Lee Trundle Again

**citizenerased** · 13/08/2007, 2:35 PM

Basically...I was too lazy..there is no valid reason that could have been on the preious pages to include him..he must be 29 or 30 at this stage? he scored a few goals for swansea, big deal...he wont get a sniff and rightfully so...we are trying to build for the future, why would stan give a 29 year old journeyman his debut? ...its players that i mentioned in my last post that are the future!

There are valid reasons and they are in the thread.

International football is about the present- you pick the best players at present, not who will be in the future. It's all about results here and now- it's up to clubs to develop players.

Just watch Doyle closely next time you see him - no pace, poor first touch -had a fluke first season last year - will do nothing this year. Not saying this out of malice - he's a good pro (apparently trundles a bit of a party boy) but he is not the real deal. Seen Trundle a good few times over the last few years - albeit on tv - bags of ability - I say give him a chance.
Keane first choice - Connolly second - then Trundle - those who say we are blessed with 10 top strikers are very optimistic - some of them not international standard - even Morrison wasn't up to it - just had to use him cos there was no one else - too often on the ground moaning looking for a free!

We have finally found a man who knows less then Staunton.

Is that you David Connolly? This is the most ridiculous post I have ever read on here.

I expect that's a joke considering his goal scoring record. I don't know if he is the fastest man on the planet, but Lynford Christie has not scored many Premiership goals. However I do think Trundle shoud be give a chance even though I expect Doyle is faster and has a better first touch, it would be interesting to see if Trundles trickery works at international level.
The Irish Ronaldo perhaps

Dont you mean the anglo-irish Ronaldo....

Jon Maken all over over again...

Lee Trundle an (almost) 31 year old journeyman who's only just now managed to get a transfer to a half decent league should be called up to the Ireland team? Give me strength. Better than Doyle? Maybe he meant Colin Doyle.

In my absence I see the same muck threads are still being recycled over and over again.

Absence?

Well anyway thank **** you're back to show us the light...

Look at the games that Keane and Connolly have played together and they have been a disaster. Keane and Connolly should and will never play together again. Keane and Doyle has all the potential to be a good partnership as it should allow Keanie to drop off like he likes to do and he wont get the abuse he gets when he is playing up top on his own and then he drops off.

You saying you want Robbie to end up in our half when we are attacking again like he tried to do under Kerr. Robbie Keane is a striker not a playmaker he will score us goals if he is up there to take the chances. Leaving Doyle up front on his own is not our best way of playing.

...maybe Doyle laces a pretty mean boot.

If you can find an Irish forward, in any division, who's better than Morrison at holding up a ball to buy a few seconds to get people involved ...you pick him!

keane naturally drops deep to link up play, its a fundamental part of his game and his biggest strenght..

Simple answer no its not... I try to get to as many games as i can and watch as much as possible but I always seem to notice Keane trying to do a defensive midfielders job. I mean when Spurs are attacking sometimes when Keane and berba play together Berba gets isolated something that Roy Keane exploited very well last week. Frustrated the two of them something rotten
