Gamble is a good player but no where near G O'C when he not diving to the ground like he's been shot.

they're different- gamble keeps it very simple and does all the basic stuff. very like claude makelele- might not look like a superstar but he keeps things ticking over

Probably the best so far this season has been Richie 'the rejected yank' Baker. Always a class act and is on fire at the moment although he didnt have much of an oppertunity against City last night. Hunt is the most consistant, Gamble will be the best, George is the most talented: Football, Acting and Diving

Basing it on the past three seasons, Hunt, followed by Stu Byrne and then possibly Rennie or George O'Callaghan (before the screaming commences, remember it includes the season he was playing with in Cork, and, God forgive him, with Rovers; besides, it's a different kind of game)

Of the current "young" guns, Gamble has a very bright future, but Gareth Farrelly really seems the genuine article. Stephen Bradley at Harps might be a big hit if he gets his game properly together.

Well the thing with Hunt is I don't think he's quite playing at his best and hasn't for the past season or so, while he's still been class he's not been at his dominant best imo.

Totally agree he stands heads and shoulders above the rest in my opinion. Last season he had a few niggly injuries so i think last season he wasn't as impressive as normal.When he gets his fitness back he will be again the best midfielder in the EL.
