First pre-season of the season signing concerning UCD - Alan Cawley from Waterford to Bray.

On a proper note, the club have noted that as yet (or as of the end of last week, when I meant to post this), there'd been no confirmed movements one way or the other. I presume we're going to wait until Monday's announcement before planning for next season.

I'm just wondering again, what's the situation with Gally? I assume we're losing Quigley now so I wonder if Gally will be brought back in and is he interested? He never seemed to get much of a look in at Dundalk either.

He would be a great signing for you, like i said in the main forum he has been excelent this season and most Dundalk fans are sad to see him go. As for his throw ins, he can throw the ball further and harder then most people can kick it!

I assume there must have been some falling out been Robbie and the club. Either he disappointed them with his comeback efforts or he disliked something there. It's bizarre he left like that and signed for Dundalk shortly after. I doubt we'll see him back at Belfield.

His long throws weren't missed in 2005 with Anto Murphy.;)

We don't have Anto Murphy anymore either Poor Student. And Robbie spent almost an entire campaign out injured in 2005.

Well unless his contract is up he is at the moment a UCD player as he was only on a season long loan.

Someone posted in our part of the forum that Kildare management had approached him but nothing has been announced so not sure how true that was. Certainly won't mind if County did sign him, We could do with a bit more eircom league experience up front.

Nah. He's past it, I think. One goal all season for Bohs or something? (Against us... :()

DmanDmythDledge

11/12/2006, 4:59 PM

He was still scoring regularly before he went to Bohs. I'd say it was Bohs that fecked him last year. He would also be the experienced player that Pete wanted to bring in, also in a position where we are weakest, although it does look promising with Sammon, Moran and Forsyth.

In his last season at Portadown he had lost his first team place. His wages up North were reported to be astronomical by even eL standards.

And Swaninho was pushing 240 or so.

He's 37. But yeah, his wages were very high - way too high for us I'd say - and much as I'd like to get an experienced player into the squad, I'd prefer someone who, with all due respect, seems to be a year or two past his average.

I don't know if you will need him, the 2 clubs (Falkirk and Stockport) Quigley was at in trial have both signed keepers over the last 24 hours. Could be staying with you after all ?

Falkirk only signed a keeper on loan till the end of the season- nothing concrete although it does indicate that they have decided not to sign Quigley.

Darren has expressed a desire to move into full time football and with Derry sniffing around the chances of him staying at UCD are extremely minimal.

Judging by quotes from Darren in the media he's in no great rush to go professional. If it suits him he'll take the step up. I'd imagine he has something bigger in mind than Derry. I still question where Derry could come up with the funding to pay for his transfer fee.

"I am now at the stage where I am looking to get into full-time football and I know coming to Falkirk is a big chance for me.

Presumably on a week-to-week contract then? If he signs a contract for the full season, we're laughing.

Yeah I'd say if he has actually resigned there would be a clause in his contract.

Presumably on a week-to-week contract then? If he signs a contract for the full season, we're laughing.
If it was a week to week contract we would get no money for him if he then left. Week to week contracts are rolling contracts which is basically the same as being a free agent regarding moving clubs.

That's not the only quote on him over the last few months. There was a quote in one of the papers where he said he would be willing to stay at UCD unless he found a move that was right for him and the club. That was after he'd been over with Falkirk.
