Yeah seems to be the policy to only sign players now that are either fulltime footballers or who will become fulltime footballers.Quote:

yes northsider this is exactly what i am saying.the premiership is superior to the el,i cant stomach barstoolers but "their" league is better and unfortunately they poach players @ a young age.i would love to see flynny line out for spurs or newcastle,but similiarly i want him at city and in irish green up front wit crowe in portugal04,but will it happen?

As joe said theres about 12 fulltime football players in the current city squad. Any players signed this season were on a fulltime basis. Only Bohs, $hel$ & Pats have more 'fulltime' players.
barret from longford is looking like a great prospect
a player along the lines of hunt or osam
mbabzi!!!!!!!!!!!
kearney looked good mind you that was only against sari
jamie harris looks quite good
according to the city text reports aberdeen are tabling a 100,000 euro bid for flynny and some other scotish team are in the running too mind you i got a text much the same a few months ago.
ian fraher is looking a good prospect with the u21s hes only 16 or 17 he was good against sari and alright against bolton.
jamie nolan ray lally and damien roddis are all looking promising too.
The transfer deadline passed last week.Quote:

Anyway, from what i've heard, those text reports arent too reliable.
noel hunt left for 1/4million so that means we'd want double that for jof
We're fairly fcuked...come buy our players...got some very tasty ones that would walk in to ye're side...Paul Finnucane, a left footed centre half is better by a mile than Coughlan or Bennet and would be pushing Murray.Our midfielders Keating and Sweeney..Keating ye've already tried to sign and is totally class, Sweeney a workhorse of a player...and of course Steven O'Flynn who ye already know. Give us 1/2 a million for the four and we'll throw in a couple of very proactive helpful committee members as well!!!:D :D
forget about kirby and barrett, i don't think they would , kirby wouldn't go to his home club waterford, what makes you think he'd go near yee, barrett is a god at de town, there would be a rovers style riot in the streets of longford if he was allowed leave !!!
but you'll need someone yo replace o'flynn, i can see a certain person who wears a very large suit wanting to cash in on the player.
When UCD were down here during the season there was a blondie fella in Centre Mid, Honestly he was the best Mid I saw all season, can't rem his name tho.
whereis mulligan now,plying his trade in maccie d's?
:ball: :ball: :ball:
Yeah he's a class player who I can't see staying on if we go down. He can be a lazy ba$tard at times though!Quote:

Just a question: seeing as youse aren't full-time, presumably then anyone that signs for you would also have to be able to find work in Cork?
Thats why Bohs and Shels will fight out for the league while us and Pats will fight over the Intertoto spot.
We have 12 full timers now, and as far as i know, all our signings under Dolan have been full timers. We're moving in that direction.....Quote:

I'm thinking here of the likes of Gareth Cronin moving to Rovers cos he changed jobs, or Derek Coughlan getting special dispensation from Bohs to travel up and down from his job at the airport, and wasn't Billy Woods' move to Rovers (and then back again) job-related as well?
they're copying the scandinavian model according to WhoAreYA. Players work flexible hours allowing them to train in the mornings and then go to work.Quote:
