Cook said on Fri that he had recieved only one phonecall about signing Coleman (Paul Hegarty). That dosent me to say there hasnt been interest in him.

i would have loved to hear that converstaion:D

would be pretty surprised myself if seamie is here next year,a championship side or premiership side would be very realistic for him,he definately has the potential to ply his trade in the premiership.but if he stays all the better for us!

any opinions on who are signed up next year,if we keep the core of the squad,people like brush,peers,almeida,butler[when hes back], ogrady,raf and boco etc and add 2 or 3 quality players we would be in a great position starting next season

Danny Ventre had his contract renewed I think, and as RedRebel said, if we can keep the core of our squad and add players we will be fine. Cook said his main priority is signing strikers, I agree we need strikers but its not our main priority, signing full back's back's is. With Butler out until mid next season and IF Seamie goe's abroad this winter there will be no players to fill them positions.

Foyzer for Ireland !!

As far as new players for next year go, as Cook said on Friday, we might have to look at picking the carcasses of Harps and Galway, whoever goes down. He seems to have had a lot of problems trying to convince players to move from the greater Dublin area.

Knowing Cookie he'll probably be keeping one eye on players from Accrington and Southport now and again. in all farness it has worked for him to bring players over from them clubs, some of them being our best performers Butler,Boco,Almeida,Doherty has been good for the second half of the season.

Unfortunately so. But you would think that considering the amount of players that will be out of contract for next season that at least some would be interested in going West.
Seems unusual to me that it would be easier to get players to come to Sligo from Accrington etc, than for a Irish lad to come here.
