When did Alex O'Hanlon re-sign? I hadn't heard anything.

Is Markey gone? He looked quality the few times I saw him last season...

Heard he was on a two year but also heard he signed for bohs.

Markey hasn't signed for anyone yet AFAIK. He is a serious talent, would be gutted if we lost him.

Bit overloaded on midfielders

[RathfarnhamHoop]

Bit overloaded on midfielders
C Byrne, clarke, O'Hanlon, Doona can all play more advanced though so not too overloaded especially if theyre playing with one centre forward in a 433/4231 or something

[Bunny Kelly]

Having Ian Turner & Dean Clarke a bit pointless, both cover the same positions & you don't really ever see either becoming first choice, Thomas Byrne or Ryan Brennan could surely cover that position if Conan Byrne got injured

[greywanderer]

Greener might not be in Bray much longer, on the way to shamrock rovers.

[Martinho II]

wonder where Mark Salmon will be going to? Would love to see him back with ourselves as he was one of my favourite players there under Cousins..

[Dalymountrower]

Greener might not be in Bray much longer, on the way to shamrock rovers.
How Greene gets these moves is beyond me.A total spoofer of a player.

[sbgawa]

I'd love him back. 12 goals last year from the wing whats not to like.

[Ezeikial]

Greene would be a big addition to a luck lustre Rovers attack

Nearly done, still lots of trialists in including Daniel Cleary and Daniel Carr, so 2/3 more maybe I'd think

What's going on with Kenna? Has he played any preseason games yet? He wasn't playing on Sunday.

What's the story with Sean Houston? I thought he was one of Harps best players last season.

[nigel-harps1954]

What's the story with Sean Houston? I thought he was one of Harps best players last season.

Work related issues as far as I'm aware. He's supposedly not able to commit to any football for the next year or so. Would expect him to drop to intermediate for the year if he isn't being signed. Squad numbers to be released either this evening or tomorrow morning so will know for sure then I suppose.

[El-Pietro]

John O'Flynn is apparently working part time with Cork City for the More than a club initiative so I'd imagine will not be training in Donegal, or only for a couple of days a week and will be in Cork the remainder.

Horgan and Caulfied are very close so would guess there's an arrangement whereby he'll be training at Cork and up for the weekend in Donegal. Harps usually train on a Sunday morning anyway so he'll probably take part in that before going back to Cork midweek.

More than a club initiative
Could ye not have called it something else?

[patrickccfc]

Níos mó ná club?

[outspoken]

Could ye not have called it something else?

It’s an Fai/Welsh FA project funded by the EU. Bohemains are the other Irish club piloting it with 2 welsh clubs

[osarusan]

Ok, didn't know that at all, thought it was something Cork had come up with by themselves.
