City will be able to put out a very good eleven but don't have the squad to compete with Drogheda and Derry if they get a few injuries IMO. Could do with another couple of decent quality signings.

Did Healy not have an offer from Aberdeen aswell? Me thinks Cork are hoping to sell him at the end of the season for big bucks!

He had a firm offer from Falkirk for definate but I've seen no mention anywhere over here of Aberdeen being interested in him.

I disagree. League is won by first team as proven in 2005 with just decent bench required.
Another forward expected to sign too. I'll admit Drogs have strong squad but IMO should have sacked Doolin & replaced with Fenlon. Derry City have not improved & if anything have lost squad backup in the close season.
Fitness will obviously be a big factor.

Yes but the first team that season didn't have a lot of injuries to put up with other than the usual JOF absences. Yes Doyle was lost too after a dozen or so games but Fenn had been brought in so it was managable. The back 4 and GOC remained fairly constant of I recall correctly?
You can't expect to carry that luck with regards injuries most seasons. Losing "good" players and replacing them with "decent" ones due to injury or suspension will have an effect sooner or later and that's why I think City need more depth.

With a new striker like Fenn, centre half and full back then we will win the league.:ball:
You mean like Fenn, except one that scores more then 5 league goals a season;)
Cork look pretty weak up front. Once O'Flynn gets injured. Which he will
I think the squad is very important pete. Particularly for Cork with Farrelly, JOF and Healy all having seriuous question marks over their fitness

We're not finished signing players yet.
Watch this space...

Also, left back is quite a weak area. They have Woods who is getting on a bit and Daz Ryan for cover who is a huge liability there.

No fear of UCD or the SPA's ever troubling our fullbacks.
Thanks for the concern though.
By the way, Ray Lally can also operate at left-full.
CCFC has the best under age system in the country producing quality players for top half of the Premier table.
Of recent squad members players such Horgan, Bennet, Lordan, Softic, Behan, McNulty have come through... so will expect a few more to also break through.

:D
Quigley, Dicker, Finn, Delaney, Barry Ryan, McDonnell...the list is endless.

Quigley, Dicker, Finn, Delaney, Barry Ryan, McDonnell...the list is endless.
Joe Gamble, Damian Delaney, Shane Long, Brian Barry Murphy, Colin O'Brien and then improving young players who come to us from elsewhere like Doyle, O'Donovan, Danny Murphy etc
Then just for good measure look at our record in youth and u-21 football ;)
Only one anywhere near is UCD I suppose

Looks like City should be able to compete this year.
Colin Healy signed because he wanted 1st team football and its only in Cork that he was guaranteed a game every week.
I expect the city team to look something like this
Devine
Lordan Murphy/O'Callaghan Murray Ryan
Gamble Healy Farrelly Kearney
O'Donovan O'Flynn

Definately need a striker but if there was one attainable signing left, I'd definately want it to be Neal Horgan.
Welcome Colin Healy!!

You signed Quigley from us. And we signed him from elsewhere.

I did say the top half of the Premier & those players only recognised once they left UCD. Its easy to bring young players into yout team when not competing for honours which is why Bray not included.

1. We are a top half team
2. They all won either U-21 or B international call-/ups/caps while at UCD, bar McDonnell, who was wanted by clubs in England. But sure don't let facts get in the way of your wumming.:rolleyes:

Healy snub baffles Bairns
Friday Mar 02 2007 11:59
Falkirk boss John Hughes cannot understand why former Celtic midfielder Colin Healy opted to sign for Cork City rather than the Bairns.
Hughes had been keen to land the 26-year-old who had his Barnsley contract cancelled by mutual consent earlier this season.
However, Healy has decided to pen a two-year contract with his hometown club, a decision which baffles Hughes.
When asked about Healy's choice, the Bairns boss said: "You'll have to ask him that yourself.
"But there are boys here who've been patient in waiting for their chance to come, so one or two of them might now get the opportunity to show what they can do."
When asked about Healy's choice, the Bairns boss said: "You'll have to ask him that yourself.
Errrr Mr. Hughes....Two year contract versus 3 month?
:rolleyes:

Exactly, if you were patient for that long you could miss your bus :eek:
