Chris Kamara

I thought he's got a really nice family behind him.

Everything about him that you'd want him to play for you.

So that's still my case.

Oh, absolutely.

I'd love to build a team around him.

Well, I'd love to build a team now.

We start in March and that's my deadline, I guess.

I need to know by then, build a team around him.

And yes, he could be a future captain, he's that type of player.

And you're right, 100 caps, it's a nice profile to have that, isn't it?

I understand you've made a few inquiries about... I have asked about lots of players, like I normally do.

And yes, my intention is to speak to Patrick and...

I think he does qualify, so... Is he an Irish grandmother?

I don't know, but provided his qualifications are right, which I believe they are... He's a terrific goalscorer, Patrick, he's played against my teams, and when he's on form... He won the play of the year in the year that Daryl Murphy got 27 goals, and I always thought Daryl should have got it, but he was at Middlesbrough on loan from Chelsea and he had a great season that year, and he just puts the ball in the net, and you can't have enough of those, that's for certain.

And he's just coming back from injury, and he came back and he scored the winner there the other week, last week I think it was.

So I think he might be playing today at Villa.

TC's there today.

absolutely well you know if if you look at the team that went to 88 the european championships in the world cup in 1990 there'd be plenty of lads in those teams me included that weren't born in ireland but qualify through a parent or a grandparent and nothing's made me any prouder than playing for ireland that's for sure yeah undoubtedly let's have a look at the group you've got for euro 2020 um denmark in there again of course you've got switzerland uh georgia your first game you say gibraltar

It's Gibraltar away, yes, and they played in Portugal the last time, but they're playing in Gibraltar on the plastic pitch, so that's, you know, any advantage they can get to make it more difficult for us.

Well, we should be able to go to Gibraltar and get results, shouldn't we?
