Transfer Rumours 2012

[total hoofball]

I had to look up John Paul Kelly to remind myself of him. He was some bit of stuff for Bohs. His wiki says he was fired by Liverpool. I remember hearing him in an interview saying he felt homesick so left Liverpool! What drove him away from football?

Joxer drove himself away from football. Usual footballer pitfalls fondess of booze, gambling but other more serious stuff I wouldn't want to repeat online to prevent the site from getting shut down.

I heard he is in the slammer now.

[Dillonman]

Seamus Conneely released by Sheff Utd yesterday.

[SkStu]

I heard he is in the slammer now.

i hadnt heard this. wow.

The rest of the stuff is true, even the unspecified stuff.

[Jofspring]

4 Monaghan players to Leave before the transfer window according to the PFAI twitter.

Odds on Roddy lasting the season?

Actually, just on Roddy; he mentioned on Newstalk last week that Setanta are financing a follow-up documentary at the moment to The Rod Squad. They'd cameras in the Newstalk studio.

If Mons money troubles get worse I half-think he'd walk. SD Galway could use a big name ;)

[Dalymountrower]

Stephen Kenny offered 50 k to terminate his contract, told them to f off, he has three years at 100 k p.a.
Unnecessary panic stations?

I seen it on twitter the other week, it was Rovers fans who were putting it up.

Kevin O'Connor is supposed to be signing for Bray, ex-Wolves and brother of Danny.

Reading boss Brian McDermott was also in the Carlisle a few weeks ago, heard he was looking at our young center half Pierce Sweeney.

Kieran Marty Waters looks a promising player for you lot. Seen him a few times against us and also highlights on MNS, looks like a prospect

[nigel-harps1954]

Harps signed 2 players back there the other day. Mickey Funston and Mark Scoltock signed back for the club after the Irish League finished up.

Agree with that, if he doesn't get snapped up by an English club I could see the likes of Rovers and Pats trying to get him in the off-season.

Was watching Forrester, was back again on the monday to see him a 2nd time.

We tried to sign 5 from bray at the start of the season we got 1, Mulroy, Sheils, Waters and someone whose name i forget.

[oriel]

Dundalk interested in offering Barry Conlon a contract after the break, hope he has made a good bit of dosh in the UK, as he wont be coming for the money, and thats for certain.

[monutdfc]

Another transfer window, another Barry Conlon to Dundalk/Monaghan United (delete as appropriate) rumour

[monutdfc]

4 Monaghan players to Leave before the transfer window according to the PFAI twitter.
Saw that, thought it was a it odd - when does the transfer window open? Did he mean before the transfer window closes?

[Jofspring]

Window opens in July. I suppose they could leave before the window but not sign for anyone else till July.

Marty is a smashing prospect, with the right coaching and game time he will end up in England, no doubt about that, I personally think he needs another season or two with us to help develop and there's no better man than Devo to get him a move to a UK club :p If he wants a quick buck then he moves to Rovers, if he wants to play at a higher level then he stays with Bray for a few seasons and plays week in week out.

We actually have a few young lads just as talented coming though, Sweeney is our leavinng cert center half :D and there's another kid who actually hasn't made his senior debut yet called Sean Hurley, brother of Shels Stephen. He could be the brightest talent to come out of Bray in years

Possibly Shane O'Neill... beggers belief why himself and Shields picked Dundalk over Pats, obviously money had a part to play in it.

[Nailor]

Pat Sullivan signing until the end of the season for the Hoops.

[Cuyahoga]

Great news for Hoops fans if true.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

[outspoken]

Cork Tom told me last season Longford Town were signing Michael Owen through the Keith Gillespie link??? Sounds true to me especially since Owen's on a free, the man saw it coming!

[Dillonman]

Possibly Shane O'Neill... beggers belief why himself and Shields picked Dundalk over Pats, obviously money had a part to play in it.

Doubt that, McCaffrey said 8 players opted for Pats over us earlier in the season.

[dong]

He is the messiah who will save Kenny's job.

[Charlie Darwin]

Doubt that, McCaffrey said 8 players opted for Pats over us earlier in the season.
Doesn't this happen every year?

It's likely that Dundalk and Pats have similar budgets, with Dundalk possibly having to spend a little more as they're outside Dublin. Buckley and McCaffrey would have been in for a lot of the players, and it is very possible that Dundalk offered higher wages to players A and B, while Pats offered higher wages to players X and Y.

[Acornvilla]

don't suppose any of them would know McCaffery from his time coaching the youth teams etc?, that and maybe the promise of being a nailed on starter could be a factor. I doubt there'd be a huge difference in money..

[mcgonigle]

Wish he had chosen Pats, massive disappointment.

[Dodge]

Doubt that, McCaffrey said 8 players opted for Pats over us earlier in the season.

McCaffrey also said our budget is 22k a week. So I think its safe to say the man shouldn't be listened to at all

[Louth4sam]

Any man that wears a shirt, tracksuit bottoms and shoes is obviously a bit mad and anything they say should be taken with a pinch of salt

[dublinred]

Heard Sol Campbell is joining us next week in a player/coach capacity to finish his badges, also going to be Spurs chief scout in Ireland.

[Fivesilver]

Maybe we should get Rio as well - must be pretty fed up of England at this stage.

[Dublin Red]

Boco & Ventre to follow Cook to Accrington.

Davoren to Shams.

Danny North to Watford.


All rumours going about in Sligo.

[Charlie Darwin]

Good as Davoren is, Rovers would have to be offering silly money to get him mid-season and Sligo would be mad to sell.

North would be a huge loss to the league, but would snuff out Sligo's title challenge so it's all gravy.

[dong]

Yea, apparently Shams need Davoren and we will be losing Danny North so Gary Twigg is moving to the Showgrounds in a swap deal.

[nigel-harps1954]

Riiiiiiggggghhhhhtt. And Harps are signing Eric Cantona.

Any Sligo fans heard anything about this? cant see it happening, not much you can do though if Watford offer you money for North...

[Dodge]

Not being funny but when pats signed North he was playing with Alfreton Town having been released by Grimsby. He's a top striker in this league but there's absolutely no way a championship team is spending money on him

[Eminence Grise]

Riiiiiiggggghhhhhtt. And Harps are signing Eric Cantona.


At least ye'll have someone who can act like a footballer!

[Sam_Heggy]

We've loads of guys who act (or pretend, same thing really) like footballers.

Bray sign Kevin O'Connor, brother of captain Danny.

[Sam_Heggy]

Matthew Crossan has left Derry, gone to America to play bogball for the Summer.

Marc Brolly trained with Harps yesterday, he has an offer on the table from Derry too. Still contracted to Dungannon so if a transfer fee is mentioned it'll be a non runner on our part.

[Nailor]

I know someone who met Davoren and Ritchie Ryan on holiday and said Davoren will be an Accie Stanley player on the 1st of July.

Sligo fans keeping very quiet on these rumours...

[sligoman]

Sligo fans keeping very quiet on these rumours...What do you expect us to say? They're rumours, we can't confirm them.

I can confirm Dav was/is on holidays with Richie Ryan during the break.
