Its an SPL team. And tbh he would not even be over in Scotland had Limerick done things right with him.
I'd imagine Scotland is very tempting but If it's a low league club it might not be that appealing as he has a girlfriend here also as far as I know.
If players get offered poorer money that's fine if you know you can get a decent solid player for that money because as we know, good money has been wasted on average players in the past. But there is no point offering the likes of Nzuzi a low wage and then going out and giving a poorer player close to what you would have ended up giving Nzuzi.

Still not a peep about any of last seasons team being re-signed. Cork, Dundalk, Pats, Longford all tieing up last seasons players already. Sligo and Cork adding.
Squad as it stands just Shane Duggan?
Rumours on the mirror that they are looking at ucd's connor o donnell?its not a good sign of things to come.very little coming from the club at the minute.early days but worrying for the new season already.
Signing one of the most promising young keepers in the league is a worrying sign?
Fair enough.
Your other ex-UCD keeper seems to have worked out quite well.
O'Donnell would be a very good signing, I think id rather he spend a year working with Barry Ryan but wouldn't be too upset about him coming in if Barry does retire. Made a few howlers but I think all young keepers do he has massive potential. Heard we met Benson again and it went well too it would be a massive shock if we could pull that off.
A few have signed back from last season too from what I hear just no announcement yet.
Nice if we could get an announcement just see the ball is rolling and show other players we are making moves.
Its more than a goalkeeper that we need to be honest.thats why i said it was worrying,dont know much about the guy to judge him as a player.
Just to let you know that a lot of last seasons squad have been offered contracts. The club are waiting on responses. Not much they can do bout that. these can be delicate enough dealings and we shouldn't assume that club aren't working hard behind the scenes to get things sorted. Announcements will be made when deals are complete. Lets give them the benifit of the doubt.

I can see why some people wouldn't be too willing to do this tbh but knowing a few of the players and talking to em yesterday and today it seems the club actually are making a real effort. Was told by one of the lads today we may have even gotten one back that was on the brink of leaving.
Looks like Gaffney to Rovers is almost done though which is a pity.
Lee J to Hamilton seems to be a done deal. Best of luck to him.

Happyish with the business that's going on at the moment. Slow off the mark but shur what else is new.
Keeping Shane O Connor would be a pleasant surprise.
Still quality reinforcements needed all over the field.
Forgot to say if our keepers next year are UCD lad and Ali it will cost us points.
Ya would like to hold onto Shane O Connor. Thought Ali did well at the tail end of the season but we need someone with a bit of experience also. Barry may stay on yet but I'd say it's doubtful.
Mike Aherne said this morning that the club have been up in Dublin talking to players but are keeping their cards close to their chests.
He also confirmed Ali and Prince have re-signed.

What's the story with their work permits, how long were they issued for? It's good news if there's no problems and they can just play away, Prince is a fine player but I haven't seen much of Ali but he seems handy enough.
2 good re-signings there especially Prince.
He said they are gone home for the off season and will have to await work permits. That's why they were the first to have signed.
Fingers crossed!
The ball is round and has many surprises.
Barry Ryan has confirmed that he is gone from the club on Twitter. Sad to see him go. Will be interesting to see who we look to now. O'Donnell from UCD mentioned above.
Barry will be a big loss for us.he saved our skins on many a night over the past few seasons.will be interesting to see who replaces him.still very quiet on the transfer front.all the big guys are making signings but we seem to be keeping things very quiet at the minute.a lot of rumours going around but nothing concrete.they wont get 2500 at the markets field if they dont make a few big name signings in the off season i'm afraid.
