Agreed.

Great signing for you. Very good little player. Absolutely sick to have lost him being honest. Strange move for him being honest.

Don't see Ryan going there to be backup. He's a far better keeper than Schlingermann imo.

Is Daryl Horgan a free agent or is still on a contract with Cork?

He's a free agent

I thought Daryl Horgan was supposed to have really impressed on trial over in the uk. Would be surprised if he didn't sign for a team over there. There was rumour we were trying to bring him in but that seems to be gone.

I see on Twitter Danny North has tweeted about Elbert getting an offer from Kilmarnock.

Get him to go to Derry for quick and fair solidarity payment!

Its almost unbelievable that we are into the last month of the year and Derry have not given Dundalk a cent (or penny!) for the services of Mark Griffin. Almost as if the response was 'Well he didnt really work out, so we're not going to pay the fee due'

They'll have to pay it or have reached an agreement to pay it to get a licence next year won't they? That's usually the spur to make these type of payments for many clubs.

Can't get a license with payables due to other clubs unless they reach agreement between them regarding payment

[QUOTE=cestlavie;1721106]If Roddy Collins becomes the next Derry City manager he is looking for Enda Curran to join him from Athlone. Roddy has said to prospective players that he is going to Derry.

What I should have said at the time was Roddy got in touch with Curran & said he was going to Derry & your coming with me. This was way in advance of the so called interview. Looks like it has all played out.

According to Pizza, Roddy was sounding him out about joining him at "another LOI club" next season, the night we lost up there. But really, he wanted to stay with Athlone.

Ivan Sproule quit Ross County to return home for personal reasons. Sligo and Derry are both relatively close to where he's from...

Perhaps in the mess that was our club last year that the proper procedure wasn't followed in relation to offering Griffin a new contract within the correct time frame and this is why no fee has been paid or will be paid.

No I dont think this is correct, I was told proper procedure was followed and he was indeed offered a contract.

This won't be huge money that Derry need to pay, but it will be in the region of 8-10k I think.

Don't think it'd be close to that much based on other recent agreements. No doubt neither club will mention the figure publicly thogh with Dundalk leaking that it's a good amount and Derry leaking it's half that.

Danny North re-signs

I'm pretty satisfied with our off-season business so far. Slight disappointment - but not much - about Lynch and Elding going, and slight reservations - but not a lot - about North; otherwise we've kept most of the players I'd like us to have kept and I'm happy enough seeing Ventre and Davoren go. We're still missing a playmaker - it remains to be seen whether we can get Djilali back, but if not we need Baraclough to find a high-quality replacement. We also need another good striker.

Also happy enough with the business done so far. The one I really want to see signed now is Djilali.Class act.

Djilali will definitely be back for Sligo. No question at all.

The only area they look weaker is at the back. Davoran is a better left full than Ledwith. Apart from that they're in good shape (as are the other 2 teams from last year's top 3).

Rumour has it that Ryan Brennan is on the verge of joining Shamrock Rovers on a 2 year deal.

Maybe, but is he a better full back than Ross Gaynor? I think not.

Havent seen enough of Ledwith to comment on that. The trouble with Davoren is that he just seems to pick up injuries ... played 18 times this year and only 14 times in 2012. When he is playing he cant train every day either from what I hear. Bara seems to be going for younger players with points to prove in certain positions. Also we have Gaynor for left back, he's an Ok defender at this level but his positioning can be suspect.

Edit: he could have been ran after that sh_it with John Terry the night we won the league, a lot of people were p!ssed off over that.

I hope he gets the game time. I thought he would have been better staying at Drogheda. He has ambitions to play in England and sitting on a bench will not help.

Rovers let all their midfielders go, remember? Even Finn might not be staying. Unless Croly is planning on bussing in a load of players from Europe, it looks like whoever he signs will get game time.

edit: Am I correct that Ryan Brennan is the youngest Brennan? The one who looks least like a Brennan?

If the rumours of Bradley coming in to replace Finn are true, I might start supporting Dundalk.

Is that it? Looks to me like a guy having a laugh after helping his team to win the league. Hardly worth getting upset over.

I had no problem with at all with the John Terry thing - people complain that there are no characters in football any more. Dav's generally a good player, with a big plus side to him, but prone to occasional horrible, and costly, lapses in concentration.
