Well Lads. Its been a while since I've been on here and was looking up to see who we had signed. From what I was hearing from Cousins he'd have most of his squad in place early January.

So thought I'd open up a new page for transfers as they were in other pages under different headings!!! So anyone know who's left, who's been kept and who's been signed?!!!

A bit of digging unearths Stephen Conlon and Thomas Hyland playing for Shamrock Rovers A. Presumably it's the same lads.

derek tyrell left bray a few years ago. think he has been playing leinster senior league recently. he is a centre back, used be with drogheda, good player when he was with them but never really got in with bray.

deans is a solid strong centre half. i am really dissapointed that bray didnt resign him.

but a lot of bray players dont get on with eddie gormley so i am not surprised they are not re-signing...

Think Tyrell played with Fingal in 2008. Not sure where he was last year. David Tyrrell is the midfielder.

Yeah with all due respect he should be able to do better he's a Premier standard keeper. I'm just going on his lack of signing for anyone else as yet but if Shanahan saw his way to signing for us again that would be very welcome I reckon in terms of a first choice keeper.

Acornvilla

14/01/2010, 8:04 AM

hes the best keeper i think i have ever seen play for us honestly.. just great naturl ability a good kickout and a good talker

was derek tyrrell the player that moved from shels to bray? I looked up the Bray website and saw that Tyrell wasnt on their panel last season.. For some reason I thought he was with them..

Longfordian

14/01/2010, 11:26 AM

No that was David I think.

I think there's a trial scheduled for this weekend weather permitting.

wheres the trial do you know?
see that Stephen Conlon is a goalkeeper and Thomas Hyland is a defender..

Derek Tyrrell was playing with Malahide United in the LSL in 2009. He was previously with Leeds United until 2005, Drogheda from 2005-2006, Bray in 2007, Sporting Fingal in 2008

David Tyrrell is the midfielder, he has previously played for Shels, Bray, Shamrock Rovers, Finn Harps and most recently Athlone Town.

I'm not sure, could be Flancare. Wherever it is/was supposed to be the pitch was still frozen and if the cold snap comes this weekend that's promised it will more than likely not go ahead.

i have heard from a reliable source that town are training in Newbridge for the coming season. It would make sense I suppose. I heard also from the same source that Jason McCartney is staying with us too which is great news as he had a good season for us..

Longfordian

14/01/2010, 3:47 PM

Yeah handy enough for both Dublin and Midlands based players. Jason McCartney was one of our better performers last year alright, I'd be happy enough to have him around.

Town Legend

14/01/2010, 4:40 PM

Any word on where Tom King will be playing this season. From what I seen of him he'd be another I'd keep on.

Also, anyone know if the 2 local lads, Lee and Murphy are staying on?

Acornvilla

14/01/2010, 4:49 PM

tom is good enough for prmier division football IMOso it would be great if ye could keep hold of him.. such a hard worker

Lee is stayin on according to a friend that was talkind to him in the gym!

I'v felt like this every off season since joining foot.ie! I'm starting to see sense now, tho.

with tom based in Galway I am not sure how he can commit to training in Newbridge.. I heard that Galway Utd are sniffing around him...

Some very good signings made, although its early yet. When ya see waterford signing a player like Liam Kearney, you know we'll still be up against it this season.. Still tho we can be optimistic..
As a side note, from what ive heard, the team will be trainin in Maynooth this year..

thats interesting that.. I heard the rumour about Newbridge from a friend thats friendly with one of our players but I could be wrong too... It will be interesting to see what happens!!

15/01/2010, 10:40 PM

Gary Curran and Adrian Murphy are training with us. Their not signed but have been training the last 2 sessions with us. I remember Murphy played with us a few seasons back and was prolific in front of goal but don't think he had the best of seasons last year. What about Curran?

Also we have a lad from Granard, i think training with us. Think his name is Lynch. Would that be the Lynch lad who ye had last season. Was told he used to play with ye but it wasn't the lad from last season. Was told he was playing GAA the last few years.

De Town

15/01/2010, 10:45 PM

Curran can be hit and miss. Wouldn't mind keeping him tbh but wouldn't be losing too much sleep if we lost him. The Lynch we had last season was Liam Lynch, from Ballinasloe.

Longfordian

15/01/2010, 10:46 PM

Murph did ok last year, wouldn't mind keeping him around. Played a lot of games on the right wing. Curran was decent enough as well, scored a few goals from midfield, didn't excel really but he wasn't bad. The other lad sounds like Stephen Lynch. Played for us in 2001 in the UEFA Cup then went to UCD. Never did much there, he then played for the county GAA team for a while and as far as I know has been doing nothing much sports wise in the last couple of years.

Frank76

15/01/2010, 10:48 PM

Yeah think its Stephen Lynch. He was training with us the last few weeks. Apparently he's been playing with Spartak Granard or something like that in your District league.

Longfordian

15/01/2010, 10:58 PM

I see. I'd have my doubts about whether he'd do anything at LOI level, he was never the most motivated but you never know. No harm in taking a look at him from your point of view.

That's good news. :)

most important signing er havent had a relly good keeper in a whyle it will make a big diffrence defencivly woop! :D

Longfordian

16/01/2010, 10:35 AM

Good news alright. He'd have been high up on the list of players to keep from last year.

Acornvilla

now most importantly whats the story with mccarthy and king??

Rocky77

16/01/2010, 12:29 PM

Wouldn't have thought McCarthy had any interest in coming back somehow, he would see himself playing at a higher level.

King is living and studying in Galway and isn't coming back this season as there's too much travel involved for him...

Longfordian

16/01/2010, 1:23 PM

Don't see McCarthy getting into a Premier Division team at the moment personally. He is talented but he makes a lot of mistakes. He's still young so he may improve but at the moment he wouldn't get his game at that level I reckon. Galway could do a lot worse than signing up Tom King as an option for their squad.

Martinho II

17/01/2010, 4:34 PM

Stephen Lynch was a good underage player but never was good enough at LoI level. Came on as a sub against Litex Lovech in the UEFA Cup then went to UCD where he never got a sniff.

Adrian Murphy is hoping to go to college in the UK come summer time so you won't have him for a full season regardless.

In other news, Aaron Shanahan is signing back....

thats super news about Shanahan as hes better than Danny O'Leary.. with the other goalie being Thomas Hyland i assume O'Learys not coming back..

Thats interesting about Adrian Murphy training with ye. He was top scorer for Athlone during his one season with them in 2004. I would be sorry to see Murph and Gary Curran leave if thats the case but its the managers perogrative.Stephen Lynch made only one appearance for us senior wise .

Its beginning to take shape now...

Stephen Conlon is a goalkeeper, he was Rovers A team sub keeper last season as far as i know

Hope Hyland "tallies assists" with some "serves" for us

Acornvilla

17/01/2010, 10:02 PM
