Transfer Rumours

[sligoman]

sorry, i have to laugh.... :D

sounds horribly familiar!! :DThought the same when I was reading it...ye were warned of it too though and still appointed him manager so you can't afford to laugh;)

[Maroon 7]

Dunno if this is a "transfer" as such, but Jeff Kenna set to be appointed our new gaffer. Interview was held last Monday with him, plans being finalised ATM and he's flying back over.

In the paper today says he's prepared to live down here full-time if he signs, which is essential and hopefully true.

I've heard that before.

If Darren Quigley can get back to where he was before his Derry move then that's a fantastic signing.

were did you get that he was doing bad with us
typical UCD bull****,

He is a very good keeper, did really well anytime he got on, just unlucky
with injuries and competing with a keeper on form with more experience,
very few clubs in ireland i wouldnt see him first choice.

[Black and White]

Im loving the new season already...and it hasnt even started!!!:D

Its all about us at the moment in the papers etc and for years we barely got a mention anywhere!!m Good times ahead i hope!!lol fingers crossed!

[jinxy lilywhite]

a couple of years ago the only ever news was bad news.
Long may it last

[Boo_Boy]

It will last maybe 2 seasons, is that long enough?

i think thats his point, thats how i took it anyway. quigley was unlucky to get injured so early on and then unlucky again for doherty to have a great season. would have liked to see him stay, but costs and the desire for first team football, c'est la vie.

he is only going on loan, so i assume iof we get in **** he will be
called back, so best for us, and Quigley, and Dundalk get a cracker
keeper for a season. Good move all round.

as for what was meant by poor_student, everything he posts on here about
any decent size club in ireland is bitterness, so i just automatically assume it.
:D

[shantykelly]

aye, but he doesnt go to a real university so dont worry about it.

Like ourselves at Sligo Rovers you will only fully realise just how much the first division is ignored by everyone when you get back in the premier division and all the extra coverage really makes the season all the more enjoyable.

And I for one hope ye are back to stay because Irish soccer needs clubs like Dundalk in its top division.

too right, looking forward to a few trips up there next season.
great memories of visiting there in the past

[Black and White]

I for one am esp looking forward to great weekends away in Galway, Sligo, Derry and Cork next season!!!lol :D:D

Thanks, Gary, hysterical reaction overreaction to an innocuous post. I was referring to the fact that Quigley's progress came to an unfortunate halt with his injury and it would be nice to see him play regular football again. Care to reference any of my bitter posts?

[CSFShels]

Paul Crowley to Shamrock Rovers

[Blue Man]

David McAllister has signed for Shels apparently and John Gill is favourite for the Drogheda job so I hear.

[dcfc1928]

Ollie Cahill undergoing medical and moving to Derry City.

[Krstic]

Seamus Sharkey on loan from Derry to Sligo and David McDaid on loan to Finn Harps according to local press.

[adamd164]

Derry fans heard anything about Liam Kearney? I heard a rumour he was up talking to ye about a contract.

Haven't heard that one.

[holidaysong]

He's favourite for a job that might not exist?

[Sheridan]

He's favourite for a job that might not exist?
I thought Doolin was the civil servant? :confused:

[Blue Man]

Apparantley it looks like they will survive. Speaking to a current player during the week and he says they will be around next season. Doolin has definately gone though

[Philly]

Declan O'Brien is going on trial with the Portland Timbers.

touch wood things go well for him

[sligofan4ever]

Doe's anyone know if Seamus Sharkey's loan to Sligo Rovers from Derry officially a done deal ?

[Aaron]

Doe's anyone know if Seamus Sharkey's loan to Sligo Rovers from Derry officially a done deal ?

Not too sure but Stephen Kenny said in today's Derry Journal that he would be with Sligo on loan for the season, with McDaid at Harps for the season

[cestlavie]

Dont know if young Sharkey is up to it, abit like young Corny Gallagher at Harps.

[sligofan4ever]

He's not going to be a starting 11 player IMO. Only signed as cover for Peers and Almeida i'd say.

[Sam_Heggy]

I don't know, I think he's highly rated in Derry, they reckon he has bags of ability. I suppose Sligo will find out soon enough.

[Aaron]

He recently signed a new contract, so Kenny obviously see's the potential in him. He needs to fill out abit IMO though to be a centre-half

[sligoman]

McDaid will do a good job in the First Division. He was alright with us and up against lower opposition in the First, he should do well.

[Rovers fan]

not sure if he would be suited to the type of football though, he's a bit small. Obviously there's a lot of hoofing in the prem division as well but not quite as much. Looks a good prospect all the same.

I'd have him back here next season if I could. Was very impressed by the lad.

[cestlavie]

He is a big enough lad for his age but he is very one paced, Ive seen him a number of times playing for the reserves. He has a knack of being in the right places at right time for tap ins etc but Im not convinced. Wish him well but just cant see it. He will never be centre half perhaps full back our midfielder.
By the way I really like Peers/Almeida partnership:ball:

[Black and White]

According to LMFM radio Fabio O'Brien is signing tonight for us and Darren Mansaram signed last night!!

[The Fox]

According to LMFM radio Fabio O'Brien is signing tonight for us and Darren Mansaram signed last night!!

They are both quality signings but are you part time or full time?
If these are full time where is all of the money coming from - these guys arent cheap so i fear dundalk could go the road of some other clubs!!??

[Black and White]

Must be true about mansaram...even wikipedia has him for us now!!that was quick!!lol

[Dunny]

Some players will be part time and some full time.

[Black and White]

Some players will be part time and some full time.

Connor said he wants a panel of 6-7 full time players and the rest will be part time...he said he wants squad of 15 to 16 players and youths making up the rest!

[eamoss]

According to LMFM radio Fabio O'Brien is signing tonight for us and Darren Mansaram signed last night!!
No one has signed yet AFAIK Mansaram has only agreed terms but has yet to put pen to paper.

Must be true about mansaram...even wikipedia has him for us now!!that was quick!!lol

HA!

Dont make me laugh any gob shíte can edit Wikipedia.

Unless its on DundalkFC.com it isnt official.

[Dunny]

You can never say never but our Board are not a reckless bunch! The club is running in profit, not including prize money and our owner is always there to take up any slack, for example, the 50k to upgrade the pitch. With a Youth Development Centre due in 2009 additional income streams available. The genesis of a niffty enough side on the way if even half of unconfirmed signings turn out to be true...the cycle of football eh!

[sligoman]

Matthew Judge to Dundalk.

[Dunny]

Do you rate him?

[sligofan4ever]

Matthew Judge to Dundalk.

Has this been confirmed anywhere yet ?

Quote from Dunny: "Do you rate him ?"

Well he had a great season in 2007 but something went wrong along the lines for 2008, only scored once. I would give him a few games before I could rate him again.

[Rovers1]

Matthew Judge to Dundalk.


Sligoman and his magic crystal ball:D

[celticV3]

Matthew Judge to Dundalk.

We would want to be getting a nice price for him, quality player and a natural born striker if ever there was one, I'd settle for around 20,000?:D

You'll be waiting for a long time for that seeing as you released him! :p
