You'll be signing him with your budget smaller than most First Division clubs, yeah?Quote:

Can't see us signing Hawkins, unless he is willing to take a small wage. If Vinny Faherty has left Pats, I'd say there is a chance he might come back to us
Yup, and then release him in June, can you not keep up!!Quote:

He was, looking at Sheppard to replace Dessie Baker apparently. Ian Foster and Paul Cook were also there, and it was hardly for the want of something to do of a Tuesday night. I'd imagine both would be interested in Seamus Conneely, who was immense last nightQuote:

part-time obviously.
He works in Tallaght hospital so it will be part timeQuote:

Who's your second alongside Twigg with Baker gone? Barrett?Quote:

Karl Sheppard or Jake Kelly would be out of their minds to sign for Rovers as a 3rd choice striker. They are both at crucial stages of their respective careers so to sign to play bit parts would do them more bad than good. and FYI, Jake plays left wing :) It was roumered he was looking at Shane O'Neill earlier in the season too but i'm almost sure he signed a new 2 years contract a few months back.Quote:

Stewart I assume. He got a few goals this year didn't he?Quote:

Paddy Madden at Bohs this season showed the potential problems in relying on a young developing player too heavily. Hopefully we get one of those two who is able to challenge another new signing as the partner for Twigg.Quote:
