Not on tonites performance he won't, be a useful number two and good cover, you need competition for all positions and that signing is typical Devo who is building a quality squad for this season.Quote:

Quigley looked like he was going to be the best keeper in the league and destined for great things in England around 2005-07, then he left UCD and subesquently developed butterfingers.Quote:

Great signing clearly one for the future, and it wasn't so much butterfingers as a succession of injuries, lets not forget he was the no.1 when Final won the Cup in '09. A great signing for the future he's only 24, has a wealth of experiece already behind him and with Matt in place it gives him a bit of time to get fit and ready and most probably displace Matt before Matt retires. With a bit of luck could have gotten ourselves a franchise no.1 here.
It's a very good signing for the club. Even if he's only going to be back-up, it's a good deal for the club. He is a very capable keeper. His career may have gone sideways but I still rate him.
With him and Gregg, I feel that could be one of our strongest positions. With all due respect to Brian Kane, I do get nervy if Gregg doesn't play.
Kane's got a lot of talent, but he does tend to have the odd shocker, and goalie is unfortunately the one position where you can't really afford that. He'll be a very good keeper in a few years time, I think.
