Call this boy up now! I'd hate us to lose out on him (a la Tim Cahill). Could be a real prospect!

Two fantastic goals from him also. Two beauties!

Yeah, I know
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist thinks it will change; the realist adjusts the sails.
Cox took his goal well but Kiely made a couple of top class saves, for a 39 year old he's still a great shot stopper
He's playing well but It'll take time to convince me of him, lets not forget he was deemed behind Shane Long, Noel Hunt and Dave Mooney at Reading, 3 strikers who probably aren't good enough for us.
A younger, slimmer Lee Trundle?
Did Aldo ever scored goals like that?
Bit of a mute point considering where Reading are at the moment and how these players careers are developing i.e. his star is rising while Hunt is out injured, Long dosent seem to be progressing and Mooney is playing League One on loan with Charlton while Cox is scoring regularly and chasing promotion to the Premiership
I have a head only Snow White would love
He's still only 22 and is making all the right noises. Why not give him a try?
Still, being a Reading reject doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. He might be hitting above his paygrade at the moment a la john makin.
caught the game on Setanta last night. First time i seen him in action but theres something about this player. His technique is excellent and cerny made a few good saves from him, one in particular just before the goal.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Saw the game myself & I'd have to agree with you. Trap should
definitely get this guy on board for the next friendly.
He has a good goals/game ratio at all his clubs. Is only 22 also.

Birmingham City forward Gary McSheffrey hopes to make a belated entry to the Republic of Ireland international set-up – as he believes he’s more Irish than some of Giovanni Trapattoni’s current squad.
McSheffrey comes from solid Irish roots, with his father and three grandparents all coming from these shores.
The 27-year-old represented England at under-21 level but under newly-constituted Fifa regulations, but whereas previously the change of nationality needed to be declared before the age of 21, players of any age can now switch allegiances once they have not played a senior international.
McSheffrey’s fourth grandparent is Scottish, meaning he also qualifies for the Tartan Army, and he hopes he still has an international future with either country.
The former Coventry City star told the Sunday Mercury: “My old man is Irish and I’ve got three Irish grandparents. I’m probably more Irish than some of the players in the current squad. My mum’s mum is also Scottish.
“It’s up to them whether they want me. It would be nice to be given the chance to play international football and I’d definitely consider it if I were given the opportunity.
“The rule has changed. Before I used to have to declare myself but I thought that it would just be arrogant to declare myself to a country that hadn’t shown any interest in me.
“I see the case being that if somebody does their homework and sees that I’m capable of adding to their squad then I’d be asked. I don’t think I can comment until the opportunity is there.”
McSheffrey has started just one Barclays Premier League game for Birmingham this season and has been linked with a move away from St Andrews before the end of the January transfer window.
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist thinks it will change; the realist adjusts the sails.
That's brilliant! Just to point out how Irish he is he says that his mum's mum is also Scottish.
There's nothing arrogant in declaring your nationality? He was sitting on the fence morelike.......
I thought you were off the drink Ronnie?

More like pimping his nationality. He can't get his game at Birmingham so he's hoping that getting called up to an international squad will get him a move at club level.
Exactly. You say Tomato, I say........ I was being facetious.

I'm almost certain I read before that he threw his hat in with Scotland..
