Mansaram and new guy up front against UCD so. Then when McT comes back, we'll worry about who we pick then but Judge has got to be dropped!

Nice one,should be interesting to see who plays up front.
Flannery is meant to be out for the rest of the season so,McT and Bellew are currently injured so its a choice between himself,Flash and Judge.
Id say he might play Flash and Judge in the UCD match,and bring the new fella on in the second half.

Its got to be between McT Flash and the new lad if he is as good as he is being reported to be. Judge isnt cutting it and Bellew and a fit Flannery would find it difficult to split the first group of three.

Bit of competition can only be good, wonder where the money is coming from though, three new players and all that.

Come on lets all hold on until we see him. I remember the day reading in The Champion when we signed Jan Vermulen and its basically said that he was a "White Guillet" - we all ran down to watch him train and agreed he was awesome - and to be fair he looked awesome, like Drago from Rocky III - in reality once he we saw him play we agreed mucker divers could do better!

The moral of the story is lets wait and see!

All we need now is George O'Callaghan and it'll be Champions League football for us next year :)

Should try to get George on Loan....would be a cheeky bit but if he dont play him against Cork,you never know.

George said in yesterday's paper that he won't be going on loan to Limerick cos he doesn't want to move to any other LOI club. Which means he'll have to look abroad for a club, Slavia Prague are rumoured to be interested in him, also, lower division English clubs.

as long as he is good in the matches i dont mind....it will take him a few weeks to get into the swing of things anyway.

i am hearing very good soundings about this guy. i know it sounds like the old cliche. but my source tells me that mc stay was really keen to sign him but because of the work permit situation he was unable and therefore passed him onto rovers. its great to have friends in high places. i hear choice is going to be a handfull for any defence . dont expect immediate miracles give him a bit of time but he will reward us big time. the ' choice ' is yours. come on the bit o red i feel very exciting times ahead.

So it did come from our Glasgow connection - at least I know my source up there is now reliable!!!

Turns out, he didn't even play for their main team either. Played with their second team which only plays in the fifth German league:o.

Here's the thread (http://offenbacherkickers.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3738).
