Summer Window Transfer Rumours 2016

[cobhlad]

This three week break is getting to me already! Any transfer rumours about?

[Olander]

Not a rumour - but as a Cobh fan you will know best. What was the reason for Andy O'Connell and the Gavlin brothers departures? Important players for Ramblers surely

[cobhlad]

Good players but none were regular starters so wouldn't say that important. O'Connell is looking at going to the States and doesn't really need LOI at the moment. He left on good terms. As for the twins, they just didn't settle and weren't happy here. Was best for them to move on. They'll do a good job somewhere.

Pat Hoban Paul Corry and Shane O'Connor to First Division Champions 2016 Limerick FC.

[LK37oldskool]

Paul Corry story doing the rounds even before he was released by Northampton.

It's funny cos he's the one name out of the three above that I was just guessing at.

Can't see the talks with hoban coming to anything, I think our best case scenario with him is dundalk getting him and us getting whichever of kilduff or McMillan they don't want.

I'd love if we signed him just for the reaction of the rest of the league to be honest :D

Shane O Connor would be an excellent signing

[outspoken]

Rumours circulating down here that a key member of the current town squad has had enough and has an offer from another premier side.

[Longfordian]

Haven't heard anything myself but it's not much good having offers unless the club let them go. Can't see that happening even if they are unhappy.

If they're not getting paid then the club may not have any choice.

[Longfordian]

There's been no suggestion that we're not paying wages. Crap and all as we've been I'd be very surprised if that was the case.

I don't know what is happening at your club but all is not rosy for sure.
Who owns or runs the club ?
Not turning up for matches is the first step to getting kicked out & I would hate to see that happen to such an old club.

[Martinho II]

Jim Hanley owns the club lost stock and barrel. We have a board but catch is that board suggest things to Hanley and it is then his call. What a great democracy we have!

[RathfarnhamHoop]

Hope to god we,Shamrock Rovers, sign a left back unless Osam is nearly back to fitness. Heard we might be signing Twigg back but I guess that rumor does the rounds every window.

Ah I don't buy that Marty, if a board makes a majority decision then they have to follow it or it simply isn't a board. Members of that board have openly said they simply don't challenge Jim when he makes a decision, they are now hiding behind the excuse ''it's jims call''. Without Jim there wouldn't be a club so i wouldn't have a bad word to say about him

What are you talking about? Athlone are not turning up, not us. You know Longford Town FC? We went into the season with a weak squad and are struggling but we're not about to get kicked out of anything.

Evan is progressing but would be pleasantly surprised if he plays this season. Nothing in the Twigg rumour at all.

I seen that post last night and was wondering what he was on about!!

Apart from the Premier Division that is.
Of course you're right about not turning up.my bad ��
Maybe you could amalgamate the two clubs into one super club :o

No thanks

Surprised to see the Galvin brothers move on from Cobh, two cracking young players. Would have seen Hendo as exactly the type of manager to get the best out of them.

[brendy_éire]

Kenny Shields has spoken to Paddy McCourt.

Sammy Clingan's name was mentioned as a signing a month or so ago, but heard nothing since.

[Jofspring]

Would be two good players for us to pick up. They may head back to Waterford but with the doubt over the club, I can't understand why any player would sign for them. I've said that in the past about loads of clubs though and yet players still seem to go there.

[kksaints]

Jason McGuinness gone from Pats.

[nigel-harps1954]

Paul Hegarty rumoured to be appointed as Harps new assistant boss.

[Lim till i die]

Jason McGuinness gone from Pats.

I'd take him for a year and a half

[Dodge]

Signed for Cliftonville

[sadloserkid]

Signed for Cliftonville

Then we shall buy Cliftonville and transfer his registration!

[disgruntled]

Jason's gone to the great retirement home that is the Irish League :)

[eitoof]

Marco Chindea has left Athlone and is looking for a new club. He seems to be a decent enough player.

You have a very loose definition of decent there

Ah I know, he got 5 goals in a brutal Athlone team - some other Division 1 team might give him a go.

or a certain team about to get relegated from the top flight??

[brendy_éire]

Dean Shields has been released by Rangers. Maybe his da will bring him over to us for a while?

Mind you, our last father/son manager/player ended in tears (Roddy).

[KBurke]

Eric Foley being released by Galway United. He wants to explore options closer to Dublin

[bluewhitearmy]

We are supposedly talking to Pierce Sweeney. Ex Bray isn't he?

correct!

[nigel-harps1954]

Goalkeeper Harry Doherty played for Harps tonight against Cliftonville. He was recently with Brighton and Charlton before that. 20 years of age.

[KBurke]

John Sullivan has left Galway United

[pateen]

John Sullivan has left Galway United

Wasnt he a regular with United, any reason for leaving?

[A Wanderer]

Heard the travelling was the problem, good bloke

[IsMiseSean]

John Sullivan has left Galway United

Big loss. Added some steel to our midfield. I hope Tommy Dunne has a good replacement lined up.

[greywanderer]

Sullivan back to bray is a rumour going around.

[Jofspring]

Wouldn't mind seeing John back with us. With injuries piling up we need more midfield cover.

[KeepersBall]

Goalkeeper Harry Doherty played for Harps tonight against Cliftonville. He was recently with Brighton and Charlton before that. 20 years of age.Decent 'keeper. Released by Charlton as they had nowhere for him to move forward to, they had an English under age international ahead of him. Didn't know Brighton released him.

Currently training with the Drogs

[nigel-harps1954]

Ruairi Keating to leave Galway?

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Tim Clancy has left us

[Bray Head]

Tim Clancy has left us

He and Eric Foley played for Bray last night as a trialists against Falkirk

[WoodquayBoy]

Ruairi Keating to leave Galway?
Not official but he has gone, or is going.
Unlike Sullivan and Foley, he's no loss - if he spent less time fixing his hairband and more time getting into the box, he might have done a job for us. Was warned by Sligo fans I know that he was a bit flaky - they were bang on the money
