Would be brilliant to see him come back for Armagh. One of the greatest players that Armagh have produced over the last few years and he will provide a lot of experience to our new players.

The season has just got a little more exciting for us Armagh fans cheers

Would love for him to come back, half forward line and midfield is Armagh's biggest problem at the minute. Would strengthen that area up in a big way. Watch out Conor Gormley.

McEntee rules out Armagh return

Crossmaglen stalwart John McEntee has ruled out any prospect of him returning to the Armagh county squad.

Armagh manager Peter McDonnell is understood to have made overtures to McEntee but the player told BBC Sport that his intercounty days are "over".

"I'm too old. I'm not fit for county football any more," said McEntee.

"I'm 31 and my days are numbered with Cross let alone the county. There are plenty of young fellows in Cross and throughout other clubs in the county."

McEntee, who quit the Armagh squad after the 2006 season, made the comments at Tuesday's Crossmaglen press night ahead of next week's AIB All-Ireland Club Final against Kilmacud Crokes.

Cross don't appear to have any major injury problems going into the decider.

However with a full squad at his disposal, manager Donal Murtagh will have some major selection calls to make - particularly in attack.

The Cross squad has 11 players battling for the six forward slots and the strength-in-depth was emphasised in the semi-final hammering of Dromcollogher-Broadford when Armagh senior panelist Stephen Kernan started from the bench.

It's a great pity as he's a fantastic player to watch when on form, but it's all the better for the rest of us I suppose!
