Alan Judge - The Irish Messi - You Boys in Green Forum

Any update on his broken arm? I assume he has left the squad.

That's it. I campaign for not calling up players in League one. I prefer players from the MLS the a-league and the league of Ireland before them.

I said that Chris Mccann. Cillian Sheridan, Tommy Mcnamara and Andy Keogh or Roy O'Donovan instead of them even Anthony Stokes who constantly is being attacked by most posters. We can't play league one or league 2 players.

Judge had to take what was offered. There was no guarantee another Championship club were going to come in for him and certainly not with a deal of similar length.

I am also sure that Ipswich expect to be challenging for promotion next year, but I wouldn't be so sure about that.

He would be an idiot not to take it.

Wouldn't be overly concerned with this. Sure McGeady is in League One and some are still calling for his inclusion.

At 31 he's not going to improve, so it's no big deal that he's dropping down a division.

I think the main thing is that he's playing week in week out and if he can become a half decent option for Ireland so be it.

Turns 31 this year, and will be playing in the third tier for the foreseeable future. Probably time to forget about this guy and focus on the likes of Crowley and Byrne.

Has signed a two-year contract at League One-bound Ipswich.

Can't say I've seen him play for Ipswich but reports I've read have been glowing. Set up Will Keane at the weekend for the equalizer and prior to that journos were commenting on his remarkable energy levels in his games to date for the tractor boys.

Havin watched him play regularly for Brentford I really can't wait to see him line out under Mick.

“I was impressed again with Alan Judge as well. Alan was very unfortunate with the injury he picked up when playing at Ipswich with Brentford and I am delighted to see him back to his best.”

I'm out of practice at judging Mick's international mind but that quote, the possibility of lip service aside, has to be promising for the lad anyway.

he went to watch Ipswich play Derby last week. I'm assuming that is the game he is referring to in the quote.
