New Players for Next Year

**Lim till i die** · 05/12/2016, 2:45 PM

The dennehys are under contract at pats.

God help us I actually checked

**bluewhitearmy** · 05/12/2016, 4:04 PM

Pats are supposedly trying to get rid of em still though but I can't see us going after em tbh. Unless Paudie is leaving or we plan on playing Robbie left back we are probably done at CB. I'd much rather just keep Greene than sign Billy Dennehy too both have a lot of talent that you probably don't see enough but id be way more hopeful we would get more from Greener.

We may aswell just forget McCabe even if we are after him Pats and Bray are too so he will end up at one of them. On strikers I'd actually forgotten John O Flynn somehow great one to have on the bench but we seen with his injuries last year we will still definitely need a main striker. Had a look at whats available in Ireland and all I found any way reasonable were Enda Curran and Podge Cunningham at Galway and Kurtis Byrne of Bohs, if we could I'd definitely take Byrne got 10 goals last year for Bohs and some crackers.

I'd love to know what the hold up with Shaun Kelly is he lives in Limerick has been here years and wants to stay so you would think it would be straightforward to get him done. I hope Russell isn't looking to replace him cos I can't see us getting better and we should be concentrating on areas we actually really need it.

Gary McCabe would be nice, Gary O'Neill must be handy the best of the 1st div, don't know if Russell knows him well.

Give Him chances and He will take them, but we won't be creating anywhere near as much as last season, and apart from scoring, He didn't contribute all that much

Final warning, those who fail to give Him His due will be damned to an eternity of Colin Patrick O' Brien up front.

Oh god Can't Pass memories

Its not player news but wasn't worth starting a new thread for. What would people have been happy with this season before we had made any signings or there was rumour of signings? People happy with just staying up and mid-table or were expectations higher? And secondly how have the signings so far altered peoples expectations?

**Lim till i die** · 09/12/2016, 1:57 PM

Midtable.

Harps, Galway, Bohs, Drogs etc these are all ambitionless dirt.

After that wouldn't be asking too much to sneak ahead of a Pats or a Sligo or a Derry or a Bray.

So far my expectations have been lowered.

To include us in the ambitionless dirt.

Need to be shipping in a few handy players sharpish. Mark my words if push comes to shove we will NOT pick up enough points against drogs or harps when it matters.

**Jofspring** · 09/12/2016, 2:55 PM

Before the signings started I suppose I would have been very optimistic like a lot of people of really pushing on, especially with the talk of money to be spent etc... Right now I'd happily take mid-table but I reckon a lot of the people heading to the Markets Field the last few years will have very high expectations and I wouldn't blame them with the talk that was coming from the club.

**osarusan** · 09/12/2016, 5:12 PM

As we fail to sign decent players, the calibre of player we need to sign to avoid a relegation battle gets higher.

**thomas72** · 09/12/2016, 5:41 PM

Usually get a Xmas present season ticket I don't want it this year the club has shown no ambition at all of all the BS they sang to us on how we will sign quality to challenge for Europe such a let down relegation battle all season long short in every area on the pitch.

**sadloserkid** · 09/12/2016, 6:05 PM

Maybe I'm in a minority here but I'd have been happy with midtable all along. I pay no attention to the club line anymore, I decided a long time ago that POS has great, big scrapbook at home that he wants to fill. Hence the sporadic off the wall comments. We were in the First Division last year, we got relegated the season before that when Uncle Pat decided to close his wallet until it was too late. If we finish 8th or 9th this season and avoid a relegation scrap I won't be too upset. It's still progress. Showing ambition doesn't mean throwing away money that we don't have anyway. All that being said... I would like to see a few more signed before Christmas.

**LK37oldskool** · 09/12/2016, 6:07 PM

Yup, agree that my own expectation has been massively downgraded taking into account the players signed so far. I won't be getting a season ticket either unless some better players are brought in. Definitely no European challenge in that squad.

**LK37oldskool** · 09/12/2016, 6:51 PM

I hear Greene gone to Bray. Options getting very limited.

That is ******* ridiculous from limerick he should of been one of the first resigned we are going to be ****e

**Lim till i die** · 09/12/2016, 7:37 PM

Gentlemen.

It's officially time to panic.

I expect an announcement about a big announcement any day now. A link up with the Harlem Globetrotters is my bet.

**Market's Field** · 09/12/2016, 8:01 PM

I missed all this negativity last season

**Lim till i die** · 09/12/2016, 8:15 PM

I was starting to give out around July in fairness...

All seriousness we knew we were going to win the first division in April. The fact that since then we have failed to secure a striker and a centre half is a ****in disgrace.

I don't know who is worse Russell or the chairman

**topfan** · 09/12/2016, 8:33 PM

Just three rumors i heard today. Don't know how true they are but they came from a good source. First Sean Russell won't be signed due to "conflict of interest", secondly Sean Kelly also not to be signed back as he is not wanted by Russell and finally the Wexford man investing in club is true, he's a friend of Pat and willing to invest.

Will be interesting to see which if any of these come true but i think they have to sign Kelly even if just for cover.

**Jofspring** · 09/12/2016, 8:52 PM

As long as the club don't do to Kelly what they did to Tracey two years ago. Say they didn't need him, end up signing no one and have to bring him in a few games into the season.

Greene going is a big loss when you consider we were supposed to add to the quality we already had.
