How every Republic of Ireland hopeful is set after the summer transfer window

Some good moves, some essential moves, some no moves.

We don't need to get into it again but it's a joke that Robbie Brady will spend another season in the Championship. He is the country's best player at present and, whilst 14 of his international colleagues will start September in the Premier League, the Dubliner is still at Norwich. After a busy transfer window, here's how Ireland's hopefuls are looking for the season ahead. Darren Randolph 2015/16: West Ham United 2016/17: West Ham United Division: Premier League Manager: Slaven Bilic Status: Cup goalkeeper. Second string to Adrian but getting plenty of football. Already played three Europa League games in August alone. Keiren Westwood 2015/16: Sheffield Wednesday 2016/17: Sheffield Wednesday Division: Championship Manager: Carlos Carvahal Status: The main man, in flying form, playing the most football of all the Irish 'keepers. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/771108558939250688 David Forde 2015/16: Millwall 2016/17: Portsmouth (loan) Division: League Two Manager: Paul Cook Status: Finally playing again, working under the man who was so influential in Seamus Coleman's career, but he's well down the international pecking order. Gary Rogers 2015/16: Dundalk 2016/17: Dundalk Division: League of Ireland Premier Division Manager: Stephen Kenny Status: 34, reliable, dependable, understudy. Rob Elliot 2015/16: Newcastle United 2016/17: Newcastle United Division: Championship Manager: Rafa Benitez Status: Played well last year after injury crisis but the club have brought in Matz Sels for £6.5m whilst Elliot recovers from a knee injury. Seamus Coleman 2015/16: Everton 2016/17: Everton Division: Premier League Manager: Ronald Koeman Status: Going to thrive under Koeman's new system which has the full backs bombing upfield. https://twitter.com/ConanDoherty/status/745691494460366849 Cyrus Christie 2015/16: Derby County 2016/17: Derby County Division: Championship Manager: Nigel Pearson Status: Regular in a good team. Richard Keogh 2015/16: Derby County 2016/17: Derby County Division: Championship Manager: Nigel Pearson Status: Player of the year. Obviously. John O'Shea 2015/16: Sunderland 2016/17: Sunderland Division: Premier League Manager: David Moyes Status: Injured but wasn't making the team under Allardyce and Moyes has brought in more defensive options. Shane Duffy 2015/16: Blackburn Rovers 2016/17: Brighton & Hove Albion (£4m) Division: Championship Manager: Chris Hughton Status: Reported club record fee, jumped from one side of the table to the next. He'll be alright. Ciaran Clark 2015/16: Aston Villa 2016/17: Newcastle United (£5m) Division: Championship Manager: Rafa Benitez Status: Moved from the Villa bench to the Newcastle bench. Marc Wilson 2015/16: Stoke City 2016/17: Bournemouth (undisclosed) Division: Premier League Manager: Eddie Howe Status: One game, one goal. Good move. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/768565570979651584?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Alex Pearce 2015/16: Bristol City (loan) 2016/17: Derby County Division: Championship Manager: Nigel Pearson Status: Could've done with a move. Not going to see much game time at Derby. Paul McShane 2015/16: Reading 2016/17: Reading Division: Championship Manager: Jaap Stam Status: The best place he could be. Stephen Ward 2015/16: Burnley 2016/17: Burnley Division: Premier League Manager: Sean Dyche Status: Won his place midway through last year and has kept it since. A real success story. Robbie Brady 2015/16: Norwich City 2016/17: Norwich City Division: Championship Manager: Alex Neil Status: Unbelievable that he didn't get a move. Way above that standard. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/771109588498280448 James McCarthy 2015/16: Everton 2016/17: Everton Division: Premier League Manager: Ronald Koeman Status: Under pressure with the arrival of Idrissa Gueye but talk of his leaving might've been exaggerated. Started the first game out of position and has undergone a groin procedure. Plus, Gareth Barry is about 321 years old. Jeff Hendrick 2015/16: Derby County 2016/17: Burnley (£10.5m) Division: Premier League Manager: Sean Dyche Status: Great move for a great player.

Eunan O'Kane 2015/16: Bournemouth 2016/17: Leeds United (undisclosed) Division: Championship Manager: Garry Monk Status: Essential move and the right move to protect his Ireland career. The arrival of Jack Wilshere at Bournemouth gave him no choice. Glenn Whelan 2015/16: Stoke City 2016/17: Stoke City Division: Premier League Manager: Mark Hughes Status: Vice captain, everpresent. David Meyler 2015/16: Hull City 2016/17: Hull City Division: Premier League Manager: Mike Phelan Status: Started and finished every game so far this season. Darron Gibson 2015/16: Everton 2016/17: Everton Division: Premier League Manager: Ronald Koeman Status: Will do well to feature much this season despite signing a new contract. Stephen Quinn 2015/16: Reading 2016/17: Reading Division: Championship Manager: Jaap Stam Status: Always playing football. Aiden McGeady 2015/16: Sheffield Wednesday (loan) 2016/17: Preston North End (loan) Division: Championship Manager: Simon Grayson Status: God knows. James McClean 2015/16: West Bromwich Albion 2016/17: West Bromwich Albion Division: Premier League Manager: Tony Pulis Status: Playing great stuff against top opposition every week. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/745926730251132928 Callum O'Dowda 2015/16: Oxford United 2016/17: Bristol City (£1.25m) Division: Championship Manager: Lee Johnson Status: New club, higher standard, playing every week.

Daryl Murphy 2015/16: Ipswich Town 2016/17: Newcastle United (undisclosed) Division: Championship Manager: Rafa Benitez Status: Played the first four games of the season with Ipswich but now will battle with Mitrovic, Gouffran, Perez and Gayle for a place at Newcastle. Jon Walters 2015/16: Stoke City 2016/17: Stoke City Division: Premier League Manager: Mark Hughes Status: He's great. David McGoldrick 2015/16: Ipswich Town 2016/17: Ipswich Town Division: Championship Manager: Mick McCarthy Status: Very popular but Ipswich have recruited Luke Varney and Leon Best in the summer.
