    I live in belfast and can tell you now he is pish. The whole league is pish yea he scores a few goals but I also scored loadsa goals playing scoolboy football and irish league is sub standard. I live here and would not even go watch that league. What the hell are we at trying to sign an amateur footballer. I know people will say bout seamus coleman but hes different and the republic of ireland league a stronger league anyway. I mean donelly is so skinny and weak looking he would get mauled in prem league. Id understand maybe if he was 16 or so but hes near 20. Pointless buy

    The lad I believe is not good enough. That said, there are many fine pro's that came out of Ireland with little recomendation from the pundits here. Roy Keane being the most famous,he was told he would never make it and Coleman hardly set the League alight. When you take on lads from the Irish leagues you are taking a punt but I believe the money paid for them represents that. Bar Celtic and Rangers in the SPL there is very little difference in the quality betwen the Scottish and Irish leagues.
    Ireland has produced many a quality player but I feel that the days when Ireland will have a team made up of at least four players from the top four teams of the English League are gone. Ireland because of its population is suffering but so too is England because it no longer has true quality in depth. Both teams have qualified for the Euros but mark my words even though England have the easier group Ireland will go further. Fighting Irish and all that.

    Thats not difficult England are absolute w*nk! They're the international version of Everton. Look good on paper, should be doing better and everyone knows on their day they can beat anyone, but they rarely do! England wont get past round 1!
