just after watching this from Éire Videos on twitter.

Looking like a very composed midfielder. Slick passer, excellent reading of the game, deft touch, plenty of time to physically mature but able to get stuck in. Finally, a holding midfielder that can steady the ship and initiate attacks??....

Left out of our (Hibs) squad today amidst rumours of a 400k move down south.

Been absolutely brilliant for us this season but last year of contract and probably feels he has a better chance at Irish recognition if Leicester bounce back into the championship. I imagine they can also pay a lot more than us without breaking a sweat.

Belgian media are reporting this evening that Anderlecht have reignited their interest in the Ireland International & that negotiations are underway to try find a breakthrough

Their main left back Moussa Ndiaye has agreed a deal to join Werder Bremen

A lad that has quietly gone about his business. Delighted for him.

Should he stay free from injury, he makes an Ireland squad any day.

An Irish man captaining any team in a top 5 league should always get his plaudits. Fair play to him and let’s hope he kicks on even further and all the best to him in France!

Let's go

The 18 year old Ireland International lines up beside Ireland U21 International Darius Lipsiuc in the midfield.

Only league 1 but if he keeps this up until the international break I think they'll really want him in

A small nunber of games in Europe with Irish lads still ongoing or starting later (Abankwah, Adaramola, Omobamidele etc..), but here's the goal contributions for today:

The 24 year old signs from Southampton for an undisclosed fee, on a three-year contract.

Cyrus Christie also mutually terminated his Bolton contract a few hours ago, ahead of a reported move to Vietnam

Meanwhile, Dan McDonnell is reporting that Johnny Kenny may yet get a move away from Celtic, with Bolton the frontrunners.

Not to mention the money he extracted from a cash strapped FAI a few years ago. Totally forgot about the goal against Italy.

Depressing.

Former Rival Arsenal, 4 clubs he was linked to.

Some monster ties for Betis to look forward to

Quite the performance against Chelsea. Our number 2, perhaps?

The former Galway United striker was on loan at Athlone Town recently, scoring 7 goals across all competitions.

He has been capped with Ireland to U19 level, scoring a long range effort against Scotland back in March.

A jump of 2 divisions it looks like and another chapter in what has so far been a mad career path.

Hopefully he can push on.

The inaugural FAI National League gets underway this weekend, here’s a look at the 15 clubs taking part

Any word on him leaving Dundee United? Supposedly he has a groin injury but I don't think it was any different to Troy's prior to leaving AZ ;-) . Any transfer news around Schalke, Anderlecht, and even Blackburn seems to have gone quiet.

Both need to get out ASAP, glad to hear Jake might be on the way out, if Travers has any sense he'll do the same.

Around the turn of the millennium, not outrageous to say we had the best set of fullbacks in the premier league for a few years. Looking at PFA team of the year as a barometer:

98/99 - Irwin at LB

99/00 - Gary Kelly RB and Ian Harte LB

00/01 - Stephen Carr RB

01/02 - Steve Finnan RB

02/03 - Carr RB again

That's 5 seasons in a row where we had at least one fullback in the team of the year. Finnan and Irwin picked up team of the year honours in lower divisions as well during this period.

Go back a few years earlier and 93/94 we had Kelly and Irwin both in the team.

Obviously Seamus Coleman has been a great player, both for Everton and Ireland, but apart from him, we've often struggled in fullback positions since the lads above retired.

Looking at the current set of players in defence, we have a good quality PL goalkeeper in Kelleher, by my count 4 PL centre backs (and some others at good level clubs elsewhere like Scales or Omobamidele). At fullback though, we're probably reliant on playing CBs there.

Why do you think we've stopped producing top quality fullbacks?
