Apparently called up to the Ireland squad for the big game with Germany.

Great news. I hope he gets more oppertunities with the first team this season.
Germany 1 - 0 Ireland (Brady o.g 90')
Was he unlucky or did he make a mistake?
Brady scored an OG, did it deflect off him and he didn't know anything about it, or was it a miss-kick or something he can be blamed for?
Miss-kick, it was funny as hell. 
Woosh
He was being stupid gooDevil, the game hasn't happened yet.
It hasnt happened yet
Worst scout ever.
Ah, right-o, for some reason I was thinking he wasn't with the main national team and had played some U21 game I didn't know about.
Brady isn't even a defender, why should he get the Wes Brown treatment anyway?
You guys missed me being an idiot in the thread about websites with statistics and such, it was much worse than this!

Off to Wolves on loan apparently. No more details than that.
Hope he does go on loan, thought he did really well for us as a left back in pre-season and needs the experience, not sure if he'll play much at left mid though.
Great news, hopefully he gets to play more centrally and gets to score some goals.
Hopefully he does well on the loan spell if he does go. He still has a decent way to go before being close to the United first team (based on preseason), so hopefully a loan spell helps him improve
Yeah Im pretty sure they wont be using him as a left back.
They will be short on wide players if they end up cancelling Adam Hammils contract. Read they might yesterday.
Hammill is on loan to Huddersfield Town, so they're not competing (at least until January, unless he has to answer charges).
Wolves has just signed Pennant. I don't think Brady will be moving to Wolves, now.
I thought Wolves would have had more sense than signing someone who is clearly a bad apple.
It's a loan.
By the way stubie, you need to up you're game. Some newbs thought you were still down there

According to Sky reports, we've turned down a number of Championship and Premiership clubs who want to have him on loan. Can't understand that at all personally.
Surprising decision that. He should be going to loan.
I just heard about the championship clubs, not sure why he wouldnt be allowed to be loaned to a premiershup club.
Interesting, if that's true then surely we have a particular club in mind and I'd suspect we're working on the details or have it sorted out already.
Good point. Hope it's true.
Good to see clubs wanting to take him on loan. At a guess it is more a case of us wanting to find the right team for him to go to where he will definitely get game time, because I can't see any reasons right now for us to keep him with us over a loan at the moment. He needs the loan move to progress.
I'm in favor of following the Cleverley formula for loaning out reserve players. Brady has spent his season on loan in the lower leagues, now he's ready for a Premier League team.
Like with Cleverley, the odds are certainly against him making the first team, but he seems to have the passion and drive required. Playing for Ireland will mean a lot more attention, has to have helped his visibility.

It's surprising that him along with a few others have not gone out on loan. The level of the U-21 league doesn't look any different from the previous reserves league. Some of these boys need to play football at a higher level to progress. I have read a couple of Brady interviews where he has expressed his desire to go out on loans. May be it will happen to a PL club in January.
Another reason could be that Brady was kept here as a left back cover. When did Buttman arrive? Wasn't it near or on the deadline day?

Buttner arrived a week or so before the deadline from memory. At least it was latish in the window, but not near the actual deadline. So it could have been the reason, but then you can loan players out still after the transfer deadline anyway can't you?
By some accounts Brady is extremely self confident. He may have turned down loan deals thinking he could make a breakthrough already at United.
As I've often said, if Ashley Young is his competition at left wing, then he's got a shout. I agree he needs a loan for the moment though.

Do you think he's going to end up a winger, charley? Personally I see him as a central midfield or an attacking midfielder. Which also reminds me of Cleverley, who played a lot on the wing for the reserves and on his loan spells.
I thought he was a winger, with thoughts of making him a fall back LB option during preseason?
I don't watch any of the reserve games, so haven't watched him beyond a couple of preseason games
Yes, possibly. He seems like one of those all rounders who could play anywhere across midfield. I guess I'm thinking left wing as there's a clearer path for him there, although more transfers by United could change that.
I guess the new diamond formation Fergie is trying would suit Brady the way it suits Cleverley.
It's still a big ask for him to really make it at United though, obviously. Let's hope...
Teams in the lower leagues can make loans up until something like the 20th of November I think. Premiership teams are allowed to make emergency loans still, but I've got a feeling that the PL loan market closes shortly.
Fergie might want to see how he does in some cup games and then make a decision on a loan in January.
Thats been my thoughts since day one. The left back thing wont happen and would be a waste. Still think he'll surprise a few people....great left peg on him!
I would rather we try him there in a league game than playing Welbeck on the left wing. His natural position.
Only other thing is whether SAF is holding out to January in the hope he gets a move to a PL club.
