I know - NUMBER EIGHT Can't wait for August now and the tremendous ovation Conor gets when his name is announced.
It will be some cheer. Can’t wait to be part of it. Herbie who? Midfield 3 next year of Hourihane, Connell and Phillips sounds brilliant. I know Conor probably won’t be playing week in week out but let me have this just now.
Re Phillip's, I'd be prepared to try him up front. Alongside or just behind Cosgrove. We could then try Russell in the midfield 3. Both Conor and luka can operate forwardly or defensively.
Doug in the Cron saying Connor will be used when needed and be more of a coach. Need Benson and Russell firing from game one if possible..
Sadly we can't rely on Benson with his injury record. Still think we need to get Conor Grant signed ASAP. Offers something very different in the middle of the park - pace.
We need a proper direct forward running midfielder who can take it past the opposition. Otherwise we'll be long ball static and easy to play against.
