Dublin Canary 0 Posted January 18, 2010 This is my first post and a newbie here I just thought that I would share a few articles with you that are in the Irish press about Wes Hoolahan. Both very positive articles.http://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/finally-finding-a-stage-for-his-talents-2018358.htmlhttp://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/new-role-fires-hoolahan-up-the-scoring-charts-1997121.htmlDublin Canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
When Saturday Comes 0 Posted January 18, 2010 Welcome aboard!Good articles, cheers for the links. I think some of Hoolahan''s critics (still find it unbelievable there are some) should read and remember this paragraph - "The challenge for any manager is to accommodate the 27-year-old, to highlight his strong points and compensate for the areas where he''s never going to be a force -- he''s not going to dive into challenges to prove commitment. He''s just one of those natural performers; there''s no point trying to force him into a role that doesn''t suit him. Instead, he needs to be surrounded by people who can endeavour to provide that freedom" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We''re playing Hoolahan in his best position which allows him to drift and over elaborate because you''ve got messrs Lappin, Russell and Smith cobering him!
