Not Keedy please! Hes just a mercenary!

Can't see Billy back at city yet. With Rovers looking like back in euro footie & new stadium 'n all. I do think he will come back to city sometime but just not yet.

Ya but Rovers need money more than us! They are fcuked (short term) cos of their stadium. I think that they owe £500,000 that they dont have.

While Rovers may not be flush with cash selling Billy Woods ain't gonna make no difference to that. Maybe that song they brought out will go triple platnum acrposs europe & all their money problems be over ;)

I think they need 1.5million quid to finish phase 1 of tala to be funded with 500k from the FAI, government & "investors".

Tala will be good for the league & if you've been to Inchicore you have nothing to fear from Tala.

The cruel luck of this year is that Citys euro chances are more or less dependent on shamrock rovers winning the cup. :eek:

I'm thinking they're not buying anyone in, so looking for a replacement would mean looking internally for a replacement. It is not like they have a fee to spend...

We have an u-17 a youths and a u-21 squad at the club, each team with a few left sided players in it. Shane Browne does a good job for the U-21 on the left side of midfield, I'm sure ther are others @ Gunther College

Doesn't Billy Woods work in Cork? Surely he would be interested in a move back home. Didn't he almost return last season?

He would make the perfect replacement. As for Keddy, I've never been impressed with him.

AFAIK Darren Swaine is the only other naturally left-footed left-winger in the club besides ollie......

Ronnald Mc Donnald would do the trick
