| Mick looks to have identified him as someone who can do a job for us and seems to be pushing for this. I suppose we'll just have to trust his judgement on it. At worst he's another option. There's no obligation to pick him. |

Would prefer if it was someone like Redmond, Crowley, Wickham etc. Keane's career is heading towards League 1 level ------------- The only way is up |

Yep ....26 yrs old, career in dropping down levels now suddenly wants to play for Ireland this is where the granny rule fails .....could be said something similar about Bamford but in the very least he did represent Ireland at one point, this guy had no interest at Man Utd when his brother was at the time |

You can absolutely never have enough English journeyman championship level strikers in our squad.
Most meaningful part of the article is that Jack O'Connell does NOT qualify for us. A crushing blow for the 'players eligible' thread that has brought to light so many stars for us.

Why does this even matter? Keane declaring doesn't mean he has to picked, it simply means that if he does hit form he can be called up straight away. It's another option to choose from, nothing more, nothing less. ------------- We're decent enough.. |

To me, McGoldrick, Robinson and Long should really be the top three strikers given the form shown this term. At that point we should start factoring Obafemi, Hogan, Maguire, Keane, Walters in.

Hogan and Keane are as bad as each other, neither should be anywhere near International football at present. They've both had their injury struggles but they have to be playing and performing regularly to be even considered. I feel Walters is finished unfortunately, injuries and age have caught up with him the last 18 months.

Interested in Rice, Redmond and Bamford.............gets Will Keane Mick must think he's still at Ipswich piece in this mornings Star says he'll be in the March squad....'exciting' |

Jesus christ, another striker who can't score, and is forever injured. This is scraping the barrel stuff here from, Mick. Why bother? |

Because it's good to have options. tbh he'll probably start and score a hat trick against Gibraltar

The guy didn't want to play for Ireland before, he must have been approached at the time his brother was playing for us .......I think it's a disgrace his request is now being entertained let alone being fast tracked into a squad just looking at his wiki....over 30 England underage caps in the space of 4 year, in his 'pomp' as a Man Utd player (even then only 7 bloody goals).....did he want an Ireland cap then? all gone a bit Pete Tong, Will |

Shouldn't be in the March squad under any circumstances. If Michael Obafemi is back fit and has played for Southampton before the Gibraltar game then I'd love to see him get on for the final twenty minutes, he'd fancy his chances of scoring. Why potentially stunt the development of a promising 18-year-old striker who has already scored at Premier League level for the sake of a journey man who can't buy a goal, or fitness? Get our more promising youngsters in and around the match day squad and ready for bigger tests to come. |

I can't see him start in front of Shane Long, Jonathan Walters, Séanie Maguire, David McGoldrick, Aiden O'Brien, Scott Hogan, Ronan Curtis, Michael Obafemi and Graham Burke. Or Patrick Bamford if he joins us. Having said that, I think it's a decent move to tie down anyone that qualifies for us, regardless if they've currently going to make the squad or not. We're learning lessons from the Grealish and Rice affairs.

He’ll be in for the training camp in May, which makes sense I think. Honestly, I think they’ll look at him because he’s 6” 2’ and we don’t have any big men anymore. If he can do that job, great. Don’t think he adds much to us though.

Quote from the 42. "Mick McCarthy has revealed that Ipswich striker Will Keane will also be considered having sent assistant Terry Connor to watch him in league one" Is Mick McCarthy on drugs? You really have to question Micks ability to identify talent in a footballer. Surely... just Surely, Will Keane would be behind - Long Mcgoldrick Connolly Obafemi Parrott Idah Curtis |

Maybe Terry Connor is the one on drugs. I think an intern in the FAI writes that sh!te. Worse than your daily star sign reading.

Unbelievable. Feel for someone like Paddy Madden when Keane is getting mentioned like that. Would have these ahead of Keane: McGoldrick Maguire Long Obafemi Connolly Collins Hogan Idah Parrott Curtis O'Brien Madden Amond |

He's never going to play for us, his situation is no different to Padraig Amond, Paddy Madden, etc - guys who are available but incredibly unlikely to be used. I really don't see why anyone would get worked up over it. ------------- We're decent enough.. |

He played 33 times underage for England.
It could have been our revenge for Grealish if he wasn't just a big gormless lump.

Can we all put our names in the list? I’d say if most on this forum played professional football as long as Keane I’d say they would have at least as good a record as his.
