Article: Gary Deegan Back in Training (1 Viewer)

Can't wait to see the pitbull back. With a bit of tutoring from carsley we cud hav a class act on our hands! Ez

I can't really remember him playing it was that long ago but I think he scored and did go in to some nasty 50 / 50s

Yep, he goes in hard. Maybe why he gets all the knocks-McGrath stylee. The first article in the Telegraph after we signed him was about how a few players had complained that he'd gone in too hard in training!

He got 3 goals for us I think last year-never thought I'd praise this guy, but..he scores Julian Darby type goals! Pops up unmarked in unexpected areas after runs from deep and gets tap-ins galore. Typical box-to-box midfielder stuff, and they're a dying breed. f you want a class example, Bryan Robson. But more realisticaly, think Darby v Blackburn, when he scored twice I think. Deegans goal against Leicester was great, from about 2 inches out!

It's great to see him back and it'd help him next year if he gets some games under his belt, but I don't want him to rush back and get injured again. That's what happened last time.

Who let the Deegs out?

Tbh I think he's a bit of a dinosaur. I'm pleased for him that he's back and there are times we could have done with him this year but I'm not sure he's a good enough footballer from the small amount that I've seen of him. I consider him a bit like a Doyler but without the experience.

That said, as always if he iswearing Sky Blue he will have my full support and I hope that he can prove me wrong.

Deegs was just finding his way and some good form in the championship until his injury.

Looks raw but theres definitely good potential there - confident he'll be a good player but may take a bit of time until we see his best
