Shay Given on free from villa

A genuine thanks for having to state the obvious Gullscorer - it's a pity that some people can't see the wood from the trees here!

As long as Trappatonni is Manager He does'nt hold ANY chance (at least for the next two years). The guy does'nt even go on scouting missions - it's all VHS material! Plays a 442 formation - back to front and bypasses the mid's (ala Jack Charlton). Maybe when Chris Houghton becomes manager He'll get his chance.

Not one for being political but there should be a united Ireland team and not the North, South divide here. The North could actually have a decent squad if players committed to their cause rather than the Republic's. Take a leaf out of the Rugby game and football could learn a hell of alot!

Do Jarvis and Howe really offer Ling a 442 option. Whose got the pace to run the channels and feed the main target - whoever that may be. Certainly worth a 1yr contract but would definitely be looking for an alternative to Atieno.
