Re: Dara O’Shea

From what I've seen, he looks dreadful.
Sloppy play, weak defending and conceeding a lot of goals whilst he is playing.

With the signings we made, I do wish we hadn't bothered and just gone for THB.
At least if he'd been just as poor, we've seen him be very good to deserve the chance.
