I guarantee if Long or McCarthy does up end moving to Liverpool, our attendances at home matches will automatically increase.
Apparently, Long was linked with a move to Newcastle in FM104's sports news today.
Pardew has been interested in Long before: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...hane-Long.html
Lazio also reportedly interested, according to the Star and Mail - surely Champions League football and a potential scudetto would trump the freefall at St James's?
I bet Trap would love him playing there. Screw going to Carrow Road or Stoke to watch Irish players live in action, when you can head to the Stadio Olympico!!Originally Posted by culloty82
I really hate Lazio...
I did Nazi a move to Lazio coming for Shane.
Lazio scouts look out, Long puts West Brom 1-0 up at QPR in the FA Cup.
From BBC: "Shane Long breaks the deadlock at Loftus Road to put West Brom 1-0 up against QPR. George Thorne broke into the box and when his shot was blocked, Long was on hand to stroke the ball home from 12 yards."
Not even in the squad today to face his old club Reading. I haven't heard anything about an injury and he was in all the papers yesterday saying he was dying to play.
Injury news about Shane Long is considered classified information at West Brom.
I'm sure Trap will fill us in now that I think about it. Panic over!
Leg injury according to fantasypremierleague.com
Picked up in training yesterday according to M.O.T.D. Can't help but wonder if a bid has gone in.
EDIT - The Lazio thing is in to 3 to 1 on this : http://www.skybet.co.uk/football/spe...nsfer-specials

Has been injured ALOT! in West Brom career.... sense of fore-boarding about his longevity at top level...
Or he's just been injured since early in the season and his manager has insisted on playing him instead of letting the injury heal. And then criticising Long's international manager for letting the cat out of the bag about his revolutionary injury management strategy.
Well better he is injured than being dropped for being carp I guess.
Hopefully he will be back before Long - if that's possible
Goal Long. Throughball puts Lukaku in, rounds the keeper but his shot lacks power. Heitinga somehow mis-controls, the ball goes straight up in the air, and Long heads in to the empty goal from 6 yards out.
My Guarantee
Am looking for old Irish matches on VHS, PM me if you have some and I'll upload them here
Defensive error alright but great to watch the sharpness and determination of Long to sniff the chance out and beat Heitinga and the other Everton defender to the ball to head home.
I thought you were off the drink Ronnie?

Was thinking the same thing - he took a gamble and got his reward. just like he did against Sunderland. Robbie would be proud.
'Premier League - Paper Round: European giants target Long': http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/p...GlvbnM-;_ylv=3
The Daily Mirror reports that both Serie A side Lazio and Liga powerhouse Sevilla are keen on securing the Irishman’s signature.
West Brom also face a battle to keep Long from clubs closer to home as he has "also attracted attention from Tottenham, Newcastle United and Liverpool."
The paper explains: "Lazio were keen on Long before the transfer window closed last week and are keeping tabs on him along with Sevilla.
"Long will enter the final year of his contract at the end of the season but Albion have an option to extend it for a further 12 months.
"However, they are keen to secure his long-term future and are set to offer him a new four year deal."
He is 26 going on 27, wants to start delivering on the promise, put the rest behind him. He has 2 good years or so after this year, it seems 30 is too old for a striker these days.
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,

Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
