City expected to sign Gareth Farrelly, Colin Healy & Paul Hopkins. Hopkins was at Waterford last season.

Surprised Greg O'Halloran hasn't found a club yet. Surely an ideal signing now for City and I would imagine he'd be more than keen seeing as it looks as if he'd get a regular game?
I think leaving Shels and signing for Cork City any time soon would be a backward step for any player. :D

Leaving Shels is a forward step for any player!
Good luck with the Killester lads, I'm sure they'll give a good account of themselves in the cup.

Leaving Shels & signing for anyone would be a step forward.

rumours flying around MSN that he has signed...

Rico in Beal Feirste, Healy in Falkirk.
It would want to be a large biro.
I'm optimistic.
If he said no, it'd be on Red FM and 96fm straight away.
If he said yes, they'd want to maximise the good publicity.
Also heard that there was meant to be a press conference today for the unveiling of Farrelly, Murphy, Beamish, Healy if he signed and confirming the investors. Obviously postponed.
Hopefully, there'll be word tomorrow and a conference Wednesday.

Seems to be the word about alright.
An exciting signing.
Will get a few arses out the Cross anyway.

Word from Falkirk is Colin was apprehensive about their offer as he's looking for longer-term security for his family.
I haven't seen any development on the rumours of a Wolves interest.
Rico has left him the option of a 1 or 2year contract.

I wont believe till i see it, but it would be a great signing if we actually manage it. Credit to Rico so far anyway.

I wont believe till i see it.
Indeed, i think in Farrelly we're prepared for a knock-back and the manner of the offer would suggest it's a very generous take-it or leave-it offer.
Credit to Rico so far anyway.
Yes, think he's handled the press well also.

Any news ??

I presume you meant Healy? :confused:
There seems to be more to the Farrelly deal than would appear at first. I am sure will come out in the press conference if rumour I heard true.

Farrelly has already been at 2 clubs since july the maximum allowed by FIFA. City will try to force it through with the same argument Liverpool are using for Javier Mascherano - the other clubs were on a different calendar.
I think the same might apply to hopkins who has been at waterford and bangor since july...
As both players are free agents I think City should be able to successfully challenge this.
AFAIK one of Liverpool's arguments was that EU employment law was of higher precedent than FIFA rules and West Ham could not afford to play Mascherano again because of clauses in his contract which would have triggered massive payments to his previous club. Therefore denying his registration with Liverpool would affect his employment as he would not be played at W/Ham.
With Farrelly and Hopkins it should be even more clear-cut as FIFA/EUFA have no legal right to deny them employment seeing they have no current employer. Mind you CCFC is not Liverpool...

Anyone got any news on when the forum might be back?

No. As in we'll get by with Farrelly. This moving to a third club thing shouldn't be an issue. He didn't play with Leicester so his last club before Blackpool was Bohemians (last season). Correct?
An excellent source thats good enough for me has told me Colin Healy has agreed a deal with City.:)

Good to hear even rumours of confirmation at this stage - any idea when the press conference is due?
Risteard
20/02/2007, 12:49 PM
No. They might want the Farrelly situation confirmed first but looks like that might take a while now.

If you're talking about the CCFC unofficial one then ... now:D

Cork City Football Club are very pleased to announce that terms have been agreed with former Celtic and Sunderland midfielder Colin Healy for a 2 year contract with the club.
26 year old Healy, who has 13 caps for the Republic of Ireland, expressed his delight at joining the Rebel Army. Healy told CorkCityFC.ie “I have been very impressed with the organisation and ambition displayed by everyone at Cork City over the last few weeks and I look forward to joining such a wonderfully vibrant football club.”
Manager Damien Richardson said “It is a great pleasure to welcome Colin on board. It is a great compliment to our football club and to the league that a player of his calibre has decided to join. Allied to the signings of Gareth Farrelly and Darren Murphy, this has been a most productive week for Cork City Football Club.
Richardson also confirmed to CorkCityFC.ie that he hopes that there will be further additions to the squad by the end of the week.

we'll see who's happier with their midfield come june. hows greg by the way :D
Poor Student

Whenever I saw him play for Celtic he ran around like a headless chicken without any real composure. Had a lot of raw energy and effort though. Not sure how much of that he can offer after all those injury laden years. It's a positive enough step for the league that at least this type of player can now be bothered to come here. I hope he can remain injury free and get his career back on track.

Next ye'll be signing Dion Dublin and Efan Ekoku!
Go on so sure, we'll take him.
Massive news. A huge boost to the club. Its amazing how things can turn around so quickly. Potentially excellent midfield, just need to keep out forwards fit & hope some others step up the defence positions. :cool:

Ask Paul Doolin? :D

Moderator: It can stay in eL section for now. Will move in CCFC section after a few days.
Biggest signing in the league in years. I've no idea if he will work out but obviously has ability. This will however be a good boost to the leagues positive publicity as hes played for two former irish clubs in Britian. ;)

Refering more to the spoofer but it also remains to be seen if Colin's best years are ahead. Like how do we know he's going to ever get away from Cork?

Fair point :p
But I was thinking more along the lines of over there!!
Genuinely wasn't meant as a dig at Cork City, just standards in the league in general
To accuse me of being bitter is just ludicrous :rolleyes:

With a new striker like Fenn, centre half and full back then we will win the league.:ball:
