cheers for that, well at least if he is as good as these scouts think, then hopefully a lot of them saw him on a once off bad day, and turns them off of him and if he is any good, then maybe its just us still interested
Apparently on his way to Sunderland and has just declared for the Republic, having played for Norn Iron at youth level. Maybe we have missed out, but he seemed to be linked with quite a few of the mid-tier Premiership clubs. We've done some impressive business this summer and seem to have picked up just about everyone we wanted, so we can't complain. Hope he does well for himself.
Just scored for Sunderland and helping my accy in the process!!
From what I've seen of Sunderland games on TV, he's thriving under O'Neill and enjoying himself. A little naive a few times and needs to pick a better choice of pass now & then, but has made the step up look pretty easy!
from the first time I saw him play for Sunderland I said to Mrs Large to keep an eye on this lad. Didn't realise till reading this that we were interested. He looks to have everything to me, going to be some player.
Have told my Donegal mate that he needs to sharpen up his scouting skills and get us in there earlier in future!! ;-)
Tbf, McClean's adapted brilliantly. Hopefully, our extended scouting network will be able to pick us up a few like him as we step up as well next season.

The problem is not seeing the wood for the trees, it's seeing the onions from vegetable counter.

That's gonna go down as a pretty surreal response to everyone else on here!! ;-)
I think there's a bit of background to this with the British army killing civilians where he grew up. He's still a little c*nt tho. Doesn't like the queen unless it's her head on a pound note.
Really pissed off with the way he acts. Truth is he is actually born and raised in Northern Ireland (therefore British, no matter how Irish he thinks he is).
Equally infuriating are the lefty Guardianistas on social media trying to defend him.
It's OK guys. I've set a reminder to post some manufactured outrage on this thread in November when he unexpectedly chooses not to wear a poppy for the fourth year in a row.
Crack on, I've had endless messages from people on Twitter trying to defend him all day Curb It - but I just can't get on side with it.
When your dads from Belfast and a catholic but at the same time four brothers were in the RUC. I think I know a little bit more than you.
Crack on tho.
So you own the Northern Ireland conflict then...
Anyway, I'd prefer he didn't turn his back on the national anthem of the nation in which he makes his living - he wasn't forced to cross the Irish Sea after all, however I'm damn proud to live in a country that affords him the right to.

Said a couple if weeks ago this feels will end up at Man Utd. Reminds me of Milner but won't be overhyped be size of his lack of Englishmess.
Quality player.

Oops...........Hindsight is such a wonderful thing!

The guy doesn't want to join in, I respect that that's his view (whether I agree or not) and let him get on with it.
It's not like he's burning poppies or deliberately being inflammatory. Why should I care?
Edit - fifth

Prick.
But I know a fair bit.
Get over yourselves you loyalists.
