Transfer Rumours 2012

[Jofspring]

except the 9 premier clubs who didn't offer Bradley a deal I'd imagine

He was good for us for the year. Still glad he's gone

Nothing to say a few premier clubs didn't offer him a deal. The security of a two year deal though may have been what swayed him to Limerick a head of any of the premier clubs I would imagine.

[Dodge]

He spoke to Shels, Pats, Limerick and Sligo.

I'm not one of these to try and second guess why he chose Limerick, could be money, could be security, could be 'the challenge', could be anything. I was just pointing out to the poster that not all clubs in the premier wanted him...

He was very good for us. PFAI voted him into their team of the year. he finished 3rd in our POTY voting

But after karpaty and that nonsense, I'm not unhappy about him going

Thats nothing to do with the point he made though he said that a Gamble and Bradley partnership would be the envy of some prem clubs not just the signing of Bradley.
There is no doubting that a few prem clubs would definitley like to have Gamble and Bradley.

He spoke to Dundalk and Drogs too btw.

You're glad that your player who made it into the Premier Division Team of the Year is gone? Sorry, but by any chance, do you also support Man United?

[Dodge]

Sure he did

anyway, bradley and Gamble* is indeed, a terrific midfield and limerick should walk the first division


*based on Gamble 3 years ago, haven't seen since he left cork

[Dodge]

I'm happy a player that was instrumental in bringing my club to within 3 hours of extinction is gone, yes. I've never denied he's a good player


Sorry, but by any chance, do you also support Man United?
sorry, don't get the reference

[Dillonman]

PFAI team won 2nil on Sunday. Shane Dolan scored twice. He has on twitter that he has been offered a deal by somebody. Any got info on him?

[Sam_Heggy]

The following are all on trial with DUNDALK FC.
George Smith,
Robert Watters,
Gary Mulligan,
Gareth Brady,
Danny South,
Luke Danville

Anyone know anything on any of them ?

Must........resist............obvious opposite to Danny North joke.

[sligoman]

except the 9 premier clubs who didn't offer Bradley a deal I'd imagineSo Bray/Drogs etc. wouldn't want Bradley in their team because they didn't offer him a deal?

Rovers aren't after Tevez but I'm fairly sure we'd be happy to sign him.

Happy we didn't sign Bradley, never liked him.

[HomerJay]

Must........resist............obvious opposite to Danny North joke.

Meant to be an actual player, the club have said a player with that name is on trial anyway ,:p

Colm James and David McGill have signed for LTFC from Shels. Two good additions.

Two fantastic additions. I'm delighted to see them have sense, and opt for Longford over Bohs.
Just writing up an article about it for ET.

[Donohoe10]

As a pats fan I am too delighted Bradley is gone. Although a good player he was the spare head of the bonusgate hourse before a big game... Good riddons

If it's the Gareth Brady i'm thinking off he is 18 and the younger brother of Robbie Brady (Man U, On loan at Hull)

Decent Centre midfielder, Better Centre Half (Not that his father would agree)

Like his brother he played with St Kevins Boy's untill U15 and then signed for Cherry Orchard.

As i said before, he is a decent ball player but will struggle with his speed.... Have not seen him play in a year or so, so he may have sorted his fitness out....

Time will tell.

[sheao]

We have a Finnish striker on trial .

[sligoman]

We have a Finnish striker on trial .Any good of a finisher?

[adamd164]

That's why he's on trial I guess - we get to see if he's any good and he gets an idea of what Helsinki about moving here. Everyone wins.

[Sam_Heggy]

Sweede lord almighty, I think taking the p!ss out of the Scandinavian needs to Finnish now. His reception has already been Baltic.

[adamd164]

It was only intended as an icebreaker but there snow way the guy will stick around if this is how he'll be treated. Who knows, I hyypiä right if he's not any good.

[OneForTheFuture]

The off season eh?


March can't come too soon for us all.

And it'll be no time until we see the season Finnish again.

Always was going to in fairness.

looks like hes signed - waiting on confirmation - today is a great day

Deal off...cant a Fjord his wages

[Joseph McSweene]

Robert Watters - Couldn't find details


That might be Robbie Waters....former Cork City Youth Prospect. He would have left us when Tommy C (not the comedian but also a clown) was busy ruining the club. Looked a talent at the time, but it was a difficult step up then (Eoin Forde, Wille Heffernan, Timmy Kiely,etc all struggled a bit). He was with UCC so hopefully he's developed well and will get a deal.

[El-Pietro]

player signing being announced at Turners Cross tomorrow morning.

I love Dan Murray, hes my all time favourite Cork City player and I was afraid he wouldn't return and it would ruin his City legacy, but at the same time I don't know if this is the best way to allocate our budget. I wonder is the money that was allocated for Daryl Kavanagh being transferred to Dan.

We still need a striker and a winger, ideally first choice players

sorry to see Big Dan go, not the fastest(thats being nice) but always brought a bit of calm to the defense. exactly the type of player cork need back in the prem if they want to start challenging

Ye seem to have plenty of defenders now. I take it ye aren't hanging onto Derek O Brien? Daryl Horgan and Davin O Neill did decent jobs for ye on the wing anytime I saw ye last season. I know the premier is a different kettle of fish but against the top teams they seemed to stand out also.

[atfconline]

Kevin Williamson from ATFC to Bohs or Monaghan according to the local paper today. Though he was still training with us tonight.

Good player in his day alright. But he's over the hill (even mountain) at this stage

I think he would be huge along side some of our younger players, Spillane, Kavanagh, Turner and Dunleavey could learn a lot from him.

Huge buzz around this signing too, might get the city excited a little bit.

Theres been literally no talk around Derek that I've heard, I'd gladly have him back as an option off the bench if he'd play for those sort of wages.

I'd say as things stand our starting wingers are Daryl and Ian Turner. Davin is wasted on the wing and needs to play through the middle. Ideally though wed get in someone better. Someone quick to complement Graham, but if its Davin and Graham I won't lose any sleep.

[El-Pietro]

hes only 29. He was never fast

[Magicme]

Doubt if its to us.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Tidy BIG wage bill too, Sligo rarely got over 2,000 last season, I'm not doubting the quality, its the funding I would be concerned about if I was a Sligo fan.

Gaynor for example from us, he wont start and he didnt move for nothing.

Sligo Rovers Football Club held their Annual General Meeting in the Clarion Hotel last night where the club’s accounts for 2011 were presented and a new management committee was elected.
It was one of the biggest attendances at an AGM in recent memory with chairman Michael Toolan saying that it was a great sign of the progress made at the club.
Outgoing treasure Vincent Nally made a presentation on the audited accounts to the club’s members in which a profit of just under €60,000 was recorded.
The improvements to the The Showgrounds in 2011 were commended. Toolan said that hosting the third round Europa League game was a wonderful occasion for the club and that the financial outlay on ground works was a credit to everyone.
Vincent Nally, Loman Gallagher and vice-chairman Tony Quinn resigned from the committee with Noel Kennedy and Rory Houston elected.
Appointments in the new committee will be made within the next week. A further meeting to develop the club and The Showgrounds will be held in March.

Are you for real? The guy is 29 and just off the back of captaining the league winning side - something Sligo fans wouldn't know much about admittedly, but your comment is ridiculous.

ANd FORSA Cork would ya. Relax man its only an opinion. Did ya see him playing for Shams in the last half of the season, especially in Europe. He ran around like he had lead in his boots.

[adamd164]

I saw him whenever Shamrock Rovers were on telly, and his reading of the game and coordination are miles ahead of most other defenders in the LOI; pace was never his strong point, he came to us as a young fella and even then he was slow and looked awkward on the ball.

He's as slow as he he's ever been, to be honest. The reason he's spent most of his career challenging for titles is that his positioning, anticipation and reading of the game are second to none in this league.

I think he's certainly got a bit slower in the last year or two (haven't we all) but he'll be a great addition for Cork

[redobit]

We will have to see adam. And I dont know why you keep having a go at Sligo Rovers. Who I support has nothing to do with my opinion on Dan.

[Sonny]

Great signing for Cork. His reading of the game, organisation and leadership will be very valuable to a newly promoted side finding it's feet in the Premier Division.

[Lim till i die]

Gutted that we didn't at least try to sign Dan for the craic.

Came along too late. :(

Derek O'Brien to Tralee.
