Let’s blood a team of young lads who’ll have decent experience at this level at age 25 and can actually contest a major championship in a few years. I am sick of hearing fellas talking about the likes of Westwood and Shane Long. Their time has come and gone. Shane Long cannot score a goal for us, hasn’t done in years.He’s the striker who doesn’t score goals.Sure, he’ll hold it up, he’s world class at pressing the full-back, but he cannot score! He’s exactly what the team that doesn’t score goals doesn’t need.Westwood was beyond brutal for us when he was in his prime.He’s a second-rate keeper, always was, he never had any business playing international football.We’re now blessed to have about three really promising young goalkeepers coming through. Kelleher, who looks the best of them right now, has had an utterly incredible start to his career, He’s been instrumental in keeping clean sheets for one of the best teams in Europe. He’s clearly, one of the best overall prospects we’ve produced in twenty years. Get these young lads in (in every position), they’re hungry, technically better than what we’ve got, and they seem to play without fear, which has been our Achilles heel for years now. The team’s already laden down with deadwood, Hourihane, Maguire, Hogan, why bring more in?
