Sporting looking to sign Pat's Gary O Neil, Boh's Thomas Heary, Galway's Gary Rogers and Drogheda's Shauna Maher
http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...l-1570499.html
Just wondering what some of the fans from each club involved thought of these players.
From what little I've seen of them all they'd all be good first division signings. Possibly pricey too though.
O'Neill's a great workhorse. Brilliant at keeping the ball up and a handful for any defender. Doesn't score enough at the top level though, and has been injured every season I can remember.
He's been offered a deal by Pats (less money than last year)
If, Fingal sign those players and keep their current squad, I think they will walk the First Division next season.
What players are Fingal keeping from last seasons squad??has there been any word yet??
And how many of our released players are joining ye??;)
Heard a rumour that ye are talking to Ben Whelehan, Jamie Duffy and Ian Ryan!!
Wouldnt mind a few.Quote:

Sporting poised to sign forward trio
January 7, 2009
Sporting Fingal manager Liam Buckley has been linked with moves for three forwards – all of whom played Premier Division football last season.
Sporting are regarded as one of the most ambitious sides in the League of Ireland, having confirmed that they will operate off an increased budget in 2009.
Former Shamrock Rovers and St Patrick’s Athletic chief Buckley is intently focused on leading the north Dublin outfit into the top flight at the second time of asking, and will attempt to add plenty of firepower with the acquisitions of Gary O’Neill, Ger Rowe and Ross Gaynor.
O’Neill parted company with St Pats at the end of last season and Rowe looks set to leave Bray Wanderers after two years at the Carlisle Grounds.
Gaynor, meanwhile, is a hot property following an impressive second half of the 2008 season with Cobh Ramblers.
The 21-year-old County Louth man returned to Ireland last year after a spell as a trainee at English League side Millwall.
Are ye keeping that puff doyle??
Aw, do you want him?..:D:p
Gaynor is a **** hot striker, way too good for first division!!! Unbelievable siginig if ye do get him, i act thought it was already done!!!!
Yeah you wish...whats with all the hostilities Dunny????:mad:Quote:

Very good signings for the First Division. I'm going sticking a tenner on Sporting Fingal to win the League anyways. :)Quote:

Yeah he can warm the bench with his tights.
