Transfer rumours

[Mr Maroon]

Wes Charles training with Salthill.

[Dillonman]

only my opinion but i thought he was excellent all season had a injury which took him a good while to recover

I bet you where not saying that at the end of the season when he had that tantrum against either Salthill ro Mervue!

[Magicme]

It wasnt a tantrum! It was a mistake, a costly one mind. He has brought us alot of attention with over 100k hits on youtube so he has done something right.

[Sam_Heggy]

Harps have 3 Ulster Senior League players in on trial for pre-season and are rumoured to be speaking to 2 well known senior players.
Our squad is looking stronger than last season already so here's hoping.

Yup, there are rumours. :)

[WoodquayBoy]

Heard rumours O'Grady was coming here as well. And Longford and Athlone. Adding 2 and 2 and getting 59429, I'd imagine he won't be with Sligo this comign season, and whatever club withing that circle offers him the best deal, he'll take.

[Martinho II]

And Garto has joined the Mons exodus after Hughes, Clancy, Donnelly and O'Connor.

I suppose we'll see soon enough, would be a top addition to most squads. Quality midfielder.

Kelly isnt with anyone, I read during the week that he was released due to work commitments. What I dont understand is how are the northern clubs ablke to offer 2 and 3 year contracts? Their crowds are considerably lower than us and Id imagine our league gets better sponsorship!

In general the level of stability in the Irish League seems much better than in the league of Ireland. While you occasionally hear of clubs in trouble, it's not as regular as in our league.

[Lim till i die]

Just got a text to say Robbie Keane was training with Limerick this morning.

I don't believe it myself though.

[Jofspring]

I hope your wrong Ltid.

According to Robbie it's just a publicity stunt, he's really holding out for a move to Wexford Youths (provided Mick Wallace signs over all his assets to him)

[total hoofball]

Anto Flood signing for Sporting Franchise according to the Herald

There has to be alot of backers with some of those clubs, I've heard of the likes of Glenavon paying up to a grand a week in part-time wages. I'm surprised not more LOI players are heading up there as the money is as good and there are still day jobs available in NI unlike here

in fairness isnt that the exact reason why tony grant and willo mcdonagh are playin for glenavon at present instead of down south..

[MariborKev]

Derry interested in Zayed apparently.

[cestlavie]

Yup, there are rumours. :)

Aye, maybe a runner, Anthony Gorman knows the lad (Conor O'Grady) quite well by all accounts.

Who said anything about tomorrow?
Certainly not me anyways ;)

[Aaron]

Latest Derry City rumours are Eamon Zayed has signed today, Eugene Ferry signed on for another season, McGlynn and Higgins all but signed, waiting on Bohs to release both. Cretaro will now NOT be signing apparently

[OneForTheFuture]

Dave Rogers to Monaghan.

[Blue Bear]

Dave Rogers to Monaghan.

Dear God please tell me this is some sort of sick joke.......

[OneForTheFuture]

Done and dusted I hear. Started preseason this morning.

[Darkglasses]

David Breen likely to sign for us next year but maybe undecided for now. Also Karl Keogh, son of former Rovers player Liam Keogh, is supposed to have signed for us. A young full back who's spent two seasons at Swansea City. Great signs!

[Newry Lifer]

Derry building a very strong squad.

lol - have they asked to be released? Im sure it wouldnt be a problem...! ;o)

[White Horse]

Dave Rogers to Monaghan.

A bum signing.

I hope he doesn't make an ass of Monaghan.

[Dunny]

Bit of ass for Magicme now.

[dublinred]

Heard we have got Francis Jeffers and a few Koreans lined up.

[SkStu]

any chance of seeing Xano back at the Showgrounds this season?

[Magicme]

Done and dusted I hear. Started preseason this morning.

He wanted to sign for us last season but Mick didn't have room for him at the time. I think he will be great. Even if he will be the butt of some jokes!

[Enruoblehs]

He wanted to sign for EVERYONE last season !!

Maybe he'll stay a full season with Monaghan.

[Magicme]

With garto gone we need someone with experience.

[Enruoblehs]

Only half the man Garto is.

Once Brian put on the shirt he would 'bust a gut' for the team - cannot be said for 'Scouse' anymore, which is why he's flitting from one club to the other over the past few seasons, while constantly 'wanting to sign' for yet another club.

[Jicked]

Anyone recognise who No. 27 here is ?

Looks like Yael Haro, Spanish left back who played with us last season. Altough id be very suprised if he was with Rovers. Very suprised. More than likely a lookalike.

[Jicked]

Thanks for that, looks like him arlight

http://media.tcm.ie/media/images/y/YaelHaroDroghedaUnited.jpg

We're in need of a cheap back-up full back to provide cover for Enda Stevens, I presume he can play left back?

[poster]

He played left back for Drogs V Bray last year, scored a decent free kick but didn't look the most whole-hearted player.

[hoopy]

Heard we have got Francis Jeffers and a few Koreans lined up.

Is the firing squad to be decided via match/raffle tickets ;)

[colinf]

Yael Haro is useless

[A N Mouse]

Don't particularly want them back, but surely we're getting to stage where no agreement on outstanding monies leaves players free agents?

[Sam_Heggy]

In todays Donegal News, James Gallagher claims Conor O'Grady is close to signing for us despite offers from other clubs including Sligo Rovers.
What a top bloke if he signs for us as it most certainly is not because of the money, in fact anyone that signs for us is not signing for the money.
A major coup if we have O'Grady for this season, his signing along with an experienced centre back will have us a hell of alot more competitive for the coming season.

[SkStu]

the failure to pay them since November absolutely leaves them open to explore their options for other clubs - i was coming from the point of view that they are sticking around only to avail of a payout of their contract for next season. If they signed for Derry they would have no real entitlement to a settlement. So, i was being a bit pedantic in that Bohs would gladly release them if they asked, They just would never ask!

He just wants football now at this stage. Heard the contract he was offered by us was near to nothing. Don't think Cook is too keen on him at this stage.

[baz-dcfc]

Both McGylnn and Higgins trained with Derry today. I assume being released by Bohs is not the main issue but its more to do with them getting their owed monies before they leave. McGuniness is rumoured to be going Sligo along with Createro. Both were linked to us but because we signed Zayed the Cretero deal is dead whilst McGuniness was offered better terms with Sligo.

Derry are now rumoured to be chasing Aiden Price and Liam Burns. Joe McCready also rumoured to have turned down the chance to join Hamilton from Institute to join Derry.

Well hopefully there is no shams players in the firing squad, they're not the greatest at hitting the target in a shootout ;)

[Real Rover]

All 4 hit the target actually.

[redobit]

All 4 hit the target actually.

ya, but they were firing blanks.

[Dunny]

Darius Kierans is Ian Fosters new assistant manager at Dundalk. Confirmed this morning.
