No Raf or Connor G

[scotsbeer]

no mention of either player signing for next season in the list just announced on gbfm.2 big big players for the club who would easily be able for the top league. hopefully they are still in negotiations for next season. didnt hear barry murphy mentioned either. anyone know the score there?

[GuisaSaigon]

TONY SPOKE TO HALF THE SQUAD YESTERDAY AND HE IS SPEAKING TO THE OTHER HALF TODAY. I'd say there will be more announcements tomorrow

[gufct]

Conor would be a new signing as he was only on loan from Harps.First of many new signings to be announced tomorrow.

[corbyeire]

do you think mick o donnell will leave or get an offer?

[Only1Rovers]

What sort of season do ya'll think Raf had? One of your better players?

[corbyeire]

certainly awful talented - had a good few tricks up his sleeve tended to play full back much more after he came back from injury and didnt seem as creative or influential as he was before

think he would be better on the wing - providing corsses etc. - good physical sort aswell able to put it about in some of the tighter matches - especially for a smaller fella

[MyTown]

Raf had a great year for us. Remember he played under two very different managers in his first season with a club that had a traditional rivalry with his home club. I thought he did great and suffered a bit from being midfield one week and right full the next. I think his motivation dipped a bit towards the end, but I think he's definitely premier standard. His hunger and all action style will always make him a favourite with supporters.

I know your new manager has big plans - but if we lose Raf, I think you'll be getting back a major major player.

I hear Barry Ryan is staying at Pat's. Anyone got Marco Rapetti's number?
:)

[Tribesman]

He had an ok season, took time to settle in, then a new manager took over and he also sustained a bad injury. Would think there is more to come from him if he stays.

[Red4Eva]

raf never settled with galway bcos of all the travelling and from everytime i was talkin to him during the season i got the impression he was bitter bout the situation with the last manager&that he never wanted to leave rovers

[JC_GUFC]

Heard that we're signing Steven Pressley on a free from Hearts. Apparently he wants to keep wearing maroon.

[scotsbeer]

elvis is a legend but having one jambo following united is surely enough jc !! there is a small band of jambo supporters now spreading the word of gufc in edinburgh

[maradonna]

raf is to sign 4 sligo 2mor the deal is done family business commitments and personal reasons is why hes goin bac luved galway tho frm wat i hear and didnt want ta leave.

[Red4Eva]

maradonna's 9 posts have all been about 1 player. welcome back raf ;)

[maradonna]

the posts may have been about 1 player but wen u see and chat to the person in question most days u hear wats goin wit him

[galwayhoop]

all 10 :D

[Terry]

can you not type in english maradonna !!!

[gufct]

Good luck to Raf the new house he had just built was what swung it .He will be welcome back in Terryland anytime bar the local derby of course.

John Lester is a definite signing and if Tony gets the best out of him he will be a great signing,Barry Ryan is a no no we couldnt agree terms with him so Pats obviously have a bigger budget than us.

[Terry]

Lester better take it easy so over the xmas and start losing the pounds, although he is an excellent deadball specialist and will score a few goals.

[harps1954]

In the Donegal on Sunday paper yesterday, the Harps Secretary confirmed that Harps had turned down an offer for Conor Gethins - looks like he will be staying with Harps unless Galway up their offer.

[Terry]

you dont know what harps are looking for by any chance?

[maradonna]

cant see harps letting gethins go be a massive loss for them.also heard yesterday ogrady is going to harps.

[gufct]

they wont be offering the crazy money harps are looking for him. Terry John Lester is on a fitness programme and is reported to have lost a stone!!!!!!!

[harps1954]

you dont know what harps are looking for by any chance?

I wouldn't have a clue, but I'd hope they wouldn't let him go for less than €20k. He still has a year left to run on his contract, so if Galway want him I'd say they will have to cough up big time.

[Terry]

Thats good news gufct and lets hope he can keep up the good work !

[GUISAUltra]

i heard somewhere that they were looking for 30k, dont know how true this is but i can't see us handing out that much money for one player but i s uppose it could depend on how the christmas shopping goes

[JW.]

John Lester is a very classy midfielder. This move could be the making of him.

[GUISAUltra]

ya he is a good player and full time football will hopefully see him improve more and more. i know his fitness levels aren't that great but with this new fitness programme, he should be able to shed a good bit of weight and improve his fitness

[Trainee]

Raf gone he offically signed today

Gethins we will strugle to get him as harps have turened 2 offers from 2 clubs all ready ( heard this from a source in letterkenny)

[Conor H]

T lose 2 of them would be a disaster.

Our strikeforce is currently very very average for Premier Divison.In fact it's simply not good enough.I'm sure TC will make plenty of more than capable signings but i'd like one or two before xmas to setlle the nerves.

Our current squad wouldn't win the 1st Divison.

[Terry]

Our current squad wouldn't win the 1st Divison.

Surely you mean our current squad wouldnt finish 3rd in the first division :D
