JOF possible re signing. Very promising I hear.
If we get him back and then get these 3 or 4 from UK of good quality then it will be the best squad we have had in years, load of times we have had a good starting 11 but no bench but if we get these done then you are looking at a few decent players as back ups.
JOF= John o Flynn?????
Yeah, sorry I thought it was obvious.
To old and injury prone for premier league
Certainly not as first choice striker but good to come off bench for last twenty minutes if needed . Lots of experience.
O'Flynn would be completely reliant on good service and I'd be ok with that because we know he can be lethal with half a chance.
Well I wouldn't say too old at all he is still ridiculously fit and the injuries aren't an age thing he has had em all his career. Like JOF(spring not O'Flynn) said give him service and he is well capable of putting em away would be a hell of a lot better as an option off the bench than some young lad that has never had a run in LOI and if we get a main striker from UK would leave us with them JOF Clarke and Mulhall that can play up top which I'd be happy with tbh. And on the service thing has to be said we did create an awful lot with Lee J,Clarke and Turner supplying Vinny during that run no reason they can't create enough next season for all Turners faults he has a fantastic delivery of a ball.
We still need another top centre half paudie ( if signs) squad player at best.
Robbie again squad player 3rd and 4th choice centre half's there just not good enough for premier league level the chances we give up per game against very poor sides is worrying that next season will be punished.
All about opinions but I wouldn't agree at all about Robbie imo hes a fine defender get him fit and more interested than he was last year and he is easily good enough to start in premier. He is putting in serious work too this off season from what I'm told.
Paudie is a squad player at best at the moment. As long as we sign a good centre half anyway. But he's only 18 and if/when he signs in England or wherever and gets a fair crack at it, we could be looking at a very good player in a few years.
And if Robbie's training with Balla he'll still need a proper preseason to get rid of that backside. Haven't seen anything to say that any Balla players are any fitter than your run of the mill junior player.
Training with Balla is just part of the work he is doing and he will still obviously be going through pre-season with Joe Gamble but the likes of him and Lee J will be coming back from a way better starting position having trained with Balla than lads that have taken the time off.
John O'Flynn would be a fantastic signing imo, his movement in and around the box is among the best in the country. Having a player of his calibre and with his level of professionalism can only be a good thing for some of the younger/inexperienced lads. Perfect option to have if we are struggling to break teams down
Anyone hear Mike Aherne this morning?
No missed it. What was said?Originally Posted by bluewhitearmy
Was hoping to find out myself one the lads was telling me he was talking about players from the UK.
Spoke about looking for two strikers.
Jaysus I wonder is that with John O'Flynn too with rumour going round that he is re-signing. Hope he doesn't forget a back up midfielder cos drop off from our starting 3 to subs is way too big.
Was told two deals done with CF n DEF from UK, just waiting to be announced.
Both from same club?
