Positions are they????
According to tonight’s Evening Echo, Cork City are awaiting on work permits for two Nigerian players. One of the players is 21-year-old midfielder Michael N****o. The other is believed to be a striker. Both players were recommended to Pat Dolan by their American agent and have been playing in the Egyptian first division recently for a Cairo club. The duo were signed before the August transfer deadline, and City are now in talks with the Nigerian Embassy in Dublin in an attempt to speed up the paper work.
So much for Dolan giving local talent a run out. First the ozzie, now a couple of nigerians. It's hardly farranree and togher. What about Warren, CP O Brien, Mucca. I think half the buzz of following City is the fact the Flynny and George are Cork men.

To be honest, I don't care if the players are from Cork or anywhere else in the world as long as they perform well for CCFC, are passionate about playing for the club and have pride in the jersey.

agreed. If they're from Cork, brilliant, if not who cares where they're from, once they do the business

i'll freely admit to being a racist against people from togher!
(only joking, t'is of course a lovely area).
i've no problems with dolan bringing in people from outside cork, as long as they're significant upgrades on what we have (doyles rather than heddermans).
Dolan brought Livingston to SPA, (if I'm wrong I'll have the usual know-all on to tell me!), didn't he?
If either guy is as successful as that for us, I'd be well happy. Given that City want them ready to play in the Bohs game, maybe they are straight into the first team material?
I have to say that Casey is turnng out to be a major disappointment, and unless he wakes up, starts getting stuck in and doing his bit of slogging, I think he should be let go. Maybe Laim Kearney will shake him up.
Dolan has brought in Hedderman, Packer and Casey and maybe, (controversially !;) ) Derek, and none have been a success so far.

once they're good enough i couldn't care less where they're from, it's all well and good to talk about having local lads in the side, and we have two of the best in george and Flynny, but what we need is top quality players regardless of where they're from.
Hope they do better than Adewale, Saiba Ishola and So Fetmu - post-Iorfa Africans...for one game only.

Can someone please tell me why City fans moan about everything?.We have signed two new players and people are moaning that they are not from Cork.What next?.I think the thought of having a couple of decent coloured foreign players might go down well with City fans who are always looking for new heroes and also with the sizeable Non-national community here in Cork.I hear all the Chelsea fans moan that Crespo is not from Croydon and Gerimi from Chelsea village.Chill out lads...

Interesting that we're supposed to be signing two nigerians around the time that Spillage printed his racism nonsense. Guess this will prove if ccfc fans are racist or not.
I seem to have been branded a bit of a racist here, and in fairness i can see the way my post could be read that way. What I meant was that I would rather see City succeed with local lads. I enjoy it more, knowing that Georgie is from Whitechurch, and not from some gaff I havent a clue about. It is easier to identify with, and I think gives more pride in the club.
I am fully aware that Dan Murray is a great player, maybe our best ever centre half, but I would be more proud of City if he was a local lad.
As for having something against Farranree and Togher, ye probably reckoned I was from some snobby gaff. Blackpool, born and bred (as someone wrote above)

see your point alright ali, there is something about having a olcal team, but I think it just depends how a fella settles in the area. Look at the likes of Alek Ludzic and compare him to someone like Gerland Dobbs or Liam O'Brien. It depends on the person
from citynet:

Nice of their agent to recommend them. What next...their mother tell Pat how great their boys are.
:D
Nwan*o or Nwa*ko isn't the best name for away games.

I reckon Moses will "inernally combust" when he sees these guys run on the pitch in City gear.
The guy will be so confused it will be priceless.
Mind you Moses wearing a white pillow case over his head has it's positive side...........!:D

They can call him anything they like so long as he's running the show in midfield for us.
Kevin Hunt could have been ridiculed by the away supporters but most just marvel at his ability.

Considering these guys were just recommended by someone else and considering the amount of players we've taken on trials and such, how bout we wait and see if they are any good until we talk about the addition they'll make to the squad.

And if they end up staying at city we'll have to get the admins here and at citynet to take wa*k out of the banned swear word list.
i had to laugh at some guy who said pat picked them up for nothing while walking in pope's quay. yeah i know it's probably slightly racist but i had to laugh.
yeah best of luck to them. any guys who can survive egyptian football must be tough
