Will we? Said whom? If your going by players linked, your forgetting this is a RUMOURS thread. Just for the record, Stephen Kenny was in the Derry journal today dismissing speculation linking us with Twigg & Oman, so there's 2 that can be scrapped off the rumour list to DerryQuote:

I don't think he's good enough to start for a Premier Division team. SC will find someone.Quote:

Add into that 3 or 4 more players and i would be hoping for a good season ahead. Looking like our best squad assembled in a long time.Quote:

Simples.
Ryan, Purcell, Frost, potentially O'Callaghan plus a mystery right back is the makings of a very good back five.Quote:

O'Flynn is 15 to 25 goals a season guaranteed, a lot of the lads were giving out about his form last year because he only scored 9 in 15!!
Sheehan will cause problems in First Division, I'd love to see John Tierney have a change of heart as he's arguably one of the best players in the Division but Sheehan is a replacement of sorts.
So good bones of a team there and I'd like to think we'll be there or there about but would like to see a centre half/right full, a bit of experience in midfield and a striker come in. :ball:
Just re-sign Rhys Meynell and there is Barry Ryan's replacementQuote:

Colin Hawkins, Vinny Faherty, Conor O'Grady, Faz Kuduzovic, Chris Turner, Ciaran Kelly, Anto Flood, Shaun Kelly, Alan Kirby.
Seannie has always been good at talkingQuote:

If Humpty has been in touch with any of those it was to touch them up for a few bob.Quote:

I think that would be not a good move for Madden. Stuttgart has so much trouble at the moment. It's real chaos club. The current manager will not be in charge after the winter break, that's for sure... and It's rumoured that Bruno Labbadia might be the new man. However Labbadia is a fool and most people expecting that if he will become the new manager he will it not for a long time. So it's pure chaos there. Of course I would be happy to see Madden in Germany, but not in Stuttgart.
Any interest from Derby? or anyone in the top 4 leagues in England?Quote:

Yes Derby were reportedly in for him for around 60k while Celtic offered 100k it was accepted but madden and Celtic couldnt agree terms.Quote:

Sorry, when i said interest I meant offers. He (or Bohs) hasn't been offered a penny by anyone in England
There apparently was an offer on the table from Celtic (believed to be 100K) which was (not surprisingly) acceptable to Bohs but player rejected the offer as he could not agree personal terms with Celtic.Quote:
