Villa still seem to be chasing Shorey... so by the time Stephen gets fit he could be third in line...
How about this for a scenario though. Villa get Shorey ahead of Sunderland (I think they are probably ahead of Sunderland if they match the money)... Sunderland sign O'Halloran (they can wait for him to recover as they have a reasonable player at left back already)... Higginbotham stays at Sunderland (like he wants to)... and O'Halloran fights his way past him once he's fit.
Nice to see you've decided to stop being abusive. What is means is that every single Irish player in England has been linked with Sunderland in the last 2 years and it's getting a bit tiresome at this stage. And some people here are letting the fact that he's from Cobh get in the way of judgement of his footballing ability. He's not good enough at this time to be playing premiership football. Maybe he will in a few years, but at the moment he's not.

Now that Villa have signed Shorey from Reading Stephen is not going to get a chance at Villa, especially after Bouma comes back from injury.
This also means that Stephen Hunt is going to be shifted to left back for Reading for at least half the season!
going on limited viewing here but saw him v. england earlier this year and promising is the word i'd use, more than enough on display in that game to suggest he can mature and perform more consistently. and that implies that he did have a few errors in that game i saw but his all 'round play was quite good and progressive.
zombie/thread killer..
He was a real highlight of Stan's US tour.
Anyone think Delaney will keep the LB spot for Norway and the early qualifiers?
You may be right , but why would we play someone not good enough to get near a poor premiership teams starting line up.... & when he did so he proved to be a disaster!
The concern for O'Halloran is that young players with ability seem to be given a chance at Villa.
O'Halloran turned out for Villa reserves against Chelsea reserves earlier this month

With any luck we might see him for the first team before Christmas
He may well get his chance.... Barry was cribbing about playing Left Back for Villa there recently..
He is 21 on Nov 29 the day they play Fulham, ah go on Martin give him a chance!
