Fergie Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Seen this guy play a few times he’s the real deal, played really well in Europe for Dundalk recently against some top clubs. Reminds me of Jose Baxter but with a better attitude. Heard there was loads of clubs after him including a few championship clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nohairdontcare Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 The Irish Independent journalist who wrote the piece really knows his stuff - he's a Dundalk fan - so he'll know the ins and outs of the move. So yeah - looks like bye bye Byrne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does sound like a like for like replacement though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBosch Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Even if he's decent he'll be one for next season rather than this won't he given the time it'll take him to get fit enough for League One? I hope he's amazing but I'm struggling to get excited about us signing what is effectively a non league player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a fair point but I do wonder why this lad in full view of the Irish establishment has not had a call when the likes of Carl has and Byrne got a call when with Blackburn reserves as have Dummigan and Maclaughlin with Oldham and even the kid keeper at Leeds whom we rejected has......I know nothing about him but I see a contradiction between reports of his ability and his lack of representative recognition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiler13 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I think you will be very surprised as to how fit this guy is. 6ft tall, two footed but prefers left side of field. Can beat a man going forward with speed similar to Byrne in that respect, however he is a set piece expert and can bend a ball like Beckham. I would love to have this guy and Byrne playing for us.

Wrong yet again Mr Burns , don't try so hard.....MacEleney has played for both N Ireland and Republic of Ireland at Under 18. Having not been picked by the Republic he has had talks with Michael O Niell and has made himself available for N Ireland........so I have included reference to both N Ireland and Republic for both of whom he is eligible.

Quote McEleney was involved in a controversial incident in October 2010 when, 3 days after pulling out of the Republic of Ireland's Under 19 squad due to an ankle injury, he played and scored twice in a First Division fixture against Shelbourne. Plus... Quote Despite being contacted by Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill with a view to being called up to their senior squad, McEleney has indicated that his international future lies with the Republic of Ireland. Maybe he has talked himself out of being selected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
