Cillian Sheridan

[aidinho]

He played up front mate and he was murder, I reckon he will be loaned out again because hes just not up to it for Celtic.

Watch out for Graham Carey he is a class act and I think hes an Irish lad too, just signed a new contract for us then got loaned out to some ****ty championship team.

PS. his free kicks are Ronaldoesqe and just scored wan the other day for his new team. still only 20 or something I think.

told yous Sheridan was murder. but Carey does look like an excellent prospect though.

Aye ya did that and what has happened to prove you right?

You also said Daryl 'who'da fcuk is he' Murphy wasnae cellic class.....oh no..wait a minute, after ten minutes in a preseason friendly it was Daryl 'I like the look of his jib - cellic to the core' Murphy....full circle....nope he is now definitely $hite again.

As Jim Craig would say - yer a bampot laddie!

Shades of Keane to Inter, hope the new manager will give him a chance (assuming the new manger still has to be appointed)

The Gary Doherty option...

The Gary Doherty option...

Ah, give him a chance. He has good feet, unlike Doherty.

Played the full 90 mins in CSKA's 2-2 draw away in Wales last night.

No match report so far in the English language Bulgarian paper. Plenty about him in Bulgarian though:

I thought his touch was utterly atrocious against Argentina, but his headers were well directed.

[Razors left peg]

Ive never seen him do anything in any game that justifies his selection in the Irish squad. Personally I think hes one of the poorest players Ive ever seen in an international shirt. I know hes young and that might sound harsh but even the basic stuff like work rate and first touch is awful. And Im not just judging his work rate on the Argentina game when he had played the night before, its been every game Ive seen him in.And lets not forget he didnt even score goals at Plymouth when he was there on loan, it should be a given that any player with ambitions to play for us should do well at that sort of level

Unnecessary harsh comments. Cillian Sheridan needs the routine and experience from first team football before a fair assessment of his future potential can be made. He's not a superstar in the making but he does offer something that is currently missing in the squad. Agree that he has a poor touch but let's be honest about it, how many of our players have a good touch? Richard Dunne's touch is truly awful for example. Obviously there's a host of professional football clubs that see something in Cillian Sheridan so trust their judgement and give the kid a fair chance to show his worth before whinging about his selection in the squad.

[Razors left peg]

Im all for giving lads a chance to develop but my original comment was that I have never seen him do anything to justify his selection in the squad and I stand by that. A call up to the international team should be earned and I just dont think he has even come close to earning that selection

[ifk101]

Only 3 strikers were originally named in the squad. Fact of the matter is that we don't have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to our striking options and Sheridan's current inclusion in the squad is justified and necessary. Yes call-ups to the international squad should be "earned" but common sense dictates we need to have a few striking options in the squad for the forthcoming double-header if, heaven forbide, Keane or Doyle should get injured. Sheridan offers the target player alternative that would be missed if he wasn't included in the squad.

[SkStu]

justified and necessary ifk? Cant agree on either. Im with Razor on this one.

[Razors left peg]

I would argue that if we are just gonna pick someone to be a target man then Jon Daly would have a bigger shout for a call up than Sheridan has. Daly is just the first name that comes to mind but he has at least scored goals regularly in the SPL, which Sheridan hasnt done. I by no means think Daly is good enough either, but he at least could justify his inclusion more than Sheridan

Well I'd rather have a fourth striking option in the squad if anything were to happen to either Doyle or Keane. It's both necessary and justified to have that option. I trust in Trapattoni.

Scrapping the bottom of the barrel bringing Jon Daly's name into the equation.
