Couldn't get anywhere near the Celtic team, started off appearing regularly at Hibs but became a bit-part player when Fenlon took over. He certainly didn't set the world alight in a very average SPL. He does seemed to have developed his playing style a lot since those days admittedly, he was a right-back/orthodox midfielder then, whereas now he's very much an attack-minded player. |

Towell is not moving for the sake of it - he turned Blackpool down and won't do trials. If a move worth taking comes along he will take it. If not he will stay.
As for what he can add to the Irish setup, we are so light in the position calling him up to train seems a no brainer. |

I wonder why it didn't work out for him at Cardiff

That's why he did a trial at Cardiff last year I suppose? If he's now decided to refuse trials that's an utterly pigheaded and counterproductive attitude. He isn't Zlatan, if he wants a move to a Championship team he's going to have to prove to them he's worth their time, and part of that process will often be training with them beforehand to see if he can handle the higher quality of player around him. |

As Richie has said himself, he's played plenty of matches this year so if clubs want to see him play they've had plenty of chances.

Not pig headed at all. Has played enough for any prospective club to see what he has to offer. He is possibly the leagues top player. If he went on trial then there are many downsides, including if the manager didn't fancy him it'd give other clubs a negative vibe, also the club would hold all the cards from a negotiation stand point. |

Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get me...

This may surprise you, but being the top player in the LOI isn't going to be enough to impress most managers. Trials are a normal and sensible part of making your way up the footballing ladder, to categorically reject the idea of going on trial not only sends out a bad message about your attitude, it damages your career prospects too. He might think he's making some sort of stand, but the only person's chances that he's hurting are his own. The last team I saw to be linked with Towell's services were the mighty Bristol Rovers. If he wants to do better than that, I'd humbly suggest that making himself available to go on trials might actually benefit him in the long run.

pretty sure he said he will do trials for champ/epl teams and not for league 1/2 teams

Would be a shame to see Towell dry out in the LOI

Just reading his interview today in the indo.
It seems he's more than happy to stay with Dundalk. "We're going to enjoy tonight and another couple of days and then we'll probably - hopefully-sort something out" Regarding the long LOI off season - "It's a very frustrating time for any League of Ireland player but it's something I'm going to have to get used to if I'm going to stay" "A lot of people think the lifestyle over there (UK) is better than what it is, and its a bit of a myth. You can go over there and be unhappy and it's not what it's made out to be." I wouldn't be surprised if there a 2k+ deal with a healthy goal bonus on the table. Fyffes are already heavily subsidising his wages so an extra few hundred a week from them plus Dundalk will have made close to a million euro from Europe over the past 2 seasons. |

Has been the standout player in the league for me over the past few years. I'd be surprised if he didn't end up having a decent career at championship level in England and going on to play for the national team eventually, but at the moment I'm not sure if I'd have him in the squad.
Probably deserves an opportunity to be in the squad for a friendly but it will be a massive step up from LoI to international football, would probably need to see him playing at a higher level more regularly before he's seriously worthy of a place in the squad.

He is more worthy of a squad place than paul green.

Towell has turned down clubs in England only last year, he's not gonna go for the sake of it! As a pats fan I hope he gets a move that's right for him this winter and stops terrorising the rest of us

Listened to him on off the ball there and I can totally get why he is content at Dundalk and not willing to go on trials to clubs at the lower end of the English league.
He's in the process of buying a gaf and his missus is pregnant so it wouldn't be so appealing going over on trial to lower level clubs like he is some young lad starting out. If something decent is put in front of him then I am sure he will look at it but otherwise it seems he's rolling ahead with plans to remain at Dundalk. Also I think he should definitely be named in the larger Irish squad. there probably should always be a token player from the league included in the squad but I think Towell has done enough to join up with the squad on merit and at least train with them.
