LOI Squads 2013

[Charlie Darwin]

I don't think so. He's obviously had his problems but he was one of the few players who actually looked bothered when he played last year. Certainly showed more than Powell, who has re-signed. Would be a shame if he wasn't playing at a decent level this season.

Hope to add two or three more to the squad, with a full team of under 19's also in the ranks, most of whom will probably join up with the USL Harps reserve team though.

Looking fairly strong, the likes of Mark Forker, Sean McCarron, Josh Mailey and Johnny Bonner looking like signing too which would add significantly to the squad and competition for places will be absolutely fierce this season.

[Sam_Heggy]

That's possibly a stronger midfield than we've had in the past 8 or 9 years.

[GerByrne]

Apparently Paisley signed for Bohs over the weekend.

[Youths4Ever]

Wexford have announced another addition to the squad tonight Craig McCabe young guy about 19-20 was with underage setup for a period of time

[Lim till i die]

That's possibly a stronger midfield than we've had in the past 8 or 9 years.

The First Division. :bulgy:

[nigel-harps1954]

The First Division. :bulgy:

Forget about us already?

[Lim till i die]

Forget about us already?

:p

Nah, you're actually my sneaky tip for the title, there's no stand out team, five or six of ye will all be taking points off one another and playing in Ballybofey is a very big advantage in a league made half up of essentially amateur clubs.

[SkStu]

Man, it was waaaaay cooler in here when the First Division had its own forum...

[bluemovie]

Who's this lad now?

Only an under 19, hadn't played for our senior team. Attacking mid who sometimes slotted in as a striker and was in our 19s for the last year and a half.

*Tommy Dunne says there will be further additions to the squad before the start of the season.

[harry crumb]

I know numbers don't mean **** these days but the No. 10 still has the mystique about it don't you think.

Is Denis Behan a No. 10? Is he now City's best player?

[gormacha]

Harps



29 first team squad players? Jaysis.... that's HUGE.

[Mr A]

Some will inevitably feature mostly in our Ulster Senior League side.

[nigel-harps1954]

29 first team squad players? Jaysis.... that's HUGE.


30 after Matt Crossan signed. Massive competition for places this year. It's a massive push to make the first team squad, the rest will be playing reserve football.

[ped_ped]

I know numbers don't mean **** these days but the No. 10 still has the mystique about it don't you think.

Is Denis Behan a No. 10? Is he now City's best player?

With Horgan and Daryl Kavanagh on the books alone, not a hope. I doubt they really intended the No. 10 to be that significant. He's a good addition.

Jonny Bonner


Is he a Bonner or a Boner?

[Dermotron]

Have Salthill confirmed anyone for their squad for this year yet?

[nigel-harps1954]

Up here, they're all Boners.

John Sullivan and John Mountney make up the 16 announced so far, including Keith Ward (not Mark Ward as above)

Stephen Kenny has said he intends to sign 3 TBC's - goalkeeper, another striker and probably a left sided attacking player :

http://www.dundalkfc.com/stephen-kenny-qa-part-2/

Of the 3 youth players he mentions (Fergal McMahon, Sami Osobe and Conor McDonald) Chippy McDonald has already made a number of first team appearences and even got a couple of 'man of the match' awards.

Most Dundalk supporters would like to see an extra experienced centre half (the 4th TBC!), but it does not seem likely

[oriel]

Yep, I forgot two and mixed up Wardy, actually didnt Mark Ward play for Everton :o ofcourse its Keith Ward, as for John Mountney, dont know how I forgot him, as he was one of the few players who had a decent season last year.

Didn't realise Dane Massey signed for Dundalk. Smashing full back IMO. Good squad for Dundalk. Don't know anything about Hoban or Byrne (bar reputation) but if either of them pans out, Dundalk look like they could mach most teams

[oriel]

Hoban is from Mervue Utd, scored over 10 goals last year, think he's only 21, had a season with Bristol City previously. Kurtis is a son of Paul Byrne (ex Celtic, and a host of LOI clubs), signed from Ross County, but was on loan at Brechin.

And apart from above, I dont think many DLK fans know much more.


The above panel (pending another striker), possibly may be good enough for 6th place,there's a good balance, m/f in particular looks very strong. If we managed mid table, I think that would be a great turnaround after last season's 'effort'.

Speaking of, that was surely one of the worst ever PD sides from us, so bad if Mons had survived, I'm convinved we would have finished bottom.

Ex Bray isn't he?
Always thought he was very solid alright.

On Hoban and Byrne, I meant I knwo who they are but I've never seen them play

Have Derek O'Brien, Kluciar and Collins left the club?

Derek O Brien played one or two friendlies but have heard he was released. klucair hasn't been seen this season so I'd say released and Collins has been training and playing friendlies but hasn't signed yet.

Not a massive squad with Europe, Setanta, Lg Cup, FAI Cup and League games this year.
I take it a good few of the 19's will have been signed on 1st team forms too??

[Jofspring]

Don't tell me Craig Burns hasn't signed for ye after all?

Doesn't look like it. He was supposed to have been poor in both friendlies he played and wasn't involved in the Wexford one. If he is gone to Scotland with the team then I take it he has or will sign. We are still light at the back so he may sign yet.

[sligoman]

I take it a good few of the 19's will have been signed on 1st team forms too??Hugh McFadden and Shane McGinty have featured in pre-season, would expect McGinty in particular to be more involved with first team this season. Good player. Also forgot Jake Dykes on that list, he'll be around the squad too.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Don't think Ventre has actually signed yet. Terms were agreed but he needs to pass a medical first. Got injured while on trial in the UK. Supposedly.

[srfc1928]

Hugh McFadden and Shane McGinty have featured in pre-season, would expect McGinty in particular to be more involved with first team this season. Good player. Also forgot Jake Dykes on that list, he'll be around the squad too.
Ciaran Kelly to be added aswell.
Not a massive squad at all, maybe one of the smallest in the league. But Baraclough has said he prefers work with a small squad rather than having players not getting game time. He could of easily gone to the board demanding big money for players after winning the league but hes been patient and brought in 3 players that he tought would fit in and let 5/6 go. There wasnt pressure on him to trim the squad either, at Thursdays AGM Rovers reported a profit for the fifth year in a row. He seems to put a lot of emphasis on the running costs of the club along with managing/coaching the team
