Are you abandoning the Wexford only approach this year?

we had players from outside wexford last year with one player from both wicklow and kilkenny. We have under age players from kilkenny and carlow.

so wexford only went out window long ago. :)

think Wallace changed his line from "wexford based local players" to "local based players" last year as long as long as Holden willing to become amateur would see no problem in it and Waterford not that far away.

what does he look like GUFC?? Few of us went ot Finn Park last night. Take it it was mostly trialists for Galway, only recognised O Brien, Faherty, O Shea, and (tries not to laugh) David O' Dowd, who was obviously on trial.

Packie is actually from Kilkenny so Mick wouldn't even have to re-adjust his previous adjustment. :)
Plus he's an excellent 'keeper, would like to see him stay in the league.

Surfaces at some point every year. Very little chance of him coming to Derry, just not the kind of player we/Kenny signs. I'm sure the Divine Ego will find somewhere if he really wants it but it won't be in Derry anyway.

If he jumped on front of me I wouldn't have a clue who he is. He was left back i know. We had a few trialists,. Seamus Conneely, Jonaton Keane, Paul Sinnott, Cian McBrien, Shane Guthrie were playing with Iarla Davoren and Jason Molloy came on as subs. The rest were lads on trial

If we remain in the league we'll be signing Emeka Onwubiko from Bray, Damien Rushe from Longford, Thomas McGauley and Kevin Williamson.

Lots more on trial with us including John McGuinness and Daithi Garry from Longford.

Not sure about Holmes, he's probably only going to be playing at left-back until Chris Butler is fit again. Dosen't he have a few international caps at senior level for Northern Ireland ?

Ger O'Brien has moved to Derry:


DERRY City have added another new face to their squad, with Ger O'Brien signing from Shamrock Rovers.
The 24-year-old defender is sure to add more strength and depth to an otherwise depleted back-line, with Clive Delaney missing the opening game of the season through suspension.
"Ger can play left or right back, while last season whenever they came to the Brandywell he actually played centre-back," said Stephen Kenny.
"He's a player with a good engine who likes getting forward, so he's a very good attacking full-back."
The Dubliner who was Rovers' Player of the Year in 2007 has also represented his country at Under 23 level. Hehe netted in the Republic of Ireland's 2-1 defeat to Belgium last October, while he came up against team-mate Thomas Stewart in the same International Challenge Trophy competition.
O'Brien moves to the Brandywell after becoming surplus to requirements with Michael O'Neill's new look Rovers side.
"Rovers have so many players, I think around 24 players, and I think their new manager wants to bring in some players from Scotland, so it was an opportunity for us to get Ger.
"At the end of the day we only have five defenders at the club and Clive is suspended for the opening few games of the season, so we needed to get another defender. Ger's versatility will be important.
"He has a good attitude and good mentally, but he still has a lot to prove and more importantly he's hungry but I think he'll be a good addition for us."
Midfielder Kevin Deery is likely to be missing for a few months as he prepares to have knee surgery following his cartilage problem, while Barry Molloy and Mark Farren also miss the first game of the campaign through suspension. But Kenny isn't looking for any excuses.
"It's just part and parcel of football and I don't mind it. We'll do what we can and get on with it, but I think we are starting to look that little bit stronger.
"I would like to add one more player before the start of the season but I'll speak to the board this week and see how we go."

Holmes is not good enough defensively, knock the ball in behind him and he's beat. Excellent going forward with a great left foot. Decent from set pieces too, scored some great frees for us in the first division in 2007.

Not sorry to see him go.

The kind of wages he would be demanding maybe..?

The kind of wages he would be demanding maybe..?That's a valid reason alright but if it's within the budget Connor's been given then he'd still be a good signing.

16/02/2009, 10:58 PM
connor won't get him..if he wants too much money
if he can get his attitude right then we could have a great player
Dunny
16/02/2009, 10:59 PM
Yes if it's within budget then grand, great signing, but I hope Connor doesn't get overwhelmed with the talent that is GOC and f**k us up...:p

Mickey Collins would bust him anyway.

You signed them after meeting them in your club shop? We normally ask players to play a couple of trial games at least before signing them. ;)

I just met them in the shop after they had been signed, they have gone to look for accommodation now

We've signed a striker on loan from Stockport County, but his identity has yet to be revealed. He will play tomorrow against Cork.
Derry and Cork cheekily sniffing around Jay O'Shea at the moment, and Derry rumoured to have bid 30k for him.
