Cox is at his level now. He is capable of flashes of brilliance, but has never been more than an English third tier striker and is back doing alright at that level. I agree on Hogan, but he is certainly a decent Championship striker and has the potential to improve. It is dependent on his fitness though.

All of those quotes sound identical to what Jack Grealish was saying before he switched allegiance - "I just want to concentrate on club football / getting fit" etc, in other words hedging the bets. Could you imagine Hogan making comments like that if he knew he was on England's radar?

Scott Hogan dismisses claims he was waiting for England:
Speaking to The Times, Hogan said: "When I first met Martin O’Neill I explained to him that I had had two years out with injuries and I said to him 'just let me get back playing, let me get a full season under my belt’. That is how it has panned out." "Then we got in touch with him. There was no issue with me saying I am waiting for this or I am going to do this. It was always that case and the manager knew that and was fine with it." https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2017/0820/898689-scott-hogan-dismisses-claims-he-was-waiting-for-england/ |

unbelievable...cuz he says he was commited thats it?..actually i will form my own opinion based on his lack of communication the fact that he was banging in the goals for his club and looking fit and sharp.. him never actuall coming out and saying he is commited to Ireland and his timing..i mean he has had injury problems since joining vill

Agree. Hogan's lack of communication with ybig fusspots over the last couple of years was poor form. Edited by irishmufc - 20 Aug 2017 at 8:59pm |

O'Neill has played it very and deserves a lot of credit. Kilbane like ourselves is judging a situation from the outside looking in and it's looking like he was wrong in the end.
Being honest I thought it was very unlikely he'd declare but it's done so it can only be a good thing. With Maguire looking sharp for Preston yesterday, our forward attacking threats (2 players under 25) things are looking a lot better over the next few years in our weakest area. |

They always come out with this stuff once they've given in and resigned themself to a career in green instead of white. Its a case of preaching to the audience and I wouldn't take any of it at face value, he's nothing to gain by stating he was holding out for an england call-up so of course he wouldn't admit it but the whole I was just waiting for the right moment line of argument is simply not believable.
If he'd been planning to get involved with us this season all along then why exactly hadn't he even gone to the trouble of getting an Irish passport all this time we've been chasing him? Its not like the FAI doesn't employ people to expedite these things for feckless grannyrulers. Hogan's hit a career rut this year and his prospects of an England call up are disappearing off the horizon so what do you know, suddenly he is embracing his irish heritage.......and still there's masses of ireland fans who stick their heads in the ground and refuse to see the obvious because its more comforting for them to swallow what's being shovelled at them

The fact is none of know Hogan personally so it's all speculation.
Does it really matter if he did think about playing for England? Let's see his attitude when playing for Ireland, that's all that matters. |

Very well said The fact he is only now applying for an Irish Passport says it all. Killer is 100% right, very hard to support a lad like this. |

If he scores against Wales will people still be rambling on here about his passport?

It will be easy to support him if he is committed to the cause.
We will be able to see that through him turning up and putting in committed performances. Our squad would have been be full of players through the years were England was their first choice but the opportunity never came and then the Ireland one did. Hogan was similar only he had a mooted chance for England. Whether or not his reasons for not declaring before are 100% genuine, at the end of the day he has now declared and if he shows the same level as commitment that some of our other greats that chose Ireland as a second choice then that is really all need to accept and hopefully it pays dividends to all parties Edited by t_rAndy - 21 Aug 2017 at 9:19am |
