Yeah I wouldn't read too much into Dempsey's departure either. In an ideal world we'd probably have a more local assistant boss anyway imo.
The ball is round and has many surprises.

That'd be a popular appointment actually.

A few rumours floating around that we're being linked with Sean Maguire, Danny Furlong, Shane Duggan and Lee Lynch. Thoughts? Any updates?
They'd all be very good signings but we are going to be linked with most players in the league this season I would think. It will also be claimed that we are offering thousands. Believe half what you see and none of what you hear i'd say.
Sean Maguire - Probably going to England
Danny Furlong - Would be a good signing but he already turned ourselves, Waterford and Cork down to stay with Wexford Youths last season to the best of my knowledge
Shane Duggan - Under Contract at Cork but may be able to get out of it for a fee
Lee Lynch - Going to be offered a new contract by sligo I would think and would be giving up Champions League football to come here

So who do we want from the list...
As far as i know Kenny Browne has re-signed with Pats or has agreed to.
Not a chance of Duggan signing for limerick,that fella in the pub in cork knows his stuff,haha
Have no need for him anyway as long as we keep Gamble,Bradley and O'Leary.
I was told by someone involved with Cork that they're pretty confident of getting O'Leary if they went after him... Would he play ahead of Duggan or Morrissey? From seeing them both in action quite a lot this year, I'd think O'Leary could struggle to push in there. Then again, I also thought that when Bradley signed.
I'd like to see a centre half with a bit of pace, a left & right winger, 2 strikers and maybe just 1 to cover left back. Comfortable top 6 finish next season with that squad you'd think.
They trued to sign O'Leary at the same time we did and every season since so im not too sure where that confidence is coming from but you never know...Id rather any of our 3 over Duggan being honest. I agree with what you want in but think id want a starting left back signed.
Speaking of Maguire having options in England maybe, and O'Leary's future, wouldn't he have done enough also to attract some cross channel attention also ? A trial at least.
Admittedly, I only saw half a dozen games this season, but I thought he was superb and getting better every time I saw him play.
All the talk of Maguire i think O'Leary is just as good a player he just doesn't play in a position that would get as much attention.
Agree, if it was between holding onto o'leary or signing Maguire I'd keep o'leary.
Are you for real,Duggan is one of the best cm in the league,your too used to watching first division football.a regular in the cork engine room all season,gamble nor Bradley would get on the cork team IMO.id have Duggan in a heartbeat and young lynch with him,or would he not be good enough either????
How many times have you actually seen Duggan play for Cork though? You probably know him so are bias. Lee Lynch would walk in to any LOI team imo but also imo he is much much better then Shane Duggan. Duggan one of the best cm in the league not a hope hes not even the best cm at Cork.
Seen Duggan play quite a few times with Cork and he was good but nothing special. Love to know what Cork fans have to say about him on this but from reading their own forum at times before they don't seem to think he is that special either. Not saying the lad is a bad player or anything just not as good as you are making him out to be.
lack of goals would be my criticism of duggan, would be good if he chipped in with a few. hes good ya but nothing special
If we are not after medal hunters, then why not? What's wrong with players who want to win medals?
this.
But .... didn't you start this thread ? This thread saying the exact opposite ? Brilliant. Love it.
I think it was just worded wrong in the press/ by Pat O Sullivan. I presume he meant they didn't want players just coming for the money, try win a trophy and feck off again at the end of the season.
