I would be gutted if he left.
He wasn't expected to get in to the first team and could easily have been a fadeing mid-season signing that wasn't deemed worth hanging on to at seasons end.
Willie Bruton and Vinny Sullivan are prime examples and they (well the latter anyway) are established premier players.
Leon has developed with every game imo.
He's definitely more of a right winger (something we need) and has a good attitude owing to a spell messing around with no name teams whilst going to college etc.
He is among a group of players who've been offered standard renewals (e30 extra basic and considerably improved bonuses).
However, the others had existing properly negotiated CCFC deals. The likes of Softic, Kelly and Carroll were happy to retain a salary slightly improved in full-time ball.
McSweeneys initial contract was probably like a long-term paid trial to see if he was up to full-time professional standard.
Thus, offering the generic minor pay-rise is a bit lousy in his case.
He's right to want a further improvement and he could get it elsewhere.
Gilberto are Salthill sponsored by Ambrosia? :DQuote:

>Lads, any truth Alan Matthews is taking over at Shels with Keely moving upstairs to a "Director of Football 2 role ?

Leon McSweeney to Bohs is looking like it's gonna happen.
I hope it goes just as well as the last player ye signed from us :)Quote:

He was devastated to be let go, Id say he'll be looking to get back at GUFC ASAP if Cousins goes!Quote:

Absolute top drawer signing if he comes and we could get him interested.
It's a big if though, he wasn't interested playing Premier for Galway so can't for the life of me see why he would give a toss with Limerick.
How concrete are these rumours though lads?? I mean, genuinely I'd be amazed if we were paying anyone over 200 quid next year.
It was in the Evening Herald last night that St Pat's and Bohs are set to talk again this week about John Paul Kelly going to Richmond. Deal fell apart last week apparently.
The same paper also said that Bohs are very close to signing McSweeny from Cork. Deal should be done in the next few days it said.
