Ger Barron maybe?

Is he any use?

**bluewhitearmy** · 06/12/2012, 12:52 PM

Very solid keeper. Would have preferred him staying then Barry if im honest.

I would love to sign Ger Barron or Richard Brush now.

I would have kept Dave Ryan but like Jofspring wouldn't view it as a major loss. He's handy for sure but prone to the odd clanger, would be surprised to see him starting for Pats.

the odd clanger is putting it mildly. His kicking is second only to Jimmy Fyffe's as the worst I've ever seen in the league and I've seen some right bad ones down through the years. to be honest we've had a few alright keepers but we haven't had a really good one since Brian McKenna.

Don't forget Noel Mooney kicking nearly every kick out on the main road up in Hogan Park.

Thomond park would if suited davey Ryan kicking to touch :-)

Looks like David o Leary is sick of waiting for a decent contract and will be signing for cork, massive loss

**Jofspring** · 18/12/2012, 7:22 PM

If he does sign for them he will find it tough. He will be up against Colin Healy, Shane Duggan, Gearoid Morrissey and Brian Lenihan.

Hopefully he stays with us. Out of all the players to re-sign I would have had him the top of my list.

**peterpan** · 18/12/2012, 7:51 PM

Healy will be playing right back and he can play in a 3man midfield with Dugan and morrisey quite easily.

Johnny Dunleavy will be playing right back. Healy will be in centre mid. They'd be crazy to do otherwise.

**peterpan** · 18/12/2012, 8:16 PM

John is gonna be a utility player, Healy will be at right back, doesn't have the legs for centre mud anymore but still a great football brain.

I said similar in the manager vacancy thread... Blueandwhitearmy is adamant that's not true. My source is 100% certain that Dave wasn't offered a decent contract, but I think he's going to wait to see who comes in before he sits down with the club. I don't think he'll sign with Cork before he talks to Limerick first.

Can only go by what i'm told. And from what i'm told if he leaves it will not be because of money it will be because of getting sick of waiting for things to be sorted. There is every chance ive been told a load of bull of course.

Cork will have to pay us for Dave do they have money for that?

**Lim till i die** · 19/12/2012, 1:29 AM

Your source has a mixed bag of a record s o far so we'll just have to wait and see I suppose. I'm glad he seems to have stopped drinking in that pub in Cork.

There's nothing much the club can do about O'Leary at the moment so pointless worrying.

Can't edit my post on phone missing a few smiley faces but general points still stand.

thats a load of rubbish. Healy is well able to play in midfield, Dunleavy is looking to secure a move back to England, he refused to sign more than a one year deal. so theres no chance he would hav agreed a deal as a utility player.
