Know nothing about either of them but we did need a left back, would lend weight to the stories that Mick Lee is being let go/retiring. I'm sure Tallanted knows all about Rhys Gorman if he'd like to share his thoughts :). Google suggests he won LOI U19 player of the month at one stage last year so hopefully he has something about him. He looks a big lad.

seems according to tc interview on shanside thats all he intends on singing , i think we could do with one or two more seeing as we are releasing one or two
If we don't sign 2 or 3 players that can make an instant impact we are making a huge mistake considering the players athlone are bringing in. There must be money there for TC surely!
I'd say if Salmo is out long term we'll have to sign another midfielder. I wouldn't panic too much about what Athlone are doing. We have a good squad it's just about getting the best out of them and keeping our players fit. Corie Treacy should be a big help now he's back fit. Gorman is highly rated too, Rovers u19 player of the year last year I believe.
I agree,if Salmo's injury is serious we'll need to sign an extra midfielder. Heard Gorman is meant to be good but regardless, its not very comforting having a 19 year old and a 37 year old as 2/3 of your Centre Mid options.
Other then that I dont think we've any major need to sign anyone, we've quite a big squad as it is and the majority should be back after the break. People shouldn't think that just because of our League position that we're some kind of dominant power in the league with money to throw around.
I honestly believe we need 1 more striker because Gary Shaw is being played out wide, Ischi isnt going to score many and Josh is still developing as a footballer, I hate to keep banging on about Athlone but they are getting in Enda Curran to partner Philly Gorman thats quite a front line. Conor Meade from Cobh would be a great signing IMO 27 years old with plenty of LOI experience but still plenty to prove. What about Coughlan thats gone back to limerick from athlone, sneeky loan bid perhaps? Just someone who will take some pressure off sully.
Conor Meade is based in Cork. He's hardly going to up sticks and move to Dublin to play for us.
Exactly, he's hardly playing with Cobh for the money it's because it suits him. Anyone Galway based such as Curran or O'Brien is going to pick Athlone over us as it's handier than Leixlip for training. Same goes for anyone in Limerick. As said above we've quite a large squad so we'll need to get players out before we can bring some in. McDonagh could do a job in midfield possibly if necessary, though he's a bit slow.
we have plenty a mid fielders ahead a himQuote:

Get in there, didn't do me cruciate, think I still need an op but season might not be over, delighted!!! "
great news, least hes not out for the season
Good news for him and us hopefully. He'll be doing well to be back in three months though after a knee op. Could do with another body in there.
Just got confirmation in club text that we have signed David Ebbe from Shamrock Rovers. anyone know anything about him? heard of him but not sure where?
Never heard of him but have heard of a David Elebert from Shamrock RoversQuote:

Dean Ebbe, not David.
Looks like he's a striker, would which appear to rule out any move for Enda Curran.
I'm sick of seeing us sign Rovers youth players to be honest.
