(Very early) Transfer gossip/squad retention

[nigel-harps1954]

Hates Duff apparently.

Also be careful what you read on twitter on April 1st

Gosh darn it. Didn't get it from Twitter, but I wish I had copped on now when I did hear it.

[Eminence Grise]

Russian is he?

Finnish, actually.

As in he finished working there at midnight yesterday!

[avvenalaf]

The Duffer will sign for whatever club Roddy Collins is managing at the time. Probably Ballyboden St. Endas.

[MiniMourinho]

Mick Cooke hoping to have Stephen Quigley signed ahead of Friday's game against Drogheda. strange move considering quigley was dumped mid-season by Mick after Europe last year.

[ATFC-1887]

Alot of strange moves by Cooke so far to be fair.

[MiniMourinho]

Why so ATFC?

[Sheridan]

Why so ATFC?
What is he, a psychiatrist?

[moonman]

New signing expected to be announced tomorrow morning for cork city !!!

[adamd164]

Iarfhlaith Davoren, he's a replacement for Danny Murphy who left.

Very good signing. Couldn't understand how he wasn't signed up by anyone before this.

The potential to be a good signing. He only played 22 times for us in the last 2 seasons, and even then it was with heavy strapping in some games. So I wasn't overly surprised when we didn't sign him back.

Derry apparently couldn't/ wouldn't match the money he was looking for, so interesting to know what Cork are paying him. Maybe after his short travels he's had a bit of a reality check on that front!!!

why did Baraclough let him go?

[Jofspring]

why did Baraclough let him go?

Probably answered in the comment above yours.

[Acornvilla]

I'd say he's not on particularly big money, more likely probably happy to get a solid club, (especially one doing so well) at this stage.

[White Horse]

Anyone else hear that a couple of title chasing teams are looking at Fabio O'Brien.

Not that Drogheda aren't title chasers themselves. 11 points after 5 games is great going.

[adamd164]

According to journalist Neil O'Riordan, Paul Cook wants to sign Ciaran Kilduff and Ryan Brennan at Chesterfield in the summer.

He was in Tom Taveys enjoying a pint before the game on Friday so that would make sense.

He can go whistle.

[wonder88]

Would not surprise me if Ryan Brennan gets a move over to England. I think he already may have an agent/adviser already over there, but that does not guarantee a move, but helps.

[Ezeikial]

Ryan Brennan was linked with Chesterfield in the close season, before he signed for Shamrocks.

He may well have a release clause in his contract that allows him move without a fee.

[Charlie Darwin]

No, I won't let him leave. And I'd be disappointed if Rovers are still offering players clauses where they can leave for free. It's completely small-time and most other clubs don't do it.

Brennan rumoured to be taking English lessons. May be a coincidence.

[nigel-harps1954]

Kevin Deery and Owen Morrison supposedly have signed for Letterkenny Rovers of Ulster senior league tonight.

Absolute madness that an intermediate club are able to afford to shell out a bigger wage bill than the League of Ireland club in the same county.

I'm guessing it's a lot easier to pay wages when you don't have to pay tax, PRSI, LOI entrance fees, LOI officials' fees, etc.

It's surely not that big of a surprise to Finn Harps fans who insist their players are playing for little more than peanuts. Both players have been around the block and probably aren't arsed travelling to your Wexford's, Cobh's and Waterford's for little or no money when they can play for a decent local team that will probably pay them similar to what they would get off Harps.

Both players are injury prone has-beens, I wouldn't be getting my knickers in a twist over it Nidgey.

[adamd164]

edit- wrong thread!

[Jofspring]

Craig Curran gone from Limerick FC. Huge loss.

[wonder88]

The few times I have seen Limerick play Curran was impressive, so big loss indeed if no other player of similar ability comes in. He has been injured most of this season I think, and looking at the crowds at Thomond for Limerick games there is no way that the club can pay full-time wages without a subsidy from the owner.

[Sam_Heggy]

A few rumours floating about that Roddy Collins has sacked Pizza Hutton as his assistant manager.
Pizza is a popular character within the squad so if this is true Roddy could be on thin Ice.

Might be a good time to stick a couple of quid on Rovers win tonight??

[Mr A]

So you're saying Roddy may have ordered a Pizza takeaway before tonight's game?

[Sam_Heggy]

Pizza Hut special with extra cheese

[nigel-harps1954]

Anthony Elding left Cork?

[Charlie Darwin]

I wouldn't be too quick to believe rumours after the last time he supposedly left.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

http://www.corkcityfc.ie/home/2014/05/12/elding-leaves/

[Charlie Darwin]

What's the word then, are Sligo looking at getting him back?

[Mr A]

Things have not worked out as we would have hoped, but sometimes that happens in football.

In Elding's case sometimes = pretty much always.

[poster]

What's the word then, are Sligo looking at getting him back?

Hopefully not.

[Longfordian]

What's the word then, are Sligo looking at getting him back?

Himself and Roddy are going travelling the world as "guns for hire". Sort of like the beginnings of a useless A-Team.

Throw in Sean Connor and George O'Callahan and you'll have yourself at least a Q-Team.

Not surprised by this at all really as for some reason I had a feeling it would happen.. were gona need to bring someone in to replace him now.. anyone note worthy without a club?

[nigel-harps1954]

anyone note worthy without a club?

Definitely not John O'Flynn anyway.

[PartySaint]

You can have Quigley, we'll take Elding

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

We'll take Quigley

[PartySaint]

We'll take Quigley

Swap ye for North?

[Sligo Hoops.]

Rumour had it Elding was applying for a job with the fire brigade in Sligo. Has he burnt his bridges with Baraclough ?

[patrickccfc]

We would be fine if morrisey and rafter were fit but both are still weeks away.. o'Sullivan has done really well and lehane defo has potential but need someone experienced up there.. don't think I'd take quigley to be honest never thought much of him

[avvenalaf]

Yeah, that's why he was joining the Fire Brigade.:cool: Coat on.

[brendy_éire]

Strange Limerick statement (http://www.limerickfc.ie/statement-on-craig-curran) on Craig Curran. Things don't seem to be going well at all.

[adamd164]

That's a bizarre statement.. sounds like he's had some sort of falling out. I wouldn't want to see us sign him cos I don't really rate the guy as a goal scorer.

[Jofspring]

Lots of rumours flying around here but as usual most are probably rubbish. The falling out certainly isn't with Taylor anyway as he was on twitter praising Taylor the other day. His goalscoring record has been poor but his all round play is top class.
