Names Trappatoni could consider

This Irish team that Giovani Trappatoni as assembled in his two year reign is a nice strong competitive team that does have its pros and cons.
One area many would agree with that is a bit weak is the central midfield. Glenn Whelan and Keith Andrews have been the preferred options but just looking around there are a couple of other unlikely names that might well do a good job.
Darron Gibson is one but is already of Trappatoni's radar. Seán Scannell at Crystal Palace is young and raw and may not be ready for internationals for another few years but just looking outside of England and Scotland we have Barry Maguire of FC Utrecht. He did his potential international career no harm with a goal against Celtic a few weeks ago and has come out and said he wants to play for the Irish team. Maguire is a midfielder/defender and could be a useful player due to his John O'Shea style versatility.
Darren O'Dea is another player that has caught the eye and deserves a shout and another is possibly Matthew Cassidy of AEL in Cyprus. Cassidy, a former Bolton trainee is the first Irish player to play in Cyprus and has already featured for the U-21s down the years.

Other players in different positions are highly-rated Union Berlin left-back Patrick Kohlmann. Kohlmann is German-born but has an Irish father and has been solid for Union Berlin since moving from Borussia Dortmund a few years back. Obivously wingers are in a bit of short supply but Kevin Walker of AIK in Sweden is an option out on the wing but can equally play in central midfield so another versatile player. His brother Robert does play in the 2nd tier of Swedish football but is an Allsvenskan ability player and could also be looked at for his versatility in midfield and attack.
New Pacos Ferreira striker Pádraig Amond has proved at League of Ireland level that he is a goal scoring hitman and it will be interesting to see if he gets similar success in the Superliga. Cillian Sheridan has made his way to Bulgaria with CSKA and for the past few years has been knocking on the door for Trappatoni.
In Scotland Anthony Stokes has been exceptional with Hibernian and a few years back Falkirk. Up in Sweden Anto Flood made his name in his short spell with Galway United is a striker/winger.

Just a couple of names there that could make the break to international football. There are up an coming players in England and Scotland too but this was really a post about the Irish players or eligable players abroad in Europe.
