Transfer Rumours

[celticV3]

You'll be waiting for a long time for that seeing as you released him! :p
Did we?:eek: We let such a hot prospect slip through the nets? Listen to this, if this comes about i'll tell you the best thing about judgey is his WAG:D

[oriel]

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


Dundalk dont pay transfer fees, if there is a price, he wont be joining us

Good to see we are keeping McGill and Flood. Darren Meenan, Derek Doyle and Paul Marney all new signings as well as Kevin Doherty and Peter Hynes which was already mentioned.

What do Dundalk fans think of Marney??

I was starting to think he was finished last year which was a shame because I always kind of rated him.

Meenan is a nobody

Doherty is crap.

And Hynes could go either way.

BUT...........

It's the squads the likes of Shels, Fingal and Waherfurr will build which will prevent Limerick challenging. :o

[Longfordian]

Doherty's not crap at this level but he is injury prone. I thought Waterford were cutting their budget ths year significantly hence why Cronin resigned?. He was in for the Town job but was making demands about his potential budget. Will they be "about to go out of business" halfway through next season again or what?. Bah humbug..

[holidaysong]

I'm very disappointed that Marney was let go. He is a great passer of the ball and can read the game well. He's quite pacey too. He is a great squad player and his versatility means he can fill a hole anywhere in the team - he even played in goals for us last season as we came back from 1-0 down to beat Fingal 3-2. He was kept out of the starting eleven due to there being better players in the positions he can play but he always gave 100% when he did play and wherever he played. Perhaps his versatility means that it is hard to say exactly what his best position is!

[CSFShels]

Meenan is a nobody

Doherty is crap.


Absolutely ridiculous statements.

[Black and White]

SO any news from monaghan??? not signing any of our rejects from last season...theres plenty there for ye to sign!!!lol

[SligoBrewer]

Dundalk dont pay transfer fees, if there is a price, he wont be joining us

If there's no fee, he's not leaving us! End of! I'd hate to leave such a committed player go for nothing!;)

[Red&White Rover]

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.

Possibly the large chunk of the season he missed through injury?:rolleyes:

[brianw82]

Judge forgot how to play football in '08. Absolutely useless whenever I saw him.

Saying that, for 3 months in '07 he was the best striker in the league. If he hits that form again, we'll regret letting him go. But maybe that's what he needs, a new challenge?

[Magicme]

Absolutely ridiculous statements.

Agree. Meenan is quality.


SO any news from monaghan??? not signing any of our rejects from last season...theres plenty there for ye to sign!!!lol

Plenty of news from Monaghan but we would rather keep it out of the mainstream until everyone has signed on the dotted line.

[ndrog]

its allright magicme there all excited to back playing in the top leauge , its been a looooong time :eek:

[Black and White]

Yeah good man...least we are sure of our club being there next season...so are monaghan!!!:p

[oriel]

Decent player, has done a good job for us, the one thing I noticed over the past few season was that he rarely stood out, for eg he rarely turned a game for us, but still a solid perfomer none the less, still has a few years left, but only in the First Div.

[oriel]

If there's no fee, he's not leaving us! End of! I'd hate to leave such a committed player go for nothing!;)

Well he wont be joining us then SB !!

We wont be going down the route of our southern county neighbours, wages are expensive enough w/o having to pay for a transfer.

[Lim till i die]

Absolutely ridiculous statements.

Meenan wouldn't get within five hundred feet of the Limerick team therefore I don't rate him

Centre Halfs of Dohertys "quality" are ten a penny at this level

[LeixlipRed]

Yes, of course they are. But it's ok, you can have Doherty next season after we're promoted :)

[CSFShels]

Meenan wouldn't get within five hundred feet of the Limerick team therefore I don't rate him

Centre Halfs of Dohertys "quality" are ten a penny at this level
Judging from what I saw 4 times this season, he'd be first choice.

[superfrank]

Doherty was easily our most consistent centre-back last season. He is a class player and Shels will be better with him there.

I only saw Meenan once this year when we played UCD and he was probably their best player that night. He also scored a cracker in that game.

[The Lilywhites]

David Cassidy to Shels. That's disappointing, to put it mildly.

[LeixlipRed]

Not for us though :)

[The Lilywhites]

No, what's disappointing for you is that you're in the First Division again next season.

;)

[Jersey Cow]

Cassidy has found his level at First Divisiion....wasn't good enough with Rovers in the Premier...good First Division player though....but thats all...

[CSFShels]

Thats absolute rubbish. He was excellent every time I saw him for Rovers, and the shock when he was let go from Rovers kinda indicated that it wasn't just me who felt that way.

[DmanDmythDledge]

According to who? Rovers fans were pretty dissapointed when he left them.

[eamo1]

Not really a transfer but Brian Kerr is the front runner for the Cork City job.

[Aaron]

Kevin McHugh set to sign for Linfield, both clubs have agreed a fee.

[Flexy]

Any idea the fee involved, hope kenny gets the funds to bring someone else in for the other side

[Sam_Heggy]

Too good for the Irish league, real shame he didn't get a decent run up front for the muckers, he would have scored a bag full given the same supply as Farren got this season.

Watch you don't hurt yourself when falling off that high horse!

He is moving to the biggest club on the island ffs

[holidaysong]

It is in today's Indo that Dundalk are after 19 year old Shaun Kelly from Hearts. According to this (http://www.skysports.com/football/player/0,19754,11790_375263,00.html), he is from Donegal.. Any Finn Harps fans know anything about him?

It also says that Harpoel Singh has agreed to sign for us...and the usual about Mansaram!

I see Sean is signing the same players for yet another team. Have ye been linked with Chris Turner or Liam Burns yet ? :p.

I don't know what he see's in Mansaram tbh. He's so over-rated.

He's been told he can find a new club for himself as none of the youth team are ever given a chance at hearts. He made the bench for the first team once iirc.
Was at harps on loan last season but got called back after a week due to injuries at Hearts.

[Ash]

Colm Jinks & Jason McCartney (both ATFC) gone to Longford apparently

he's 1 of seamie coleman's best mates. hopefully seamie will bring him to cookie's attention

[Sam_Heggy]

Might be a big club but its still a sh!te league, bar 2 clubs the IL is poor and a player of Kevins calibre should be playing at a higher level.

The Harps players said he is a quality player, disappointing he had to leave after only a week.
As he is from Donegal I doubt too much Higsy will be interested, Conor will know all about him but Cook is cute enough too and id say that would be Kellys preferred destination would be Sligo, given the opportunity.

[holidaysong]

Thanks for the info guys.

[loibigfan]

was chattin 2 shaun kelly 2day and he was tellin me hes goin 2 dundalk dis wk 2 discuss a contract...hes a great reader of da game..hes da same age as seamie coleman..seamie was a sub 4 his underage teams til he was 15..shaun played at sweeper wile underage..connors try'd 2 get him on loan wen he was at bohs...

[Black and White]

I don't know what he see's in Mansaram tbh. He's so over-rated.

As a matter of fact we have been linked to both these players as well as Matt Judge and Danny Ventre!

Liam Burns is a top defender and played really well with Bohs last season...he is out of contract atm and with Bohs having to cut their wage bill could be a long shot signing for us as our owner has given Connor a considerable wage budget to work with this year.We are taking on 7-8 full timers!
Chris Turner played really well with ye until he moved to Bohs...didnt really get a look in there but could be a useful signing!
Im very weary about Singh, always injured...did he play much for ye or was he always injured?
Looking forward to seeing Mansaram...hes got alot of pace and very strong on the ball but isnt an out and out goal scorer!which is something that we need!

[Martinho II]

i was speaking to alan kirby in longford last friday and he confirmed the only clubs that are interested in him are first division clubs. when I asked him about the premier division he said that noone from that division have approached him yet.. wonder is there a slight chance that he could resign for us considering that he is engaged to a longford lass and is building a house in longford..;)

What age is Kirby...isnt he well into his 30's now...himself and ollie Cahill are past their best..cant see much interest from Premier Division clubs for either but in saying that we signed James keddy when we were last in the Premeir and he had a brilliant season with us!he was into his 30's then to!

[stann]

Kirby still has a couple of good seasons left in him.
I'd say we're one of the Div 1 sides interested, but whether we could lure him back home away from his new house is another thing! :D

I'd say ye would get Matthew Judge but I highly doubt your gonna sign Danny Ventre as he only signed a new contract before the season ended.

As for Singh he actually played very well only got injured while with us near the end of the season. He's capable of scoring some great goals. And finally, I wouldn't put to much faith in Mansaram, he looks good but I still find him too over-rated.

[DRDoc]

just to note that ventre is not a former player of connors

Now, don't be fibbing. Keddy is 35. He played for you in the 01-02 season. Well into his 30s??

[Black and White]

Yeah I think most Dundalk supporters can make the connection of a scouse lad signing for a scouse manager!Quite obv that he signed for Cook!!he sings his praises week in week out on MSN if hes not giving our about referees...very good manager though!

[gael353]

Limerick, if they do sign any players will only sign them if their living, studying or working in the mid west. Its not a Basque thing its just for economic reasons. We are in no rush to keep up with the Jones's. Rumour in the first is that there will be 5/6 clubs going amateur this year.
