    Surprised by that. Conor Winn essentially first choice there now?

    Winn must be up there with the luckiest players this league has ever seen. Far as I can see, the only reason he keeps getting contracts is he's nine feet tall.

    And yet, he still struggles to catch a ball above anyones head.

    Nay, I'll correct that to, he struggles to catch a ball.

    Conor gets a lot of unfair stick from people who don't realise that he is in mortal danger every time he plays. There is a magnetic field running from post to post, an inch above the ground, and if he strays beyond the goal line, or jumps, he will be incinerated. Also, his gloves have magnetic strips as well so catching the ball sets that off as well.

    Ex-Youth, Shane Nolan, has confirmed he's left Waterford. Would be welcome back at Ferrycarrig, I'm sure.

    Ex Shels, Bray, and Waterford, Gary Dempsey, has confirmed he's taking up management at LSL side, Greystones.

    I don't know much about Keating, but Nathan Boyle has looked a promising player on the couple of occasions I have seen him

    I think it's a decent addition.

    The most depressing piece of that article is all these other unknown prospects available for prices ranging between €3m and €15m. Richie available for €200k... sickening.

    The difference though surely is that Towell only has 6 months left on his contract? Not much bargaining to be done with that.

    I can't wait until a couple of years from now when people are talking about how whatever team "only paid £20,000" or whatever for him, like they do with Coleman.

    Dundalk could have the geezer tied down to a decade long contract and he'd still struggle to fetch over £1m. He'll also do well to get a few minutes of prem football in his entire career, nevermind reach Coleman heights.

    That all sounds very negative and bitter but I promise I have no hidden agenda, I just don't think he'll reach the levels others do.

    I agree with you. No doubt the guy is extremely talented and probably one of the best LOI players there has been in a while but from what I have seen of him he makes a few mistakes in every game I have watched. Mistakes you would not get away with at a higher level. There must be something stopping teams from snapping him up yet.

    I think that what is depressing is that transfers between lower league clubs in England dwarf what would be payed for an even higher calibre LoI player. How much did Salmon go from Scotland to Derby (I think) and Holohan from Livingstone to Norwich..and its not as if they were significantly improved after their spells in Scotland.

    Conor Sammon? Wigan paid £1.2 million or something when they were in the Premier. To be fair, he never looked a good player in Ireland and inexplicably started banging them in for Kilmarnock.
