Transfer rumours

[bluewhitearmy]

I hear Schlingerman from Athlone could be off to Mons.

[dong]

I think the problem is that you'd also be left with (possibly) substantial contracts to honour without the income levels to meet them.

Of course that is the point, but the blinkers are on now a la fungus so don't mention it.

I think the problem is that you'd also be left with (possibly) substantial contracts to honour without the income levels to meet them.

But if the contracts aren't substantial (which they're not if the figures I've heard are true), then LTID is right.

As for the comparisons with Fingal, I'd be fairly certain that EVERY Fingal player was earning more than Gamble and Behan are. The first division has a few players that are on good money (Andy Boyle for example was offered more at Shels than he was at Pats), and most promotion chasing teams seem to have 1/2 of the higher profile (read paid) players surrounded by locals/journeymen

Limerick no different from Cork, Shels, Monaghan or even Logford

[Lim till i die]

Dodge there actually seems to know what he's talking about lads.

Take the blinkers off and have a read of what he is saying and what Pat O'Sullivan has been saying.

Otherwise in your desperation to turn good into bad you might end up doing stupid, just stupid, things like comparing Limerick FC to Sporting Fingal. :ball:

Just to clarify, Roddy has no bigger budget than Cooke did.

Can we move this thread to the Limerick section please?

No, I don't want it in there either tbf

Players in bold are also A team players. Add into that the list of injuries and the squad isn't that big.

[outspoken]

Don't know if this was posted already but I read in the sun newspaper the other day that Graham Gartland has been told he can leave St.Johnstone and the two Rovers are now the favorites to get him.

[poster]

We already have 4 centre halves. Doubt he'd wanna come here ahead of Shams.

Injured or not its still a big squad. Are they not still getting paid when injured or something?

[Jofspring]

Would think a lot of that squad would be on very little. If another few signings come in we could see a good few being released and I can see a lot of the younger players going back to just playing A team for the rest of the season.

[Rasputin]

Injured or not its still a big squad. Are they not still getting paid when injured or something?
Some of the squad could just be on a pay-per-play contract or the likes.
Say a very low basic wage with big bonus incentives like goals, appearances, clean sheets etc.

[Dodge]

if there are 3/4 Pats players on no more than expenses, I'd imagine its the same in Limerick.

There's two possibilities really. Either you're looking at a Fingal/Shels/Bohs/Drogheda/Cork/Cork situation, or you're looking at a Pat's type situation where Kelleher gave Pat's loads of money, developed things but when he left (or stopped pumping in money; is he still involved?), they were able to revert quite easily back to what they had been before. If the latter is what Sullivan is doing at Limerick, then there's no problem really.

Anyways, back on topic, is Karl Moore just off to England on trials, or is there anyone in particular in for him? What happened to the Motherwell lead? He had a great game on Friday; must have had someone in the crowd watching!

[Charlie Darwin]

They said on MNS last night he was heavily linked with Motherwell. Not sure how up to date their sources are though.

I wonder will Limerick be next up for a stringent financial investigation that the Shams fans seem to get inside knowledge of?
Also Shams fans, any word on when that report into our finances is going to be published?
Its taking longer than a tribunal.

[outspoken]

Sun newspaper today reporting the Limerick failed in a bid to land Roy O'Donovan while they claim Scully is still hoping to land Dan Murray also former Rovers man Padraig Amond looks set to leave Pacos either on loan to a 2nd division side in Portugal or he will be sold back to a LOI side but I cant see any Irish side paying out a transfer fee *everyone looks at Limerick*

Ya can't see any team paying a transfer fee. Would be shocked if we paid any kind of a transfer fee for him. How much did he cost Pacos in the first place?

i'm sure you know well enough that particular rumour started on the bohs forum, and you're just looking for a bite. so there you go, you and your schoolmates can have a laugh at my expense.

Past his best but can occasionally put in a good shift. Purcell is a little bit better.

LMFM reporting that Shane Guthrie has left Dundalk.

Back to St.Pats?

I would have said we might be in for him cause we where at the start of the season but if Thomas is right and we have signed Shaun Maher then I wouldn't think we are. Also if we have got Maher that is the Murray link dead and buried.

[Guinney]

Guthrie has been very poor for us since he came in. But the general opinion I gathered on here is that most Pats fans rate him as a defender.

Dont think Guthrie is coming back to Pats.....

Really?
Why were your lot claiming they heard it from "their inside sources" and never mention the fact it started on the Bohs forum until it was shown that your claims were to be totally full of ****?
How convenient.

[Dodge]

He's under contract so unless we can find someone to loan/transfer him to, he will be

Dont think so i think Maher if he has signed is being brought in as cover because its handy seen as he is moving to Limerick. even with him in it leaves us with 3 centre backs so i think they are still in for another.

Thats three more than us. Hawkins is our only recognised centre-back and he is injured :(

Ya your squad is tiny isnt it...Is it only 16 ye have ?

[Guinney]

Ya your squad is tiny isnt it...Is it only 16 ye have ?

Yeap, tiny. With Hector gone and by the looks of things Guthrie leaving our first team panel consists of 17. We have been badly hit with injuries. The long-term injuries to Eoghan Osborne and Stephen McDonnell have further depleted our squad. Stephen Maher has been on the bench recently but Foster seems reluctant to use him with the nature of his injury (osteitis pubis) and possibly due the fact he is struggling with fitness after been out so long. Add to that Jason Byrne and Hawkins been out for long periods and a couple more playing with injury our squad size has been a major hindrance to us this year.

Reserve team players Chris Duffy and Phillip Duffy have been called onto the bench for most of the matches this year but are very rarely used (ie. if we're cruising Foster might give them a run out).

The board stated that they won't be increasing funds to add to the squad, but this was before Hector and presumably Guthrie left. Hopefully we can get in a defender or two.

[outspoken]

Sun newpaper reporting today that Alan Mannus will leave Rovers in just 2 weeks time (after the Flora game) to join SPL side St.Johnstone, the article also claimed Rovers were lining up Richard Brush or Peter Cherrie as a replacement

Todays other transfer news from the same paper claims Derry have rejected a bid from Blackpool for James McLean and former Shels gaffa Dermot Keely said in his usual column that he has recommended McLean to Millwall but he expects a bigger club to land him

How long is McDonnell out for?

[Guinney]

How long is McDonnell out for?

Doesn't seem to be any deadline set for him to comeback. It said in the Dundalks democrat this week that McDonnell has gone to a specialist on Monday to see whether he needs surgery. Foster said the best case scenario would be to have McDonnell back in 6 weeks.

[sligoman]

A certain player to re-sign for us (again)
