Ipswich will be the litmus test as regards Keane managerial ability. He hasn’t got buckets of money to spend like he had at Sunderland. The signing of Delaney is an example of this.

Bad move for him. Going sideways instead of forwards. I'd even prefer to see him at Celtic over West Brom though any Premiership club (even Burnley as has been touted in some circles) would be my preferred destination if not his.

Could possibly be a very good move for him working with Owen Coyle. Burnley have some good young players and Coyle thus far has been able to get the best out of them and has not been afraid to put his faith in their abilites. Negative side is he could find himself involved in a gruelling relegation battle.

Personally I would like to see it happen. Celtic (and the SPL in general) has proven to be a graveyard for young players with talent. He needs to move elsewhere if he wants to fufill his potential.

Brendan Maloney out on loan to Notts county from Forest. Don't think Billy Davies is a fan of Brendans.

Anthony Gerrard, cousin off Stevie has joined Cardiff City from Walsall. A highly rated Centre-Back by all accounts.

He made a few appearances for us at underage level if I do rightly recall. Hes only 22 and we are light in options at the back.

Could be be one for the future???

He played a few times for the U-17s in friendlies. But, when it came to competitive games, he had to produce a valid Irish passport, and it turned out he didn't qualify for us.

Alan Mahon being linked with a move back to Tranmere on Sky.

Would be a good move for him. Another season in the Championship with a team that has a good chance of getting promoted.
I still wonder why Watford were so keen to loan him out in the middle of the season and now sell him to one of their rivals, if he was supposed to be one of their better players. Do they have cash problems?

**Wexford Delboy** · 05/07/2009, 9:17 PM

yeah they were supposed to be in serious debt...another solid season for o toole would do him the world of good but cant see him breaking into the national squad for another 2years imo
