Irish Player Transfers 2019/20/21 Season

Just to add to the above. 

Omabamidele could be competing with Kelleher as the most high profile move. Think he will be sold as Norwich’s sellable asset. 

Travers hopefully gets out.

Bazunu every chance he might be snapped up. 

Doherty hopefully but if he wants to stay at Atletico for money as cover fair enough. 

O’Shea and Lenihan possibly at the stage they might get snapped up by one of the promoted teams? 

McNally is going to be very interesting. 

Moran is the player I’m most intrigued by. If he was to get a Championship loan Blackburn would be ideal play good football which he would need. European football for Brighton means he will be needed most likely.

More left field both Jake O’Brien and Garcia McNulty have both gone under the radar but off the back of successful loans in Belgian/Dutch 2nd divisions should kick on to top level football strong chance the latter will introduced to the Wolfsburg team.

Yeah, lots of movement expected this summer.

Doherty is a free agent. Turns 32 next season, hard to see him get a move to a Top Half club.

Coleman out of contract.

Duffy free agent.

Brady free agent.

Hendrick has 1 year left at NU, expect another Championship loan.

McClean out of contract. At 34 I can't see a Championship team picking him up.

Stevens is out of contract at SU.

Ogbene out of contract, Swansea & Boro previously interested.

Manning out of contract.

McGrath will hopefully get out of Wigan, has a year on his contract.

Kelleher will move.

Travers, Championship loan. Won the Golden gloves last time, so he'd have plenty options.

McNally will want to be playing, will be interesting to see how high he can go.

Connolly has a year left at Brighton, should go to Hull for the full season.

Parrott, another Championship loan, somewhere like Swansea.

Cannon, would like to see him playing every week rather than sitting on the bench at Everton.

Smallbone heading back to Southampton after a good first full season, hopefully he's 1st choice.

Coventry will likely be sold, can see a mid-table Championship club picking him up.

Azaz, Championship loan.

Knight needs to get out of Derby, hopefull to a top-half Championship (or equivalent) side.

Omobamidele likely sold to fund Norwich's rebuild.

Hodge, loan.

Phillips, Championship loan.

Furlong, I think he's out of contract at Brighton.

Oko-Flex, loan.

Adaramola, loan.

Noss, Johansson & Flynn need to get out and play senior football (all 22 this year).

Bagan needs a loan.

Lawal, loan.

Henry-Francis, loan.

On Travers he proved himself the best keeper in the Championship last year. Unfortunately for him he has lost out to the more experienced Neto as first choice in the Premier League. 

That doesn’t mean he wouldn’t be good enough for a League in between the PL and Championship in terms of quality if he wanted to push for a move into Europe. 

One thing with Irish players is they are too happy to just settle for eternal Championship football despite proving somewhat superior to it if they can’t quite bridge the gap to PL initially and they end up stalling/stagnating. Travers fits the bill perfectly as the type of player in between both at the moment. 

In fact, John Nice's post stands out by illustrating the limited number of Irish players who are involved in the promotions and the play off pictures in the lower divisions. Far too many of our squad are just inhabiting the mid table positions at clubs like Preston, WBA, Norwich, and Stoke. In the lower divisions, there is quite an Irish contingent at Derby. Now that's not to say that there cant be a solid team fashioned out of those players, and incorporating those that are in the PL, or have been promoted. But I think it is just suggestive of the fact that it has been a very underwhelming season for the bulk of Irish players in England, and that the number of really progressive moves this summer could be rather limited. 

Off the top of my head Manning, Molumby were POTY...Armstrong YPOTY. O Shea was having a good season before injury. Cannon & Smallbone have done well. Vaughan breaking through at Hull. Sykes a decent season. McGuiness one od Cardiffs betters players after being a standout at Sheff Wed & Omabomadele captained Norwich. McNamara & Smodzics had decent seasons as well. Not too bad.

More underwhelming. Players have undoubtedly had their moments, but generally have not been involved in the shake up, further up the league. I suppose if we are drawing heavily from the championship, I'd like to see more that just a handful of players amongst the personal and team awards.

I do think in general it will be progress rather then regressive. We definitely saw that last summer and you see the Ireland squads no League 1 players in them and even the French game you actually had a few half decent options off the bench in attack. Also a lot of the players at Top 6/8 Championship clubs are younger players which bodes well.

Back to your original point Travers fits that bill and O’Shea is another type of player if he can’t get the PL move and West Brom don’t go up themselves in the next year or two he ought to show some ambition and source a move into top flight football in Europe as opposed to pissing about down the Championship forever. 

I'd say Cannon has a fair chance of being kept at Everton next season regardless of the division. They need a back up to Calvert-Lewin and Cannon's style of play is reasonably similar. If they go down, its highly unlikely Calvert-Lewin stays there and Cannon then comes in to the reckoning as a starter for them. He just has to be careful that he doesnt end up in a situation where he doesnt get enough first team minutes there.

He is nearly a year younger than Parrott though, he doesnt turn 21 until the end of December, so he has plenty of time on his side.
