Xano.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
If, God forbid, we lost Robbie Keane I'd love to see Reid in a free role behind Doyle. Would be something similar to the role he enjoyed with Bent at Charlton.... Wouldn't be too enamoured with Reid behind Keane as a lone forward though..Originally Posted by Stuttgart88
Serbia.
That said, I'd also like to see Clinton Morrison back in the squad, simply because he'd give us a different option.
Point taken, though I'm sure you can see where I'm coming from. Serbia home friendly or Paris away play-off ?
I like Keogh but don't think he gets enough goals at club level - though he mucked in with some crucial ones at the end of last season for Wolves.
Clinton is a goalscorer.
he also creates space brilliantly. runs off robbie very well.
big fan.
Think he's hit the bar three times this season in the premiership also.. Unlucky in that respect...
or ngaged in a dastardly gambling ring that requires incredible accuracy. :P
Clinton did play well with Robbie when selected and never let Ireland down and as I understand it he is an upbeat personality in the squad which goes down well with Trap.
Joe Lapira makes shock return.
Quoting years at random since 1975
Is Clinton playing well this season or are people just remembering some selected memories from yonder years with fondness?
He certainly started the season off well, although I'm not sure he has kept the form up.

Birmingham apparently interested
COVENTRY City are planning to sell hot-shot striker Leon Best in January with Birmingham City FC leading the race, claims online speculation.
Mirror Football reports that the Sky Blues will cash in on the in-form frontman in the winter transfer window rather than allow him to leave on a free next summer.
It is believed that Premier League Birmingham are closely monitoring the 23-year-old Republic of Ireland international, who has snubbed several offers to renegotiate his contract at the Ricoh.

Comes down to the extra away goal and better discipline.comparison of Clinton Morrison and Leon Best's season up until last monday:
Leon edges ahead.
It will be Keogh. And like Miller and a few other B-side members at this moment in time he is just not good enough. Great attitude but he lacks the quality to score goals in games that matter. Morrison has done it at the highest level and scored some crucial goals for us. His form has been good early season and he deserves a look in but he won't get it I'm afraid. Morrison has the attitude and belief in himself that could well work in these play offs.
When I was at Coventry a few weeks back Alex McLeish was a couple of rows behind me with a colleague. Best did really well that night.
best and morrison both championship players....beyond keane and doyle we have limited resources...think folan is easily our best option beyond these two,thought shane long did ok when reading were in the premiership,seems his career gone in reverse a little
Scored a good goal today early in the match against Derby, but beyond that wasn't up to much as Derby controlled the game after that point (didn't really get much service).
Took it off his chest before hitting it on the half-volley with the outside of his foot into the corner.
