but because some of you saw him "on the sky" as Stan does, he's suddenly worth a call up at 32 years of age? The Bristol fans are none too impressed with him this year, and there's a reason why despite a good goal record in League Two/One he was never bought by any big team....remember Bristol City were newly promoted and so still a League One side in many respects when they bought Trundle. Even if Bristol City go up its very unlikely that Trundle will be playing in the Prem regularly.

**Dr. Ogba** · 14/05/2008, 7:56 AM

how did I know there would be a thread on this guy this morning. I must say that barring the goal (which the keeper should have saved) and the effort against the bar, I think he was fairly anonymous for most of the match.

He also has a very annoying (especially to his teammates) tendency to take far too much out of the ball when keeping it simple would be the better option.

I think he'd be eaten alive in the prem imho...

Aside from that Clint and Doyle at the very least are far, far superior players. And I'd bet my house on not only Doyle getting a move but Bristol City being comfortably relegated if they make it.

I hope Lee doesnt read your post calling him a donkey, he may end up with SI not wanting to play as hes being bullied and called names

**kingofkillteely** · 14/05/2008, 8:32 AM

Seen him play many times. Sky labelled him a Maverick player, Outstanding or Terrible. A definate luxury but would be a better option than Morrison or Long.

Double standards there mate. You call people 'notorious tools' for having a view on SI and you come out with the statement above. In fact you offend two players in one sentence. You also have a habit of posting negative comments on players you never even seen play. For one you thought Damian Delaney played for Cork City and slagged off every player in the championship with the potential to play for Ireland without knowing anything about them. You may have a house at the age of 19 yrs and fair play to you but you have a lot of growing up to do. You have to accept that other people have an opinion and are entitled to this and if you don�t like their view ,argue it constructively and then you may be taken more seriously.

Hasnt done much to merit a call up, but then again Connolly is in the squad.....

Could be worse, you could have Ciaran for a next door neighbour
