Lee Trundle Again

This from the BBC site

30 year old who has never played top flight football. Worth a punt?

No.

I liked the bit that reads: Trundle has dreamed of playing international football since he was a schoolboy. Sorry to be cynical, butI doubt he dreamed of playing for Ireland.

I don't think so......he's been talked about for five years, yet he's only managed to climb the tree to Bristol City!!

Not even my club, who are desperate to sign another striker, have given him a second glance!

Certainly not a penny more!

"I could have stayed in the comfort zone at Swansea but I had to take the chance to step up and prove myself at a higher level."
Why didnt he move earlier so. Unless he gets at least 20 goals in the championship this year i dont see him entering the equation.

I saw him years ago,before all the hype, playing against Carlisle and he looked great.We have tried worse than him.......

Why? He's one of the few players I genuinely believe always wanted to play for Ireland. I don't think he was lying on live TV when he said he wore Ireland jerseys as a kid while all his mates were in England kits. I think it's too late for him to be thinking about international football just to boost his reputation, as many players are guilty of.

Oh right. Fair enough. I didnt see that interview.

Age may well be against him and we have to see wheter Kevin Doyle will succumb to second seasonitis. Although saying that, if he is really that desparate to impress Stan, maybe he should have been saying this before the US tour

He plays in a position that we dont have to go searching in League 1 for. For probably the first time in Irish history we are inundated with forwards. Plus he is too fat for international football(he is actually fat, unlike Andy Reid)

I'd give him a chance though that said I've always had a soft spot for entertainers, the lad has some skill

You're right Carloz.. Andy's not fat.....just been squashed down (by very heavy hair gel )from his optimum height that matches his weight!

That excuse was used before. He's now a Championship player and has looked the part in the one game he's played for them.

He's always wanted to play for the ROI, that's a fact. If he'd wanted to play internationals for any team he'd have taken up Lawrie Sanchez's offer a few years back.

He has scored goals at every level he's played at and there's no reason to think he may not do the same in the Championship.

His age is not as big a factor as it seems as he has only been a pro for 5 years. So he has the legs of someone a few years younger, and has at least 3-4 more years at the top of his game, since he's never relied on his pace anyway.

His weight is just a nonsense argument. 18 months ago he was overweight. He dropped over a stone last pre-season and is now fully capable of lasting the pace in any kind of game.

And he's a legend.

So there you go five (plus one) reasons why you should pick Lee.

Worth a chance in a friendly i reckon. If Caleb Folan is, who i also thin k is worth a shot btw.

would u pick him for wales....he is eligible

Care to address any of the points I made as to why he should be picked?
