You have seen the most of him, is he good enough for a call up to the squad? I have been impressed when I have watched him but thought he was just a bit off it. I certainly wouldn't be writing him off as readily as others have done.

Very talented but tends to drift in and out of games especially when playing out on the right, wouldn't provide the same defensive cover as horgan did on the left , just needs a bit more consistency, look at his two games against BATE, killed us in the first game and tore them apart in the second.

Would like to see him more central now that Finn is gone, but think he will end up out wide for the most part

He plays in a different position than Horgan did, shouldn't make any difference if Horgans there or not


Well Horgan and Towel didn't play in the same position either but you could argue Towell leaving was the making of Horgan because he stepped up to the plate

Agree totally, complete disregard for the league or the player or both. Ridiculous

He's entitled to play for whatever side he likes and his decision should be respected.

I'm not suggesting cynically trying to tie the lad down.  I'm saying get him involved, show him that if he continues to improve he will get chances with the national team.

Just as Boyle and Horgan have recently done, and Horgan will probably continue to do if he continues at his current rate. 

If the lad doesn't have the potential to make it with us, then grand, take his chances with NI.  But otherwise we should be looking to keep him on-board.  As Daniel McDonnell points out in the Indo this week, our first 11 is full of so-called "late bloomers" e.g.: Arter, Walters, Coleman, McClean, Ward.
