Obviously he's thrown in the towel on the integrity of not tapping up players before their contracts end. : )

Rumours of a few players leaving Harps and a few retiring. Could be a rough off season for us and a tougher 2017 ahead.

Cheers Ollie.

Just getting in ahead of the pack. Now that we're safe from relegation, the talk of a 2017 relegation battle can start immediately.

The recent Sligo tradition of tapping up Bohs players continues.
Presumably, like the others, he will be let go before the season is out.
Good luck to Akinade,

Are players not free to negotiate with other parties in the last 6 months of a pro contract? Obviously in the LoI that would be the majority of the 40 week contract period anyway!

I hope to god Conor Powell thing is just paper talk.

**Mr A** · 28/10/2016, 6:57 PM

Rebel Radio linked Cork's Ian Turner with Harps.

Martin Russell must been staying it's a typical Martin signing. ****

**gael353** · 28/10/2016, 11:02 PM

Sweet jesus conor powell. The russells must be staying and such a non quality signing = little or no money

**Charlie Darwin** · 29/10/2016, 1:04 AM

Powell was never the same player after he came back from England, but he is at least an actual left back, which would be a new concept for Limerick.

They'd be better off signing Baden Powell!

Heard they were scouting him also

**ger121** · 30/10/2016, 8:57 AM

Talk on our forum that Buckley and Lopes are off to Bray. Wouldn't surprise me as our budget will be even lower next season.

Why is that? Your attendances are holding up pretty well and the stadium deal has the debt monkey off your back.

Yes they are.
I'm sure that any club who wanted to retain a player would have talked to him by then.
