LOI Squads 2013

[Ezeikial]

Dundalk

Peter Cherrie
TBC Back up

Dane Massey
Eoghan Osborne
Andy Boyle
Mark Rossiter
Chris Shields
TBC

Stephen O'Donnell
Stephen McDonnell (should be fun if both start)
Richie Towell
John Dillon
Mark Ward
TBC

Tiarnan Mulvenna
Kurtis Byrne
Patrick Hoban
TBC

John Sullivan and John Mountney make up the 16 announced so far, including Keith Ward (not Mark Ward as above)

Stephen Kenny has said he intends to sign 3 TBC's - goalkeeper, another striker and probably a left sided attacking player :

http://www.dundalkfc.com/stephen-kenny-qa-part-2/

Of the 3 youth players he mentions (Fergal McMahon, Sami Osobe and Conor McDonald) Chippy McDonald has already made a number of first team appearences and even got a couple of 'man of the match' awards.

Most Dundalk supporters would like to see an extra experienced centre half (the 4th TBC!), but it does not seem likely

[oriel]

Yep, I forgot two and mixed up Wardy, actually didnt Mark Ward play for Everton ofcourse its Keith Ward, as for John Mountney, dont know how I forgot him, as he was one of the few players who had a decent season last year.

Didn't realise Dane Massey signed for Dundalk. Smashing full back IMO. Good squad for Dundalk. Don't know anything about Hoban or Byrne (bar reputation) but if either of them pans out, Dundalk look like they could mach most teams

[oriel]

Hoban is from Mervue Utd, scored over 10 goals last year, think he's only 21, had a season with Bristol City previously. Kurtis is a son of Paul Byrne (ex Celtic, and a host of LOI clubs), signed from Ross County, but was on loan at Brechin.

And apart from above, I dont think many DLK fans know much more.


The above panel (pending another striker), possibly may be good enough for 6th place,there's a good balance, m/f in particular looks very strong. If we managed mid table, I think that would be a great turnaround after last season's 'effort'.

Speaking of, that was surely one of the worst ever PD sides from us, so bad if Mons had survived, I'm convinved we would have finished bottom.

Ex Bray isn't he?
Always thought he was very solid alright.

[Jofspring]

Have Derek O'Brien, Kluciar and Collins left the club?

Derek O Brien played one or two friendlies but have heard he was released. klucair hasn't been seen this season so I'd say released and Collins has been training and playing friendlies but hasn't signed yet.

Not a massive squad with Europe, Setanta, Lg Cup, FAI Cup and League games this year.
I take it a good few of the 19's will have been signed on 1st team forms too??

[Jofspring]

Doesn't look like it. He was supposed to have been poor in both friendlies he played and wasn't involved in the Wexford one. If he is gone to Scotland with the team then I take it he has or will sign. We are still light at the back so he may sign yet.

Hugh McFadden and Shane McGinty have featured in pre-season, would expect McGinty in particular to be more involved with first team this season. Good player. Also forgot Jake Dykes on that list, he'll be around the squad too.

Someone called Santiago came on vs Hardwicke.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Don't think Ventre has actually signed yet. Terms were agreed but he needs to pass a medical first. Got injured while on trial in the UK. Supposedly.

Ciaran Kelly to be added aswell.
Not a massive squad at all, maybe one of the smallest in the league. But Baraclough has said he prefers work with a small squad rather than having players not getting game time. He could of easily gone to the board demanding big money for players after winning the league but hes been patient and brought in 3 players that he tought would fit in and let 5/6 go. There wasnt pressure on him to trim the squad either, at Thursdays AGM Rovers reported a profit for the fifth year in a row. He seems to put a lot of emphasis on the running costs of the club along with managing/coaching the team
