According to Chris Phillips on Twitter, the Irish striker hasn't gone to Spain with the squad, but we may still be interested in him.

 

[Ricey]

If we were interested surely we would have taken him to Spain to get a good look at him?

The two old Irish favorites Ben Doon and Phil McCavity .

I thought they were Scottish . . .

it may well be that he couldnt commit to it at such short notice?

Bring back Big Barry Conlon

That is not even remotely funny ......................:facepalm:

No passport? Or no sun tan cream? Too busy watching Wimbledon? :facepalm:



More likely he has other offers of trials whilst we are in Spain and didn't want to put all his potatoes in one basket ........... do you see what I did there?

Fair point, shame as it would be indication as to whether he would fit into the team. You can look at him on and off the pitch and see if he adds to the already great dressing room atmosphere.

After a very quick check, it could be Graham Burke. Former Aston Villa striker, recently released and was on loan at Notts County last season.

Interesting.. was highly rated a few years back. I'd be happy with a relatively young player such as Burke as part of our 3/4 forwards. Any idea how he done at Notts?

No serious, totally under rated, same time as Maher getting the boo boys on his back every game.

Typical support we get, if not scored 30 goals before Christmas it's a failure, strong on and off the ball, funny how others see different players

Stats wise, 1 goal and 2 assists in 7 games isn't great. Although he was played on the wing while there. Performance wise from Notts County fans suggest he did well and one of their better loanees.

One thing, to be sure, it won't be Val Doonican.

Is it not a case of the chicken and the egg here?

If a player was fabulous whilst playing at lower divisions he would move on up quickly a la Britt and be a valuable asset.

If a player is still a prospect/rough diamond/not quite there then there is a risk in signing that player but then he is probably all that we can afford and otherwise he would be looking at clubs higher up the pyramid system.

That's a shame as if the club ever had to play a imprompto game they would have had enough sweaters for goalposts

Well, that's what my momma told me, when I was about knee-high!
She said "Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye!"
How tall will this striker be?

A good look at his drinking capabilities?

 

[buffalowolf]

Well that would be a good thing, if he is smashing the booze then avoid like the plague.

Do we have any confirmation that this is the player in question?
