Pick your player to leave the squad

**pete** · 05/12/2003, 1:54 PM

Seeing as we got close to 30 first team squad members this season & need to have smaller better quality squad with new players coming in that should mean a good few players need to be released.

Pick 10 players from current squad you would release if were Dolinio now.

Deccie,
O'Grady
Warren,
Andrews,
etc...

It's difficult to name ten - I don't think it will be that much of an axe-wielding policy. For me it will be:

Noel MOONEY (Goalkeeper) - is not likely to get in before Devine and I believe we have adequate cover in McNulty. Deserves a first-team opportunity elsewhere.
Stephen NAPIER (Defender)
Declan DALY (Defender)
Conor O'GRADY (Midfielder) - has just detoriated as a player over the last two seasons
Dave WARREN (Midfielder) - had made no progress after two years. Will probably want away

I'd agree with Seanie's evaluation, but I'd add CP to the list.

He's fallen down the pecking order behind GOC, JOF, Behan and probably our new striker. Doyle is used as a winger, but can also play up front. That leaves CP fighting with Nolan to be sixth choice. Can't see him accepting that.

I'm not sure Carey has much of a future either, especially if we bring in another defender.

**pete** · 05/12/2003, 3:23 PM

Lot may depend on how much Dolan tries to move to fulltime squad & how many of the u-21 squad can continue in that competition next year.

**jofyisgod** · 05/12/2003, 5:25 PM

Warren-deserves his chance somewhere else
Deccie- retired, so that counts
Naps-left anyway
Colin P-Never gonna get in the team

Keep the rest

**patsh** · 05/12/2003, 6:48 PM

Andrews
Warren
Daly
Naps are gone.
Maybe Casey would be better off moving on I think.

If we do sign Frost, Fenn,
the 1st eleven

Mickey,
Hoggie, Dan, Derek, (I'd prefer Benno) Frost

Doyle, Colin T, George, Kearney

Flynnie, Fenn

2nd eleven
(Mooney)
Carey, Kevin Murray, Benno, Billy
Mucka, Greg, Conor, Nwanko,
CP, Behan

Thats 22 players + a good few u-21s.
We hardly need anymore than that but, can we keep a squad as expensive as this?

**Gary** · 05/12/2003, 7:09 PM

I'd chose:
Mooney
Andrews
Deccie
Carey
Mulconroy
Chidozie
CPoB
Lordan (i know he is young, but what ive seen, he aint up to eL seniors. long way off in fact)
Behan
O Grady (decent player, but doesnt deserve a full time contract)
Ditto Ryan Casey

In fact the above are all decent players, but imo, none of the above should be even in contention for a place in the starting11 of a team with aspirations of winning the league.

just noticed, that could actually be someones starting 11.

**tiktok** · 05/12/2003, 9:24 PM

I think that if we are going to make the move to full time the club will have about 20 full timers and the squad will be fleshed out with the U21's.

McNulty is probably good enough cover for Devine so Mooney wouldn't be a huge loss.
Deccie already gone, Carey isn't getting a look in, I'd lose Coughlan as we have Bennett and K Murray for cover, but it won't happen.
O'Grady to Derry, Casey and Mucka are surplus to requirement.
CP to Waterford is rumoured, Warren and Chodize haven't impressed.

That's my ten. Don't see the point in losing any of the younger lads who qualify for the U21's next season.

**rambler14** · 05/12/2003, 11:05 PM

On behalf of Cobh Ramblers I would like to welcome Dave Warren and John Andrews on a permanent basis to the club. Also Colin P O'Brian, Noel Mooney and Conor O'Grady.

You would be doing very well getting a line up like that ........ You'd want to make sure that the contracts involve a bit of PR work aswell, to sore out the crowds. How many schools down there. the team should be going around giving out free tickets. Even if the club just made money on the shop and bar.

**DolansWaistcoat** · 07/12/2003, 12:42 PM

I'D get rid of..........hmmm let me think.

Flynny,George,Hoggy,Colin T,D.Murray,DOYLER,Billy,Fenn,Greg,Devine.

Thats my ten in that order.

Before anyone has a fart attack,thats my ten best city players,in that order.
Anyone agree with it?

I wont rate him until i see him come up with the goods.

Anyway ... it aint in the bag yet with him and i hope not with the kinda money being mentioned. There is no way he is worth that money at all not matter what way you say it.

**DolansWaistcoat** · 07/12/2003, 1:04 PM

Have we signed Fenn yet or not,whats the story like?
Just say he does sign he would have to be in City's top ten players surely.I don't know about the wages,it could be Horse sh!t.

**Éanna** · 09/12/2003, 1:02 PM

Declan DALY (Defender) he's retired anyways, hasn't he?
Derek COUGHLAN (Defender) why we ever signed him I dunno

Billy WOODS (Defender/Midfielder) just not good wnough
Dave WARREN (Midfielder) never gonna make an impact
Ryan CASEY (Midfielder) might be handy as cover, but I'd hope we could do better.

I suppose one or two of the strikers will have to go now that we've signed Fenn. Behan and Nolan are the obvious candidates but I think they both have potnetial. Maybe loan them out and see what happens

I really dont think Derek is as bad as people are saying. We let in less, AFAIK, when he was in the team than when Benno was. Derek was part of the very good passing Bohs side that won the league last year, he can do it's just up to us to get it out of him.

I'd say CP will go.
Dont think Woods is up to much, like to see Casey tried at left back.
I'd say Warren will go
Andrews will be gone
O'Grady, not the player he once was
Carey might be gone, the only thing is that Hoggie could well be gone himself after a while, he'll be doing his Blackhall Place exams to become a Solicitor and then have to do a course and then work placement. That'll take up a fair bit of Hoggies time, he mightnt be able to play ever match.
I'd wonder about Mooney staying on
