John Egan interview

https://www.independent.ie/sport/so...song-ahead-of-premier-adventure-38143257.html

After grafting his way through 46-game seasons at Football League level, he's now moving into elite company. It's put to him that Watford's FA Cup final drubbing at the hands of Manchester City could be an ominous sign of what's to come.

"I wouldn't say it's scary," he counters.

"It's more excitement. You want to test yourself against these teams. That's what football is all about.

"I think nowadays, it's really hard to go straight into a Premier League team without having the experience of games behind you.

"I've loved every minute of my journey. Yes, there were setbacks. I've always believed in my ability and that I could get to the top.

"It's been good so far and I still have a good bit to go." ETC

[Paisley Blade]

Man crush.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Reyt lad Egan. Just because he wasn’t scouted from the Parisian Sunday league like the rest he was discarded.

Best signing we’ve made in the last 10 years.

 

[ForgeBlade]

Top, top, top class player. He'll get the starts for Ireland that he richly deserves very soon. He's one of the players we have (not sure there are that many!) that will effortlessly make the step up, and he will be absolutely crucial in our bid to stay up.

Hope he's got deep pockets...he'll need a lot of room in them for Salah, Aguero and Kane next season

 

[Harry's Game]

I had a dream the other night our first game of the season was West Ham away, on TV and we smashed them bouncing day style with Egan scoring from a corner.

Right pissed off when the alarm went off and it was all a dream.

..............or was it a premonition?

If you're going to go to the Premier league, you gotta have a song.....

'yeah but as the new lads in this league I don't expect us to knock 6 past everybody.'

""I've loved every minute of my journey..."

to the fucking Prem! ALLEZ ALLEZ ALLEZ!!!

I’m with Johnny on this. “Scary” is being beaten 5-0 by the likes of Colchester United, or crashing out of the FA Cup to Altrincham.

Best signing we’ve made in the last 10 years.

He’s been great this season, but Billy is our best signing surely. He’s kept us up, then played a massive part in getting us up twice.

I’d say Egan is behind McGoldrick and Norwood as well, but there is certainly no shame in that. Particularly second half of the season, he’s been brilliant.

I reckon best signing in last 10 years has been either Jack O'Connell - was it £250k from Brentford? Ever-present during two promotions and still only 25. Must be worth £10 million + now, or John Fleck on a free (FREE!) from Coventry, integral in two promotions like JOC, is he 26/27? In his prime and must be worth £8-10 million.

Started our walk today in the Co Kerry village of Sneem, did a second take when I saw this statue of legendary (Gaelic) football star John Egan

He’s not even the most famous John Egan in his own family in Ireland

Best in 10yrs???? That's a big statement. But he is good, but so is JOC!

I love JOC to pieces I really do but, I think Egan is better!

Norwood?

 

[stringer]

Norwood?

If he thinks Egan’s the best then he probably thinks he’s above Norwood as well

 

[BigBed]

Really!?, I'd never have guessed!

Had a few sherbets when I made that statement.


Still think the same though
