Shams and Killian Brennan were made for each other
Yeah, we got on really well the last time. Precious memories.
M Quigley to Bohs a bit of a surprise. Cantwell re-signing at Galway is news(good) to me, and any info on John Sullivan?
Cantwell signs new dealQuote:

That looks to be a solid enough squad from Pats, but would your really only go with 2 strikers?
PS, you're never going to update that signature are you :-)
McGrath played up front for most of last season.
Sure we're the league Cup Champions now :-)Quote:

Outstanding as a striker? I remember him scoring against us but don't remember him scoring a lot of other goals.
He's a great young talent.
He didn't score a lot but he's a terrific talent. Played mostly for Pats u19s as a No 10 and was played wide with Ireland u19sQuote:

I saw him a couple of times for Pats U19s and he seemed to play as a sort of deep-lying forward. Buckley seemed to try and make him a striker after Kilduff left and Greene showed he wasn't really suited.
McGrath is from my home town so i know a fair bit about him. He's usually been a no 10 right through his underage years with club and Irish development squads etc. That's his best position imho. Buckley played him up front for most of last season, but that's not his natural position, however Buckley still felt that he was a better option up there than Kilduff or Langley when Fagan was injured. Given how Pats play i think he was actually a decent option up front and probably was able to link up better with the other attackers than either Langley or Kilduff would do.Quote:

To be fair McGrath was picked ahead of Kilduff, and his form kept him out of the team (before he left). He was definitely out second striker last year but Fagan's injuries meant he played a lot more than he was supposed toQuote:

Yep. Of course
Has Aaron Greene signed somewhere and I missed it?
