    Shouldn't it be merged into the already-existing Hoolahan thread?

    Walters, Long or Doyle are all very suited to the lone front role. its the dropping Keane thing thats the issue

    The point is, A face attention seeking.
    Doesn't have the same effect if you follow procedure and actually post a Hoolahan related topic in the Hoolahan thread.

    The good thing for Trap is that as no one can understand him it is impossible to question his decisions (and get a comprehensible answer).
    (He is actually fluent in English )

    Shunted out on loan to Sheffield Wednesday, scored and set up a goal in the game that clinched promotion for them. He has all the talent to be a Premier League player but he seems to be a bit of a problem character.

    I always thought of Treacy as being a bit head-down, drive along the touchline and whip in a good ball. He's strong and has a great delivery but maybe lacks a trick or two. Still that's what they say about McClean and Kevin Kilbane made a career out of it.

    Kevin Kilbane and his bag of trick, as the old joke went.

    Yes, we could be saying the same about james mcclean in 10 years praying he gets dropped from the left back position.

    I think ultimately to play a 4-5-1 (and in turn drop Keane) we'd need more of a goal contribution from midfield. A good 4-5-1 system can be flexible to attack in a 4-3-3 shape. McGeady and Duff are far more the provider kind of wide player than a wing forward. If we had the likes of Robben with a serious goal threat we could look at it.

    Or McLean perhaps?

    Unless he doesn't get any game time, then the knives will be out in full force.

    He has been called in as a replacement for a player who is a regular in the squad yet gets practically no game time. I wouldn't hold high hopes of seeing him in action for Ireland any time soon.

    An Achilles injury will prevent Hoolahan from joining up with the squad.

    wouldn't count on that serb, trap has done similar things in the past. glad to see he's in the reckoning at least although i'm not yet as convinced as others on here of his messiah status.

    Can almost guarantee Gibson will be playing anyway, would be disappointed if wes was at that kind of carry on.

    Started today for Norwich, looked quite good on TV played a neat through ball, he was playing up front
    in a 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 where he was the first 1. They lost but it was close, Wes was one to 3 players
    rated 7 (top rating for Norwich), aslo had a header blocked IIRC and he put in a good cross.
