They were over there 2 weeks ago. Zayed (at least) has been offered a couple of deals. He's unlikely to take themQuote:

Sligo are understood to be close to signing former Derry City winger Owen Morrison and Finn Harps striker Stephen Parkhouse.
Morrison has been round the block - he seems to leave clubs soon after joining with contracts being cancelled.
Raf will no way go to Pats. Be very surprsied.
Morrison is a decent player all the same...
Owen Morrison would be a very good sgning in my opinion. Him and Raff out the wings would be great and we still have other wingers as it is incase one gets injured (Doherty,Cash etc...) Only problem is Morrison has a bit of an attitude problem. I dn't see Raff signing for Pat's, He'll be vital to us in Europe and the setanta cup.
If Pats trim their squad they still have a sugar daddy who whilst will not waste at the level that has been in the past will still back them and could offer a decent package to Raf!!
Although hopefully that fact that we will be in the same competitions and we are his home team will win the day!!!

Have you been away. It has been announced for days now that Raf has signed for next season.
Deadly
Ive been away, although heard Raf has signed new deal, was this officially announced?Quote:

Exciting times ahead alright. Any news of any players on the way out?
I was very doubtful of Parkhouse when the rumours started but i'm starting to think Cook can get the best out of him, we really need a tall striker.Quote:

he is gone it was only a loan deal he was on.Quote:

the last i heard he was put straight onto the transfer list.Quote:

This has been known a good while now, but i'd say Birmingham are most likely to sign Seamie if he's sold.Quote:

Anyways, he may not be interested himself.
I dont want Faz back, cost too much and we should move on!
i think McNamara left in the 'no part timers' regime but he was a good servant and solid in defence but the deterioration of pace in his game was obvious but would be a good backup though and probably a less expensive option.
Lads, i hear Glen Fitzpatrick has been let go by St Pats. IMO he's the best big man in the league. As it looks like Cook wants one. I know he'd be better than Parkhouse & still only in his 20's. Has a great first touch is a great header of a ball & holds the ball up as good as anyone in the league. Thoughts?

The judicious placing of a comma in this quote would be most helpful/welcome.Quote:
