Pretty sure at the start of the season a UCD fan was saying he looked very good and they would struggle to hold into him. You seem to think if we sign some players from UCD we are screwed but if you actually look around the league they have had some of the top players that have gone on to win leagues and cups.

I am seriously hoping his comment is a wind up based on the nonsense he was talking in the Limerick section.

I am not knocking ucd players but if he was that good i am sure some of the big dublin teams would have snapped him up by now.he is only a young lad,we need mature experienced loi players.martin russell probably knows him well but i just think that we need to be aiming higher if we want to stay in the top half of the league.

I would imagine we will be looking at a blend of experience and youth. Our budget certainly wouldn't be big enough to be filling our team with experience.

The main thing is that we compete with the big guys when the season starts.they wont get many in the markets field if they dont im afraid.

Completely unrealistic to expect us to compete with any of the top 4 we can't financially so we won't on the pitch unless Russell is brilliant.

**delboyderis** · 21/11/2014, 4:36 PM

We didnt do too bad this season so why not push on and compete for fourth spot next season.its all about improving every season.they wont get the crowds if they arent competing against the big guys.

As it happens i was checking something out yesterday and noticed this UCD team from 2008 (they were relegated in 2009). Bear in mind Ronan Finn was a member of the UCD this season as well

Look at their bench that day FFS. If they could hold onto their players they could win leagues.

I suppose its hard for the small clubs to hold onto their good players when the big clubs come knocking.i have been supporting ipswich town since the 80's and its happened a lot with them too.

I think pineapple stu was saying that the kid more or less did a runner on UCD and turned up playing for Trinity in a colleges game. Never told anyone he'd changed colleges.

Delighted with Djilali signing, he's the type of player we need.

How much has Limerick's budget been reduced by for next year?

On one hand we are hearing Pat has completely pulled his money from the first team squad but on the other we are hearing the club are talking to some very good players and have 7 or 8 of last seasons squad signed back up already so its hard to know if the budget has moved at all at this stage.

**delboyderis** · 22/11/2014, 9:44 AM

The budget for last year was 225,000 taken from fifa.dont know what the club has for this year.

**SwanVsDalton** · 22/11/2014, 10:20 AM

Cillian Morrison and Shaun Patton sign for Derry from Cork and Finn Harps.

Do you think he will be a starter ? He didn't do much at Limerick and I don't recall hearing good reports from his last year with Sligo, to be fair he was decent a few years ago, good strenght too, not sure he can still deliver that, but no harm taking a punt I suppose. I'd see him as a squad player.

Billy Dennehy and Liam Kearney are literally our only wide players. If hes fit and works hard in pre season Right Wing is his for the taking.

Also.. hes 23, its not like hes over the hill

He might not be, but his liver certainly is

Well that's true. Is that Kavanagh lad a right full? I think it was him who put in that cross just before Gartland got the second for us in the big match last month, the one where Lehann just flashed wide, it was probably the best cross of the night.

He is. He's a good replacement for Lenihan. It was incredible that he didn't start that night.
