Harps had hoped to sign former Togo under-20 player Thomas Amegnaglo but he's been refused a work permit.
Waterford set to sign Davy McDaid in the coming days
Also possibly signing former Shels keeper Niall Burdon.
Are you going to sing 'that's why you're champions' back after they sing it to you?Quote:

There will be cricket scores every single week in the FD. The likes of Longford and waterford are more than capable of putting 6 past the likes of athlone, CABO and even a very young UCD at times. This league will be decided on clean sheets and who wins the six pointersQuote:

Cabo have a player with more European experience than any of the UCD lads tbfQuote:

No I'm saying ye are a young team and may take the odd heavy beating as a result but overall I'd expect UCD to be closer to the top half then the bottom.Quote:

I'm not seeing what Longford have that puts ye that far ahead of us that you can talk about administering heavy beatings
Have to say I agree with that. Longford should be decent side next year , Waterford also but with Fenlon in charge don't expect fireworks. Ucd and cobh could an FC should be compeitive . 1st div could be good this year but with 3 coming down from premier for the 2018 season this season will be a lot easier to get promoted than next...a lot to play for
Having seen Waterford already, I'm tipping them for the league. Mark O'Sullivan should have had a hat-trick against us and looked like he'll tear up the league this season. I obviously haven't seen Longford, but if they're as good no other side is going to touch those 2.Quote:

Definitely seems to be the chosen stay over trip of the year for Dlk fans, being in May and the 6.30 ko is perfect.Quote:

What do the Cork lads think will happen with Browne?
If this new lad signs, that would be 9 defenders in the 1st team squad, by my count. Seems like a lot...
Well Delaney will be gone in the summer so if we lost him and Browne suddenly we're down to 7 in July, Dunleavy and Kavanagh have been injury problems for the past two seasons, so potentially as low as 5. Benno is 35, and wasn't training last season, he isn't ready for tomorrows game so there are question marks over our back 4 right now. Obvioulsy we could replace Delaney in the summer if necessary
I think hes looking for depth. A lot of our moves this summer have been to strengthen the squad. We relied on 6 or 7 players far too much last year and losing any to injury or suspension massively hampered us.
I think we're in a position now where we have a lot of players who can cover multiple positions. Griffin for example might allow Kevin O'Connor to play further forward if we wanted to do that, Beattie and McCormack have played at right back in the past and Keohane has (I believe) played at left back.
Yes he has. He played a few games at left back last season with Sligo when they were stuck but that's it. It wouldn't be his natural position though, he's always been a midfielder since underage and right through his career so far.Quote:

Not a defender this time, a winger, Christian Nanetti who was recently on trial with us
Bit of a fall from grace for the lad. Scaling the mighty heights of Welling United and Walton Casuals at his last two clubs.Quote:

Why does it say a lot about his ambition? He has played in European games plenty of times in his career and from reports around he is building a house and working in Waterford so wants to be closer to home rather than travelling for training etc.. Seems to me to be more for personal reasons than ambition.Quote:

Cork fans giving out about everything and anything.Quote:

Ah lad go easy on the sour grapes.Quote:

As mentioned already he's played in Europe numerous times with Fingal and Pats and he's won everything there is to win in Ireland. Maybe he's at a stage of his life where he wants to start a family, and wants to do that in his hometown. Maybe he wants to give his last few yrs of his career to his hometown club. We don't know the full story.
I am sympathetic to Cork in this case.Quote:

He's under contract, doesn't happen too often in the LOI, will we be due a fee if he moves?
Situations change in people's personal lives overtime. What might have been right for him a year ago may not be now.Quote:
