QuoteWho does he play for? Im guessing Watford.
A no nonsense battling captain who can score a few goals.
In the premiership next season.....we suck and have no midfield any takers?
Who does he play for? Im guessing Watford.
If he is eligible to play for us and wants to I would have him.Good no nonsense strong player who did not appear TIRED after a long season with Watford when they played Leeds last Sunday.
Yea mate captain there for a few seasons...I dont want to beg for him like that fool nolan ( who could not even make england's b team last night ) but we are crying out for a competitive midfielder..
I've been aware of this guy since he was at Brentford, purely because he sounds Irish. But is he eligible, or does he just sound eligible?
from wikipedia
Dont know if he's declared for anyone though or if he has parents from here etcGavin Mahon (born January 2, 1977 in Birmingham) is a professional
English football player who currently plays as a midfielder for Watford F.C.
Mahon was previously a trainee with Wolves before being released to
non-league Hereford United in 1996. His two years at Hereford impressed
Brentford who signed him for a nominal fee. Mahon was later promoted a
division after signing for Watford in 2002

Im sure its a granny rule job, the sun did a article a while back.
But im sure if asked he would be game .
I mean it when i say we have no midfield
Ah well, just more speculation. Off topic slightly but while making reference to a Watford Player, what's the story with Marlon King? Was he not linked to us some time ago?
I think he already declared for going back as far as when Watford were last in the premiership...
well king is playin for jamica now but was mad keen to play for us, he had some passport issues, got snubbed then choose the reggae boys
And in between all that he was jailed for facilitating car theft! At Gillingham I think.Originally Posted by bwagner
I might be wrong but I think Plastic Paddy mentioned Gavin Mahon on this forum a few months back. Appologies if it wasnt you PP. Whoever mentioned him definitely thought he qualified for Ireland.
As for Marlon King. He was very keen to play for us a few years back. He played for Jamaica against us at the Valley two years ago.

Saw in the playoff final Mahon making an excellent tackle. This was late in the game and when they were 3-0 up. Shows dedication, commitment and always willing to give 100%. Exactly what Ireland needs in CM. I'd still hav Kav ahead of him but it will be interesting to see how he does in the Prem.
dmandmythdledge i think given the chance he would quickly out do kav.
Hes only 27 or 28 he must be dying for a cap at international level
Get him in for the holland match maybe he could be ready for next years games.

Midfield ...could be a great mix of attacking on the wing and strenght in the middle
we can't afford to turn away players but remember we have any amount of midfielders that have or would look top class in the championship. steven reid, alan mahon, graham kavanagh etc. john o'shea and kilbane would look like world beaters there. saying that he's def worth a look along with that young lad at ipswich.
Sorry I meant at the moment. Ye I agree with you.
I dont want us to sound dispirit but we need someone to kick the rest of the midfield's hole .
Honestly for the past 2 or 3 years we have looked awful there starting form russia 2002 up.
Something has been rotten in the team and we need change badly.
The midfield are continually giving away bad passes and always being over run.
How about his namesake, Alan Mahon, a winger for Wigan (he is on loan though right now)
I salute your memory, JPM, for indeed it was I. Mahon claims his mother is Irish - or certainly did when this article was written back in November 2003.

Given the season(s) he's has in a Watford shirt (especially since making the permanent switch to centre midfield) I'd have him in an Ireland squad, no bother.

I'm sorry but if anyone thinks Kevin Doyle is the answer up front, we might as well call it a day now. I had to remind myself he was even playing against Chile. Jason Byrne made a bigger impression......early days yet I know for Doyle, but if his lack of presence that he has showed since stepping up to International level is anything to go by, he's going to struggle big time in the premiership next season. Hope I'm wrong, but I just don't see anything in him, apart from the odd header here and there. Still behind Morrisson in my book.
As for Mahon/Nolan - bring them on. We are brutal, absolutely brutal in midfield. At this stage I'd even try Joey O'Brien there as it's his natural position. Hopefully Stephen Ireland will play a lot for City. Because Liam Miller is just *no superlative exists to describe how bad he is*.
