That would be a huge statement of intent by Dundalk.

I'd agree a few more with good experience like G Brennan will compliment the younger players re-signed - fair play to the drogs for moving quickly to sign up their stars from last season - still a few more from that group that will hopefully be added over the next few days/weeks!Quote:

McCaffrey was on loan from the sham rovers. Is this another loan or a permanent move?Quote:

Two good signings I understand they were both free to sign (Rovers contracts ran to end of season) so great bit of business for the Drogs, Purdy really came into it latter part of season - McCaffery (thought there be a few other clubs chasing him) scored some vital goals, P Mahon is putting a decent young side together as most of those re-signed average age comes in around 21-22 yrs of age! With the two Brennan's; S Thornton and possibly few more experienced lads staying in the premier div becoming more realistic.Quote:

Clarke is pretty obviously better than him on and off the ball, in terms of workrate and quite clearly attitude too.Quote:

Looks like it's a guff off season from us then.
All bluster and nonsense and end up with Dave scully and ucds third choice centre half.

Mark Timlin is coming back to Derry, according to the Mirror. He'd be a great signing for us.
He was always excellent for Derry last year. Had some excellent showings for st pats but also a few mediocre ones when I felt he was played out of position as a striker. In fairness, pats centre midfield going missing for the whole season probably didn't help him.Quote:

He didn't play once as a striker for Pats, and his last decent performance was in April.Quote:
