Harry Redknapp on Marc Wilson:
"We've given Marc a two-year contract.

"There's no doubt he'll make a living in the game. He's played league football already at Bournemouth. He has good ability, is a big lad at 6ft 2in and can play. It's up to him what level he plays at."

6'2? didn't know that, what's his best position, centre-half?

Central midfield I think. He looks huge in the pictures I saw of him. He's one of the dozens of young Irish players with a bebo page.

Here's another video of O'Dea joking around after the one where he threw the reporter in the bath:

Seems to be a bit of a character.

Willo Flood is going on a season long loan to Dundee United.
From the bench at a Championship club, to (hopefully) regular football at an SPL club...

Good move for him. He hasn't been given much of a chance at Cardiff and a lot of the fans seem to like him:

He should do well in the SPL.

Man City Academy manager Jim Cassell on recent Irish recruit Paul Marshall: http://www.mcfc.co.uk/default.sps?pagegid={DBD12D53-8346-431D-A04F-5D0F8664DE80}&newsid=432218

Marshall made an impression on the Blues’ reserve side last season as he scored four goals from eight starts, with another five appearances from the bench, before rounding off his season with the final goal in the 3-1 Senior Cup Final win over Manchester United.
Jim said of Paul: “He’s a local boy who has been with us since he was about eight or nine.
“He’s a left-sided midfield player with a wonderful left foot and is very good in dead ball situations. He’s much quicker than he looks, because we have been working with him on his running style.
“Paul is a player with a terrific attitude, he’s a good worker, is no trouble at all and I know that he’ll have no problems fitting in around first team players.”

Apparently Elliot is for sale

**Raheny Red** · 01/06/2007, 2:15 PM

Paddy McCarthy is being linked with a move to Charlton

Any links to confirm this? A move to a decent Championship club could be just what he needs.

**The Legend** · 04/06/2007, 5:16 PM

i've seen no mention of this on Sunderland boards, but its a good educated guess... his injuries have done him in i am afraid...

Sorry I can't recall where I read it, think it was the Irish Independent site or the Beeb! It was a list of targets, those released (Cunningham etc) and those for sale (Elliot + some others).
