Judging by the comments from the Walsall fans, GC is going to have a hell of a time keeping him out the nightclubs. Shame, I thought we had finally seen the back of those types of players. Extract from an article about GC's career, which was written by an Irish journalist in February this year:- He (GC ) was his own worst enemy as a youngster. Called up for a trial for the Irish under 15s, he spent the night before at a disco, while selection for Leinster under 17s for a game in Germany clashed with a family holiday in Malta, and he chose Malta.
"I didn't know much about the professional game," he (GC ) says. "I didn't know that I could have a professional career. I was enjoying life, I loved following Ireland and having a good time with my pals, so I didn't dedicate myself as a young lad as I should have."Sounds like he's got personal experience to draw on to keep Leahy on the straight and narrow - if necessary

Leahy gave it a good go here, can't fault him for his effort just didn't work out

Good player. Welcome to the club Luke! Walsall fans don't seem to agree! Coventry said the same about JCH? Leahy's played virtually every game over two season's so he can be that useless, or they must have had some shocking managers during that spell if they all kept selecting him. Regardless he's got to out perform Kelly to be our new LB anyway.

Walsall fans don't seem to agree! And? Do I care? Nah. He's so bad he got 17 assists in the past 2 seasons for them. Just saying. To a man they don't rate him and I'm sure they have seen much more of him than you have?

Pirate, do you really think this is a good signing? Walsall fans seem to think he's awful, an equivalent to our Stefan Payne Always impressed me when I've seen him. Sweet left foot. Better going forward than defensively, but not the worst defender in the world. I like him. Your video clips certainly support that view. Scored some cracking left footed shots in Scotland.

To a man they don't rate him and I'm sure they have seen much more of him than you have? 17 assists and six goals in two seasons, stats that Tom Nichols a striker can only dream of. Bugger Walsall fans, I would suggest he was not the only reason they were relegated.

Question: if he is truly awful defensively, would he be best incorporated as the LWB in a 5 at the back system? Then he could best contribute going forward and he seems great in that department

If DC is happy to let him go that's good enough for me.

Don’t think we’ll ever see the best of THD, or we have seen it already. Poor guy has no luck with injuries. Good signing I’d say.

Our thoughts are with you from walsall at this sad time. So a virtual ever present for you the last two seasons is the main reason you were relegated last season? He’s been part of the two worst Walsall defences in my lifetime. He’s good going forward - but is absolutely atrocious defending wise.

Not just atrocious, mind. Absolutely atrocious.

Absolutely prepared to see more of the same type of football we saw second half of last season, we will defend. Unless GC has some attacking aces up his sleeve, I wouldn't expect anything else.
To confirm if it again means we stay up and keep the same points average up GC was able to achieve then I think we would be happy.
