Shamrock Rovers left back/left sided midfielder linked with Barnsley,Southampton and our lovely neighbours Sheff.Utd
Don't know if there's owt in it. Just been chatting to my lad. He's heard we could be interested in attacking midfielder Stuart Dallas who was a team mate of Alex Mowatt. Certainly fits the profile. He's 26 and has experience of International football with Northern Ireland.
Clarke, btw, is 19 and a left-winger. Seems highly rated Players from League of Ireland have been targets for English clubs recently; the quality of the league seems to have vastly improved. Dundalk got to the group stages of the Europa League last season and Preston signed two players from them who have done well
A good mate of mine supports Leeds and he says Dallas isn't really in the picture with them, so they might be open to selling him, can play either wing so would be a nice versatile winger
Would be a fair replacement for Marley Watkins. Wide player, but can play striker. Need to get him for a reasonable price. What did Leeds pay Brentford?
£1.6m Leeds paid (according to transfer market). Can't imagine his wages would be low & would command a fairly (for our budget) high fee. Not saying we won't, but doesn't seem to fit the mould of our recruitment. The first lad mentioned sounds more like a target.
Only 19 years old and seems to have played just three first team games, but has scored in each of them. Hmmm! Not sure! Don't know enough about him, but we will have scouted him and I trust the scouting team, so .... maybe
