    Think that's a pretty damp way to view it, He was on the Galway panel for a time and Galway at the moment are superior to us and have fresh youngsters coming in who they would probably have on the panel instead of this man as he's had unfortunate time with injuries (so I'm told). Judging someone before a ball is kicked is unfair, we lack actual decent midfielders at the moment and if he's better or kicks up the competitiveness in our midfield area all the better.

    Yeah, it depends on different county requirements. Some counties can be overloaded in certain areas while others short. Galway would have serious competition for the midfield shirts although it does seem a bit of a funny move.

    The manager has said that we have to stop thinking that other teams are superior to us.

    We should be trying to develop our own lads unless this lad is living in the County and playing club football here i wouldn't be bringing him in.

    If he has a good attitude and commited he is worth bringing in. Maybe can add something from a winning mentality with Corofin.

    Nesty Smith hadn't a great attitude and seemed to enjoy the limelight too much.

    It might have helped if the man tasked with developing players in the county over the last decade had tried to identify and develop midfielders rather than going to Corofin for one.

    The move is a remarkable open admission of failure of his key objective in his own full time paid position.

    Monaghan in Clones it is folks. No fear there, we always give them a rattle and rise for it. Top side of the draw better to be on too

    He has recalled a few midfielders who weren't given a run under previous managements and brought in some new ones. Tristan Hoffman, Peter Corrigan, Culainn McSeain.

    There is lots of players you can identify at a young age but sticking at or wanting to give the commitment is another thing. Thomas Galligan would have been developed but in Australia for the last 3 years.

    Couldn't agree more, With his failure to develop midfielders. But if this man coming in will help I only see it as a good move for the county but not for him.

    Evan Crowe was starting for Cavan this year against Tyrone and is 20. His club mate David Brady was seen as a potential county midfielder but didn't really cut it at County Senior.

    There is probaly more midfielders currently on the Cavan panel then a long time. Conor Casey is in there too.

    Maybe previous managers were playing players out of position so couldn't develop a midfieder. Killian Clarke wasn't a county midfielder

    Don't worry, if he masterminds a decent division 2 campaign and an Ulster final there'll be lads on here calling him the messiah. Like every county, we are a notorious fickle bunch at times

    David Brady never got a run at county level. Graham never gave him time. Definitely had the talent and possibly needed to be more assertive but wasn't helped by being hooked at half time any time he got a game. And then got injured.
