With O'Shea out injured until the end of May, he might not be fit enough for the June matches so  Omobamidele could easily be starting if he is playing regularly and well for Norwich. Good to also hear he was captain today, the more leaders in the Ireland squad the better.   Just typical that Norwich couldn’t go and win it. Pukki by all accounts didn’t cover himself in glory. Positive he kept a clean sheet Do wonder will he get a transfer in the summer. Would be interested to see would the model men clubs or the data analysts merchants like Brentford Brighton or Burnley be interested in him.  As for O’Shea it’s very disappointing and putting him on the pitch in the 2nd half of the French game was a bit unecessary if it’s true he came out with his knee/leg strapped to the nines.  I think they might alright. Could probably be bought for well under £10m at this point and his longer term value could end up being multiples of that.

When he was at Stoke with Collins it would never have been expected that he'd go for the higher fee of the two. Omobamidele doesn't have anything like the profile of Souttar, so wouldn't fetch the same fee, but at the same time that's part of what might make him attractive to a moneyball club like Brentford or a newly promoted team like Burnley or Sheffield United. I wouldn't be surprised if £7m or £8m was enough to get him.

Record for an Irish international unless you count Grealish to Man.City. £100m? Though Rice will probably beat that in the summer.

Would Wolves buy Collins at that price now? I've seen very little of him this year but the impression I'm left with from all I read about him is that he hasn't (yet) lived up to what was hoped of him.

Collins I think is a bit like John Stones,   when he was younger, good on the ball and all the attributes to be a great player but takes risks playing out and sometimes pays heavy price when they don’t pay off, think he needs experienced partner to guide him through and know when to play and when to launch it to row z. At Stoke he played mostly right back or right centre back in a 3. Only since February when he broke into Burnley team last year and first half of this season has he played consistently in a back 4 in centre. Hopefully while he is out of side at Wolves he is being well coached and feedback on what manager wants him to improve on and hits form when he next gets back in.

AC Milan?  Was that the same reporter who 20 years ago said Inter were in for Gary Breen?

AC Milan  same agent as Jeff Hendrick?
