New players for the Euro 2012 campaign

Jayob10

What new players do ye reckon will feature in the senior set up for the new campaign?

I reckon Conor Clifford could be a player is comes through pretty quickly.

Also with the changing of the fifa ruling regarding eligibility we could see a raft of players with Irish grandparents featuring. I reckon we could see Kyle Naughton of Tottenham in the green shirt. Not so sure about Jamie O'Hara.

what rule was changed? couldnt people with irish grandparents always play?

Too early for Conor Clifford. Only pick Irish players imo. Stick with what we have and bring in Fahey, Reid, Reid, Nolan, Morrison and give a few players a run in friendlys and training camps who are on the fringes of clubs in EPL and Championship. eg Scanell and Garvan and the likes.

Ehh ?? ? WTF !!! can I at least get over my hangover from the world cup campaign before we start discussing the team for 2012.

I think in the past there was a deadline for players who featured in competitive games at u-21 level for another country to declare for another country. When the deadline passed these players could not play for this other country.

From January 2010 players who played for other countries competitvely up to under 21 level, can now declare for Ireland.

There has been talk in the papers that Trap has been getting people to look into all high level players that could be eligible to play for Ireland, so it is quite likely that we will at least try to get the likes of O'Hara or Naughton to declare for us.

There is James McCarthy, the Scottish wonderkid who declared for us, signed for Wigan in the summer. Would love to see us bring in someone young and make them the next Duff or Keane - 50 caps before their mid-20s...

Chris Mc Cann, Keith Fahey, Paddy Madden, Wes Hoolihan, and Liam Lawrence to play a bigger role thought he was exceptional last night.

Looking forward to seeing him play. He was outstanding in Scotland, and hoping he'll get a run of games for Wigan soon

we certainly need some new players in the squad/first team.

We need a new LB, a new CM and a new striker at least.

Kilbane isn't good enough at LB (though he did very well last night), we need a better option than Whelan, Andrews or Gibson in the centre, and we need someone to push Keane and Doyle - Best, Folan and Long are not good enough.

Not sure who we could use at LB, but Stephen Reid and Andy Reid should be brought back into the set up (Stephen will be, obviously). Up front, again we lack. Stokes hasn't fulfilled his potential. I do think Morrison deserves a look. Not sure who else we could call up.
