He certainly gave the impression he knew more than he was able to say.

Franco Baldini sighted at Molineux today.

If he declared I'd have no problem. He's a talented footballer and could bring something extra. Could be the next Trigger McAteer or Matty Holland, generations removed but notching a crucial goal for Ireland.

I wonder what exactly Trap said to prompt Maloney's speculation. Maybe that'l come out during the week. Interesting paraphrasing anyway, as is the fact someone thought O'Hara a likely enough candidate to get Brady's opinion on him.

**SolitudeRed** · 26/02/2011, 11:58 PM

He looks a decent player and will be getting regular games in the Premiership, he has gotta be a better option than the likes of Green. Would still have reservations though gien hes not sounded overly keen on playing for Ireland.

PS on a side note according to wikipedia O'Hara is going out with your one Danielle Lloyd who was involved with the Big Brother racism scandal!

**Charlie Darwin** · 27/02/2011, 12:14 AM

They've been together for a couple of years now.

**theworm2345** · 27/02/2011, 4:30 AM

Just an interesting note, this thread used to be titled "Nolan, O'Hara and Naughton possible call ups" and all three scored Saturday.

**paul_oshea** · 27/02/2011, 4:43 AM

naughton did more than score though.

**gastric** · 27/02/2011, 6:24 AM

Watched the Blackpool game today and O 'Hara again showed a deft touch and controlled the midfield albeit against ten men for most of the game. His goal was probably down to bad goalkeeping from Kingson, but overall he showed why he would be an excellent recruit and asset for us.

**tetsujin1979** · 27/02/2011, 12:07 PM

Just a thought, is it that he would be a good recruit, or that he would be a good recruit right now, given that injuries and uncertainty means that the squad is missing the likes of Meyler and McCarthy? Say, in two seasons, with those two, plus Clifford and maybe an improved Gibson, would O'Hara still be as wanted?

**paul_oshea** · 27/02/2011, 12:16 PM

We are looking for Mr right now, not Mr Right i think tets.

**Yard of Pace** · 27/02/2011, 1:16 PM

Maybe an improved Gibson? That's a big maybe at the moment. O'Hara would be a huge asset now and in the future, it's ludicrous to think otherwise. He's a GOOD player, a good character. I can't believe people wouldn't want him playing for us just because he didn't get Tiocfaidh ar L� tattooed on his chest when he was 5 years old. If he comes to play for us it ain't for the good of his health, career, bank balance or status, so I'm happy to believe it is because he has some affinity to Ireland and his family here.

**geysir** · 27/02/2011, 1:17 PM

If he has signaled his declaration to play for Ireland then fair enough.
Doubtful that he would be cleared in time to play next month.

**Manc Irish Wolf** · 27/02/2011, 1:45 PM

Went to the game yesterday and am overjoyed that O'Hara is possibly going to swear his alliegance with us. The Kid is class. Hungry for the ball, always looking to pass and move and a great shot on him (like Darron Gibson, except with enthusiasm and balls). When we won he had his arms raised and fists clenched - it looked like the win meant more to him than any other player on the pitch - a sign of a born winner. I can't believe that he isn't good enough for Spurs, he's much better than Jenas and Huddlestone, for his desire alone. If we get hold of him it'll be a real coup.

Didn't take long for Clark's clearance to go through at all though. I wouldn't rule out seeing him against Uruguay.

**geysir** · 27/02/2011, 4:23 PM

Afair, it took over 4 weeks for Clark to be cleared in time for the Norway game.

Maybe FIFA operate an express clearing service for twice the normal price.

**LFCSixty/Eighty** · 27/02/2011, 7:08 PM

I'm amazed so many people here would love to see O' Hara declare for us. This thread has been going since October 2009 and he is only now deciding to declare for us. It took Clark a matter of weeks to decide he wanted to play for us even though there was every chance he could have went on to play for England.

O'Hara on the other hand in an England reject who is only going to declare for us after realizing he will never pull on his beloved 3 Lions jersey.

Its these kind of players that give us a bad name from people who accuse us of allowing players to play for us who own an Irish red setter and I for one will be disgusted when he be parachuted into the set up, if not the team by Trap.
