Can anyone who's in the know put up our squad list of what players we have for the new season please?

I'm not in the know but heres the players signed so far according to website etc but please correct or add if anyone knows differently
Goalkeeper: Richard Brush
Defenders: Gavin Peers, Alan Keane, Iarlaith Davoren, Paul Whelan, Mauro Almeida, Danny Ventre
Midfielders: Conor O'Grady, Richie Ryan, Gary McCabe, John Dillon, Eoin Doyle, Mark Doninger, Dean Marshall, John Russell (tbc)
Forwards: Mathew Blinkhorn, Padraig Amond
thats 17 players signed and as Cook stated he wanted a squad of twenty he could take another three from trialists etc
seems abit crowded in midfield although Cook might plan to use Doyle more as a striker this season, either way definetly need another striker, defender and presume Ciaran Kelly will take the other goalkeeping place if he hasnt signed already?

PAUL Peschisolido could offer a short-term contract to Benin international Romuald Boco as he tries to patch up his injury-hit squad.

No mention of John Russell lads? The star was quoting Cook as saying he was a great signing yesterday!

Almeida is gone, Foran is ours, there are still questions marks over Russell but I dont think he has signed for us yet, from what I hear.

didnt think the russell signing was on until the Star reported it and had a qoute from Cook which went something along the lines of "we're delighted to have signed someone of the calibre of John, who was one of Galway outstanding players last year"
i know the star is unreliable but would they really just make a qoute up like that, either way not too worried, i'm happy with the squad, we are short on strikers but Cook turned Raff into a striker he can do it again, remember Doyle scored alot of imporatant goals last season so we should see alot more of him in his natural position

Doyle is more a striker than a left winger tbf..
Is that not exactly what he was getting at??
More than happy with the squad at this stage. Really important to get a good start to season and if we can stay in or around Shams and Bohs im sure our turnstiles will keep on ticking over maybe allowing us to further strengthen in July and who knows how far we could go!!

According to the Irish Times, Faz is in talks with us and Galway about his move from Cork...
A couple looked likely last night to move to clubs outside the area with, most notably, Fahrudin Kudozovic talking to Galway United and Sligo Rovers, and Dan Connor on the brink of signing for St Patrick’s Athletic.

Russell has signed for Rovers.
Also, Cook still looking to bring another striker in, depending on fiances.

Very good additions to squad if this is the case. Really excited about the coming season. Did we win the (National) lotto by the way?

Ya was thinking the same myself. I know we lost Raf and Boco who were both on good money but I thought the budget was lowered this year. Good work done by Paul Cook and Gerry Carr basically assembled a whole new squad looking forward to the new season. How many players do we have 23/24.

Russell is a pre contract agreement according to the Champion, will join in July. I got the text about Almedia..though I got one bout CT also.........................

almeida is the final piece of jig-saw. More important than cretaro and boco. Incidentally, what is the situation with turner?. The silence is deafening!!

It's the feckin fiances that cause all the problems. Chris Turners bird didn't want to move to sligo and look what happened there. :mad:

Id say the Fai are lost as regards what to do especially since it his their beloved Shams that are at the center of it.

Shamrock Rovers have decided to meet Sligo Rovers half way with regard to Chris Turner. Accordingly, Turner has signed for Athlone Town.

That actually made me laugh.
Mauro confirmed and the updated finalised squad on sligorovers.com
Its great news but I am worrying for the last few days about the elephant in the room situation, massive wage bill, dont get me wrong I am delighted about the big squad after what happened in the first half of last season when we were paper thin after a few injuries. Just hope the financial heads have done their sums.

Don't worry swings and roundabouts etc. we have offloaded some heavy in hitters in boco , raf , cash ,turner and morrision and signed a lot of eager class players for less than last years outlay , major worry is Vincent Nally is gone but apparently the person pushing him can do a far better job so give him a chance before we beg Vincent to come back.
redbuli
24/02/2010, 10:51 PM
from what i heard Vincent Nally wasnt pushed at all, its been said so many times i think people are starting to believe it, apparantly it was starting to take over his life, he was up in the showgrounds nearly everyday..
lets hope the man taking over can do just as good a job
