QuoteDelighted Kelly re-signed.
I remember O'Leary signing an extension about mid way through last season around the time we signed Behan and Gamble. Not sure how long that was for though.
Just said id throw this up to put all news of lads that are confirmed as signed or have re-signed
Gamble
Bradley
McGann
Shaun Kelly
That all i know are signed so far Gamble,Bradley and McGann were still in contract from last season i think. James McGrath may be too but im not 100%.
Shaun Kelly confirmed via twitter today.

It's going to be interesting to see who from last seasons squad the new manager will not want to hold onto. Hopefully he decides to keep a large amount for continuity.
List of re-signed is now:
Joe Gamble
Stephen Bradley
Shaun Kelly
Garbhan Coughlan
Steven McGann
James McGrath
I wouldn't mind seeing us get the following sorted asap:
Dave O'Leary
Pat Purcell
Rory Gaffney
Shane Tracey
Corie Treacey
Sean Brosnan
Will we have to wait for a new manager though?
Author of Never Felt Better (History, Film Reviews).
Possibly, but these are key players in my opinion and a few others have already been signed up so don't see why they couldn't be tied down now if the deal can be done. Should still be plenty of scope for the new manager even if they sign. I would hate to see us lose the likes of O'Leary cause we were waiting for a new manager.Originally Posted by NeverFeltBetter
But maybe those players don't want to sign on without knowing whose going to be in charge?

O'Leary is apparently waiting to see who manager will be, wants to stay though he says.
Out of last years squad still not signed up, my opinion is to keep.

Release/ replace...
O'Callaghan, O'Brien, Sheehan, Kluciar, D.Ryan,
...With 5 quality prem players and you have a relatively decent squad.
Younger players like C.Daly, Cowpar and Sheedy should maybe get another year to prove themselves.
I'd sooner keep Kluciar than Guthrie and wouldn't be sure which of the three keepers I'd release (I would like to see us get a new keeper) but that aside I'd be in agreement with most of that.
The ball is round and has many surprises.
Don't see judgies name anywhere???
I'm the exact same as sadloserkid really.
I would definitely keep Judgie even just as a squad player depending what the new manger was like.

That amount of difference that leaving out one letter of your sentence can make is massive.

Damn you.
Any thoughts on how long the new manager will need to take a look at the current/resigned players and how long it will take him to recruit the new players he feels he will need ? i'm not sure but are other premier clubs recruiting already for the new season ?
Most the premier teams have been signing up the players they want to keep onto. Derry and St.Pats have tied down the bulk of their last seasons squad while Shamrock Rovers seem to be buying anyone that had a good season last year. Drogheda have made a few new signings as have Cork but Cork still have some key players yet to be re-signed.
In: Val Feeney (Athlone) says he is an 19s signing but im told its hoped he will be in the first team.
One of mates said to me a few weeks ago he saw him down training with the under 19's and that he is savage. Said that Feeney wants to play for the first team.
David Ryan has gone to Pats. Thoughts?
