with the under 19 team losing by 6 to carew park yesterday, it highlights that there not up to the standard of league of ireland yet. I know that some individuals are good players as i saw a few games out in annocotty this year but it proves that the standard of the league [u 19] isnt great. It will be a year or two before one if any are ready for the premier league.
We can't sign either. Very few clubs can. As they are both U23 and have been offered contracts equal to or better than their previous deals any club signing them would have to pay compensation, in the region of €20/25k for a LOI club, probably more if they went to England.
Cork City are in no position to pay that sort of money, though I will tell you this, if it wasn't for that, O'Leary would be a Cork City player by now, hes not happy at all.
Understandably so.Originally Posted by El-Pietro
Some bit of contact from the club needs to happen asap. I know it was the christmas holidays but i'm sure players would still like to have been kept updated on whats going on.
I'm not too sure on contract law, but lets just say O'Leary refuses to sign for whatever reasons. Is he left in limbo if no one pays his transfer?
And is Gaffney not 23?
Derry want O'Leary too. If they sell one of the 3 that were close to moves to England they could pay compo for him if they wanted.
he can play junior football (or none) for 12 months, then he can sign for anyone he wants. It used be 6 months/half a season but they changed that. Thought we might try that with Tierney a couple of seasons ago.
Any news on Gaffneys injury that finished his season early last year.
From someone who has no medical training.... I think it's usually 6 weeks for a metatarsal so, if all went well, you'd imagine he's back running by now :-)
Didn't heal right the first time he got surgery and will be back soon. He said early January at the time.

Wouldn't be surprised if O'Leary gets an offer. It will have to be from someone with a few bob though so that rules out a fair few teams.
Is Gaffney gone for sure then? I'm hearing Sligo mentioned a lot in regards his immediate future.

Pat o Sullivan just said on radio gaffney has agreed a two year deal and it was agreed a month ago.
Thats great news. Did he name the new manager? if he didnt, why not? and did he mention any other players signing or have signed
That's great news!

According to Rory himself he had heard nothing from the club up until yesterday.
Asked about Sligo was he going there and was it near and he said no. Hopefully he has signed a new deal.
So rory is treated the same as everyone else. As i said before that last years squad have been treated badly. The likes of rory should have been approached half way through last season to sign an extension. regardless of whom the board wanted as manager whether it was scully or a new manager , they were always going to want the players that were performing the best. Rory would be one of these.
The club have done that in the past re approaching players half way though the season. There may have been a reason why they either didn't this year or that they did but players didn't want to re-sign early.
Corie Treacy to Longford confirmed on the main transfer thread.
