I couldn't disagree more. Given's career is likely over, as is Carr's. Duff has lost his pace and he is the highest paid winger outside of the big four. Specifically which Irish players would you like them to buy? I don't see anyone available who would be suitable for Newcaste's style of play with the exception of Steven Reid. Hunt, Doyle, Andy Reid, Dunne, Robbie Keane, none of the good Irish players would be made available by their respective clubs. I've heard rumours that the Magpies will offer Celtic twelve million for Aiden McGeady in the summer but although he has a huge upside, that would be an absolutely enormous risk.
