Have you ever seen him play live?? Did you ever see him with Rochdale, Shamrock Rovers or travelled to the Derry to watch him? Couldn't cut it? Too good for us at Rochdale, a pity a few managers didnt have the balls to play him. When a team is struggling to survive in the league at our level manager's don't tend to play the talents but themselves and their experienced mates. A completely differerent ball game playing for a team that will give him possession ie Celtic.
Others who are interested in can have a read at our site ( can't post links yet!) clubfanzine/rochdale/forum. It'll give a perspective into his time at the Dale. You'll find that Paddy was adored by our fans. Quite simply the most talented player we've ever had. Good enough? Easily. He'll have you on your feet when he gets the ball. He seems to have got a renewed appetitie for the game playing for Derry his home team. I don't think playing with a team who will have all the possession in games will hinder Paddy, it'll more like give him the freedom to do what he does. At least his talent should be able to shine at Celtic rather than at West Brom where he would be in a team struggling for possession.
Anyhow, with Paddy being a Bhoy, I'm off to enjoy a subscription to Setanta and maybe I'll take my little un up to taste the great atmosphere at Paradise.
Good luck with 4 in a row
