Planning for next season how many players are on 2 year contracts , afaik, cherrie, connolly and lewis are the only players. Kevin lynch, hughie, kenna where only year contracts. Surely its now time to sign these players back for next season..

Kenny was in the paper the other day saying 10/11 of the players were already signed up, didn't give names but did say there had been interest in Connolly but that we was already on a 2 year deal and expected him to stay.

I'd say it would take a fairly large sum for the club to sell him...

Good stuff! Hope they announce who has signed soon, looking forward to seeing what they can put together for March! :)

I wouldn't take less than 75k for Dyl. Christy Fagan spotted leaving Carlisle other night

75k is massive money between LoI clubs.

Would be interesting to know what fees have been involved in other deals.

Kenna and Clancy re-signed.

Good stuff!

Hopefully we can hold on to:
Cherrie

Douglas
Lynch
Harding
Kehoe
Clancy
Kenna


Connolly
Salmon
Sullivan
Noone
Brennan

Kelly
Pender
Lewis

If we can add another central defender, wide midfielders and a top goalscorer we could be a good position!

Also, i seen Gavin Holohan left Cork, he would be great too! Christy fagan would be class upfront but he is linked with Cork and Dundalk so doubt that we would sign him!!

Lewis not interested in coming back, from what I heard, dundalk have already offered 50k for connolly but Bray refused and also say that connolly is not leaving.

That's Dundalk's problem. Nobody's going to accept an offer like that when everyone knows they're packing millions.

As predicted, it has been confirmed that Lewis isn't returning for next season.

Hearing rumours that Gary McCabe has or is about to sign up. If it's correct does this mean that Connolly might be moving on, hopefully Connolly staying also. .

It looks like the new website is updating the squad as players sign, if thats the case we have a really good squad together already!

Gk: Cherrie and Steacey

Defenders: Douglas, Clancy, Kenna, Lynch, Harding, Kehoe

Midfielders: Sullivan, Salmon, Moore, Connolly, Noone, Brennan, Marks, Early

Forwards: Pender, Kelly

This is not a bad squad already! If the rumours are true and the likes of Fagan, McCabe, Waters, Meenan and Holohan all sign or even a few of em sign we will really be pushing the top teams!

Strong in midfield in numbers but I'd like to see a decent striker added to that list. I'm sure there will be more added.

Not sure if McCabe has the legs to be an out an out winger these days. He may have played more central last season for Rovers. Experienced player who would add a lot to the squad.

Longford Town have announced pre-season friendlies, the first of which sees Alan Mathews back at the Carlisle Grounds on January 17th. It's not that long away really... http://www.extratime.ie/articles/18007/longford-announce-pre-season-friendlies-while-seven-re-sign-at-the-city-calling-stadium/

Bray Wanderers v Longford Town Venue: Carlisle Grounds
Date: Friday 27th January 2017
Kick off: 7.45pm

I thought you made a mistake a friendly in January but there it was on Longford's web site on the 27th not the 17th but I still can't believe it, you would imagine they will be back training a couple of weeks before that makes for a long season and afaik unpaid until the actual season starts

I guess with the season starting a couple of weeks earlier, friendlies will be earlier as well?

It's only what - four weeks out from the start of the season? Seems reasonable for a first friendly.

Another midfielder announced - Keith Buckley from Bohs! Very strong in the middle! Another striker and some wide players and we could really push on this year!

No, doesnt look like he has, he is on the PFAI Transfer List and has been removed from the clubs website. Also Harding and Dean Kelly have been taken off the website so must have left.

Wouldnt mind another right back to back up Hughie and striker too... Other than that I would be happy with the squad!
