Did ok, not ready for regular premier league starts IMO. My preference is for a loan move ideally continental in Jan for guarantee 90 minute senior games, not bit part

Some more good news on the Irish player front --> https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2023...wolves-chance/

**paul_oshea** · 11/01/2023, 9:01 PM

How's he going to get a chance if he's not even making the bench in cup games. Seems a bit disingenuous

**SkStu** · 11/01/2023, 9:05 PM

The quotes in the article you posted suggest to me that he has a lot to do to impress Lopetegui… iirc he said something along the lines of “to see if he is good enough to stay/be here”…vs… a “he’s impressing in training and he will get his chance if he keeps it up” type quote. Either way, I wasn’t too optimistic after reading the article.

**paul_oshea** · 11/01/2023, 9:07 PM

I mean the articles just above there stu : P

And yes he's then followed up with "He's going to have his chance. We have a lot of matches and I am sure he's going to have minutes."

If not now, then when? He had class,he coulda been a contender

I know, I was on a roll though and didn’t want to read it again. I’d meant to post something yesterday when you posted it.

For what it’s worth, I’d love to see him move away permanently, Championship level, to a Norwich or something.

**Eirambler** · 11/01/2023, 9:13 PM

Don't think he'd get his game for Norwich to be honest. Sheffield Wednesday have been linked as well as a few of the mid rank Scottish teams.

**SkStu** · 11/01/2023, 9:20 PM

I think Championship should really be his next step and the right level for him at this stage. Norwich perhaps ambitious but I more meant that type of team/club that celebrates a technically strong playmaker.

**JR89** · 18/01/2023, 11:09 AM

Could be on the move to the US.

**Diggs246** · 18/01/2023, 11:37 AM

I hope not, outside of Robbie I cant see at US based player playing much international football for us
He just wont get picked. he is a young guy stay in Europe man

**ifk101** · 18/01/2023, 11:57 AM

Is he good enough for senior international football? He's 25 in March - all he has shown to date is that he is a competent player for St Mirren.

**Jd2793** · 18/01/2023, 11:59 AM

he'd be mad to turn down MLS.

**Diggs246** · 18/01/2023, 12:12 PM

I don't know if I'm honest
But his position is somewhere we are in need of. Jamie McGrath was st mirran and he has imo being great for us. I would really hope he gets a championship move or the Netherlands or Belgium perhaps

**Jd2793** · 18/01/2023, 12:23 PM

theres no excuse these days for management to not keep up on games. mls is widely televised and all highlights will be on instat/wyscout etc which FAI have access to. personally doubt the lad will ever be a international level player but look kenny seems to think jamie mcgrath is so anything is possible!

Depends on the money I suppose.

**BOOMSHAKALAKA** · 18/01/2023, 12:28 PM

Wait! Ronan is a superior player to Hodge isn't he? Why is he being sold to the MLS and Hodge is getting game time with Wolves?

**Eirambler** · 18/01/2023, 12:41 PM

Hodge's potential is far higher than Ronan's. Ronan is one of those technically neat players that supporters love but managers don't trust at a high level. He does some lovely things, scores the occasional absolute belter but then goes missing in games as well. There isn't much of a defensive side to his game there that I can see and that will usually put coaches off. A bit like Jack Byrne I suppose. These players that don't develop the out of possession side of their game rarely make it at the top level.
