I just don't get how someone like Hourihane at his age would move to a team where he doesn't have at least some guarantees. Why did Sheffield Utd even buy him?!  A basic scouting mission would tell you all he need to know.

Should chance his arm in the MLS if a good offer was on the table. In the championship he'll need a team built around him to do the work he won't off the ball.

Actually I think they'll end the loan in January, he's not been good at all there, I had a bit of a listen to the Sheff United Way watchalong the last match and heard the line "...and Hourihane has passed the ball to literally nobody..." A move to a slower, less physical league would suit him.

I don't put much stock on what people who already carry preconceived ideas about a player have to say.

Not too concerned at his lack of game time. With Cullen first choice, Hendrick seems to have turned a corner and I have a feeling Howe might fancy utilising him, Molumby getting game time, Gavin Kilkenny making the breakthrough and Alan Browne offering an option in there we look ok in Central midfield at the moment. 

Picked up a knock in training.

Browne, Knight and McGrath also failing to reach the heights of previous seasons. Just goes to show it's not just our strikers flattering to deceive. Hogan and Robinson are just about scoring what they usually average. And that's as good as it gets. You have to go down to League One level to find anything to crow about. Keane's having his best season. Scully, Sykes and Harness are making waves. And in League Two, Drinan's having a breakthrough season.
