I think they (Paul and Ledley) were similar level players. Irish football fans feel similar about Paul as Spurs fans feel about Ledley. But for their respective issues they would both be remembered more broadly as greats.

Yeah, I always thought around 1989-90 he would have been terrific. And clearly Venables loved him. McGrath and Mabbutt as centre-backs on the 1991 FA Cup team would have been quite the combination.

I don't think it will change how often we deploy 3 at the back. We already were playing 3 at the back for a majority of our matches and if we sell Wimmer, we'll still be left with 4 recognized CBs (plus CCV, who cannot be considered a viable PL option right now). Playing 3 at the back exclusively will likely not be an option since we don't have complete cover for the formation in case of injury or suspension. However, this move will certainly give Poch more flexibility between defense and midfield with Dier not having to necessarily cover both CB and DM.
And I was figuring he could talk with Jan & Toby in Dutch to confuse the opposition...

Anyone know if Jan or Toby speak Spanish? Toby did spend time in Madrid but it might be optomistic to expect him to speak the language.And I was figuring he could talk with Jan & Toby in Dutch to confuse the opposition...

He gets in better positions than their actual striker

Anyone know when he cropped up on our radar or how long we've had an eye on him? Always curious about that kind of info.
Sorry if it has already been said, it's a long thread

As a proud London Irish man I grew up idolising McGrath. My favourite Irish player of all time. Had all the tools. Good pace, great header and read the game better than any defender I've ever seen. Was amazing against Italy in 1994 World cup. Very accomplished midfielder too. And all this without training in the week! Would turn up on matchday and play like a Rolls Royce.
Yes he and Ledley with two knees between them would have been the best partnership football's seen (may be a tad biased)

Was that confirmed as the favourite supermarket cryptic from early in the window?
I think he was referring to Baresi-Peters

So all the links for veltman earlier in the window were a smokescreen for this guy then in the end?
I forgot Veltman..genuinely feels like 3 years ago.

I've said it on here many years ago but Paul McGrath has a half brother who goes by the name of Paul McGrath.
My younger brother lived in County Kilburn between 1987-1992 and one of his pals was indeed Paul McGrath.
The story goes that the mother named that son Paul because she had forgotten about the first son.
I have no reason to doubt this anecdote.

You're overthinking it.
