West Ham do some dodgy business but there’s no way that:

1. Dack is an upgrade on Snodgrass or any other attacking midfielder they have

2. A premier league quality player.

Maybe not right now but he'd be pretty cheap (in premier league terms), he's young and has a chance to progress into a premier league player. Did well in league one, stepped up and has done well in the championship, who's to say he can't make it in the premier league. He's only 25.

bit of talk in the media today that Josh Cullen may be called into the Republic of Ireland squad, Mick McCarthy watched the Charlton Portsmouth game, as he was watching Ronan Curtis who scored,  but was also very impressed with Josh, wait and see.

I'd love to get him on a permanent deal.

Sure we all would but think it's more likely he could come on loan again next season if we are promoted. Doubt he'll be playing league one football again. 

Think that if we do get promoted, there is a very good possibility that Cullen might come here permanently. He doesn’t have to travel far, is very good friends with Lewis Page, great relationship with the club and management team, and will know if he plays regularly for us in the Championship, he will get in the Ireland squad and from there who knows. It would make sense.

The likelihood is, Cullen is never going to play for West Ham in the Premier League as they’ll just go out and buy a midfielder, especially one to replace Noble, albeit Josh would probably be the most economical and best player to come in, they’re likely to go and buy a player pushing Josh further down the pecking order.

West Ham would likely want a fee though so we can put that idea to bed now.

Been superb last 2 games. If him, Aribo, Beilik and Williams are fit for the play offs I rate our chances very highly

It’s a strong midfield but I do worry about the end product and someone popping up in the box to get the goals. I think 3 of them alongside one of Fosu or Reeves might be our best bet.

Ireland might want to call him up and play him for the last moments of the match

Having been born in Southend he could still follow Declan Rice

You'd think that they'd want to start copying the Welsh approach by giving competitive caps to 16-year olds to ensure they cant lose them further down the line

He's from good Leitrim stock, he wouldn't do that sort of thing. It's hard  to trust some people from the rebel county.

Lovely little player. Has a wonderful skill set and work rate.

Hope he gets some game time! Has become an extremely important player for us, to the extent where we've hardly missed JFC (maybe some of his goals, but Cullen is probably a better ballwinner)

Fully deserved; be great if he can get his first cap... Hope he comes back without any knocks though

Josh has been the most consistent performer for the last 2 games in my opinion, pulling the strings from midfield, long may it continue.

Not a flair player but keeps things ticking over - players of this type don't always get the credit they deserve. 

So, Declan Rice jumps ship from Ireland to England, which is immediately followed by Cullen's first call up for the full Irish side...

A very good player, being in the right place at the right time.

I think he is out of contract May this year.
