But hey-ho I’ll join in.
So what about Hourihane - is he in the news ???
My thoughts about Hourihane is this - and it’s more to do with him after he left other than when he played here.
I measure all midfielders against him in the role that he played ie the midfield ball player.
Two players:
Mowatt - as slow as Hourihane - only half as good. Championship player.
Kane - much slower than Hourihane - nowhere near as good - Hourihane was Premier - Kane is 3rd tier.
If Hourihane was at Barnsley and playing as he did when he left - him alongside Connell would transform the current team.
We would definitely be much further up the league.
