Josh'es job is to score goals, Rhys'es job is to create chances for the team and himself if it's on
Very tough call I think, I'll be happy either way,
I think they have both been an excellent additions to the squad and don't look out of place at all, let hope De Town get promoted so we can attract better players and the young lads can learn and grow into the potential they are showing
Just on the Sully situation does anyone else think it's ridiculous that he hasn't been offered a new contract yet? If we don't go up there's not a hope in hell of keeping him so why not try to tie him down now. It's not like a new manager wouldn't want him if one came in. That's just my feeling on it anyway. I've also heard Rhys is been looked at by Stephen Kenny so why aren't we tieing down these young talents like Rhys, Connolly, Ebbe and O'Hanlon as I agree that thy are the players we need to build around next season should we not go up.
I know a shamrock rovers member he said rhys was their u18 + u19 player of the year kenny was there then so would know him so might be true
It's in the players' interests to hold off on signing anything until they see what offers they have. And who the manager will be. I'm sure Cousins has spoken to them already.Quote:

I interviewed him for the match programme on Saturday and my final question was wheter hed be with us next year or not. He said he was only concentrating on doing whats best for LTFC right now and will sit down and weigh any offers at the end of the season. So from the sounds of that he defo hasnt signed anything nd if we dont go up i wouldnt expect him too either.Quote:

You'd imagine he'll have offers alright but I'm not sure which club would suit him best. Get the impression from various interviews with him that he's not overly fond of Bray from his time there, Bohs and Shels have no money at all. Pats have good strikers already, would Rovers want him? He probably wouldn't go full time for an Irish club either given he has a decent job in the bank. Would he fancy travelling to Dundalk or Drogheda three or four nights a week?Quote:

No point in signing up players that a new man doesn't fancy - we'd be basically be giving them a free pass for the first season as they'd have the "not my players" excuse to hide behind.Quote:

Be interesting to see if Roddy puts in a sneaky offer for him.
If they were signed up now, the club would have to pay them through the winter I'd imagine.Quote:
