I seen that earlier

Redmond was always at a push, as I said.

Bamford should be our priority, before he starts banging goals in for fun again. Scott Hogan and himself would be fantastic additions for Russia replacing Doyle, Murphy etc although I'd say Mason is more suited to the hoof it up approach Murphy gives us.

Let's hope that goal machine Ronan Hale breaks through at Birmingham next season. Eoghan Stokes at Leeds too!

interesting tweet from him here too https://twitter.com/scotthogan92/status/426396187651235840

We have to face a reality here. Bamford/Hogan don't currently feel Irish, it goes without saying.. Clinton Morrison didn't either until he arrived and seen the place, experienced what it means to wear a green jersey and how much it means to people like us.

Cyrus Christie had never been in Dublin until last year, couldn't pronounce Clontarf fs I bet he loves every moment of it now. Ideally we produce lads in Ireland and then we get the likes of O'Dowda and Walters/Keogh/Kilbane who are Irish despite their accent, but we also need guys who well aren't Irish but they embrace our culture and learn to love it and come the day they retire from a green jersey it's the best moments of their career.

Look how we got McGoldrick, he'd never even met his birth mother never mind her parents. But he wears the Green and he's done well when asked.. our strike force is aging and come Russia we do need reinforcements.

Completely agree. I'm just saying, if I was English and my maternal gran was Irish, I still wouldn't feel Irish one bit I'd imagine. But say if both my parents were Irish or at least one of them I think you'd have a better sense of Irishness. It's obviously hard for players with just one Irish grandparent to feel Irish you know, goes without saying...

Exactly it's different if one of your parents is Irish you Defiently get a feel for the culture through playing GAA, music and watching nights like we experienced v Italy this week. Unless you're close to your grandparent it's different, the best we can hope for is players initially see it as a career move and hopefully along the way fall in love with it and are proud to call themselves Irish. I seen Clinton Morrison referring to himself as Irish after Mick convinced him, the list goes on..you'd be amazed how many fellas/women with deep London accents or anywhere else for that matter call themselves Irish, it's truly astonishing.

That's not confirmation of anything really.....Ciaran Clarke played for England at an u20's Championship I bet he celebrated their wins in the same fashion there......I'd wager alot of the England players were watching and cheered on Ireland's goal against Italy......none of it mean anything

100% Crowley would be a fantastic one. He's aware of his irish routes that's for sure, there's a picture of himself and his younger brother with the brother wearing an Ireland top.

Bamford does seem an intelligent fella alright, he'd be my main target right now.. We've a number of midfielders we're crying out for strikers. Bamford and Hogan would be nice options to have.
