We have someone watching this guy tonight. He's a good young winger, pacy and skilful, but with Anderson and McCleary already in his position, this is probably not a priority.
From today's Irish Times:
JAY O’SHEA will be central to much attention once again at Richmond Park tonight when at least five English clubs will watch the Galway United captain against St Patrick’s Athletic.
The Ireland under-21 international right winger thought he’d secured a move to Derby County last December but the deal fell through after the Championship side’s manager, Paul Jewell, resigned.
O’Shea’s contract expires in November but Galway are keen to cash in on their star asset, even though they would be entitled to compensation should he move at end of the season. Representatives from Swansea City, Middlesbrough and Stoke City are believed to have watched O’Shea in last week’s game with Cork City.
West Ham have been the most high-profile club to covet O’Shea, having run the rule over him in a game against his former club Bray in March before watching him again in a Uefa Under-21 Championship qualifier against Turkey in Cork later that month.
West Ham’s chief scout, Roger Cross, will be just one interested spectator in Inchicore tonight as it’s understood 20-year-old Dubliner O’Shea will also be watched by scouts from Middlesbrough, again, Nottingham Forest, Peterborough and Bournemouth.
