Can I ask what he would bring to the table about performing at the highest level than day Oisin McConville wouldn’t bring? What would he have in terms of ‘the mentality of winners’ that Oisin doesn’t have? 1 simple example
The attributes he’s gained from basketball maybe? Awareness of the players/space around you, playing with the head up, always looking for a simple/quick pass or layoff. Quick hands basically. I think all players can benefit from that as you don’t get much time in the ball these days. Look at O’Donoghue’s goal v Mayo in 2014 for Donaghy at his best.
Donaghy was good at sticking the arse out, stopping his marker from jumping for the ball. Wee things that players might not think of.
I’m not saying Donaghy is the answer or we’re going to start lumping the ball into Lurch at FF at every opportunity (although I do think the odd ball in there does no harm). But he might add something different.
