Gary Rodgers

[Bosco]

since the dwogs have signed dan connor,rodgers is likely to go to waaaaaaaaaaaterford,but apparently we are interested aswell.
According to the star

[Longfordian]

He'd give Digger some proper competition ..heard from LTFC sources that Connor has signed a deal for €50k per year with Drogs..They have the money in the EL at the moment it seems..

Edit: That's into his hand too..

[max power]

they might have the paper money......but we have the silver :D

Fookin hell.... And some people expect us to be challenging teams with that type of spending power :confused: :rolleyes:

[Tallanted]

Rodgers is not a good keeper. He is shaky and inconsistent and certainly is not up to the standard to play for us

[Longfordian]

Heard some worrying news today as regards two of our out of contract players being offered big money by Drogheda. Money we cant match..Have to hope for the best but there's a fair chance of us losing them..

I'd be a bit surprised if players that Alan wanted to hold onto left the club. He's noted for being quite meticulous and keen on forward planning.

I can only guess that it would be players like Dillon, Prunty, Paisley & Murphy?

with all the good in the world, money talks :(

[town73]

..... and drogs appear to have plenty of it, wherever the hell they are getting it from.

[Terry Phelan]

The directors are pumping the dwogs with the cash.
I dont see why a wealthy Irish business man wouldn't invest heavily in a eL team with a good infastructure in place i.e. LTFC :confused:

[max power]

well they wouldn't own or even part own the club, it is held in trust for the people of longford, you can only become a member and have 1 vote...

BTW there are only 45 member sof the club, yes thats right, it only cost i think 40 euro and if only 100 extra peole joined that would be 4K extra revenue every year, so grab a member of the board and DO IT ( i have to as well :o )

[Terry Phelan]

whats stopping the likes of magnier or mcmanus funding limerick fc.
I just hate the way rich Irish men fcuk of to england/scotland to invest in soccor.Why not invest it here? :confused:

[Xlex]

Dillon, Prunty, Paisley & Murphy
Prunty, Dillon are the considerations here. Although Paisley is a regular U-21 he is unproven to an extent... Murphy has a good job with the bank so unless he takes a year off it wouldn't be a consideration. He's only after getting married so mightn't fancy it. Prunty and Dillon would be a real fear and we'd be hard placed to replace them. Only hope that we can hang on to three of the four mentioned preferably the younger three.

[Longfordian]

Well at least three of those have next year on their deal, not sure about murph, next close season may be more worrying..

Great to hear. Our defence was where we enjoyed championship-winning form. Need to build from the middle up. Deano and Dessie form a solid base for that. Any word on attracting players in? John McGrath, a Mathews' target last year, has recently been put on the transfer list at Doncaster Rovers (having spent a spell on loan at Shrewsbury).

[BobtheDrog]

Rogers is a great goalkeeper and at 22 has his whole career ahead of him many are not happy about the idea of him leaving, by murphy i'm hoping thats not spud murphy

[Longfordian]

Seeing as it's in the paper today, one of the two I mentioned is Kirby. You've offered him €1200 a week..He's waiting to see what we come up but it wont be anywhere near that..The other one isnt Murphy either, though it is a defender

well seeing they all know now, whats ur thoughts ???

1200 is too much for any player at our club. ANY PLAYER.

i'd like to see him stay but with that sort of offer and me being a capitalist i'd say, thanks alan and good luck in the future.

[Longfordian]

Correct but then again it wouldnt have to be 1200 for him to stick with his job and us, but it would have to be a substantial increase, to say 600/700 a week I'd say, which I dont really feel he is entitled to, good player though he is, he's not consistent enough to warrant it I feel..As you say good luck in the future if that's what happens

[town73]

For what it's worth, Kirbs wants to stay in Longford and I believe has told Mathews as much. Drogs don't have European football - gold in Irish football currency.

[max power]

ya never know, flancare might fash the cash as well in his day job

[Maz]

I hope you're right!! ;)

[BobtheDrog]

spud back at droghedawud seem unlikely, he walked out on us and we hate him for it and judging by his actions after the cup match he doesnt like us much

[max power]

after the abuse u gave him, what to u expect :confused:

[BobtheDrog]

he walked out thats y he gets abuse

[Longfordian]

Well it looks like ye'll get ye're own back with one or two of ours walking out for ye..

[max power]

has there been any more developments

[Longfordian]

Not that I've heard today anyway but they'd have to seriously consider big money deals, our defender was looking for a substantial increase which wasn't going to be forthcoming before Drogs came in so it must be likely we'll lose him.. Alan Mathews will not be a happy camper..

[max power]

the squad photo should be interesting tomorrow :D

i wonder will john martin smile ????

[Longfordian]

Could be interesting alright..Won't be all smiles and laughs im guessing

[max power]

well they have to come down early so course not, but hey they are gettin paid

[CollegeTillIDie]

the squad photo should be interesting tomorrow :D

i wonder will john martin smile ????

He used to smile when he scored against Bohs while playing for us ... and he did that more that once :D

[Maz]

ah poor john, He doesnt like to rub his happiness in others faces!! Great photo of him from the waterford game the other night

Did ye know that John's Dad played for Athlone in the 1970's?
