A good few of those lads will end back in the LOI I would suspect. Behan did well in his time at Cork. Dave Mooney was also a fine player in the LOI.

I'd be surprised if Mooney still couldn't make it at League One. Definitely got the ability imo.
Scored 13 goals on loan there for Colchester last season, I'd like to see him given a chance with one of the promoted teamsQuote:

Jay O'Shea (Birmingham)
Sam Sheridan (Bolton)
Dean Kiely (WBA)
Nothing too surprising there I guess. Dean Kiely is 40 years of age, so I think he might be retiring. Jay O'Shea never really got a look in for Birmingham. I know nothing about Samuel Sheridan.
Jesus. Whole host of decent players there.Quote:

Are Man City willing to pay part of his wages? I think he's on eighty grand a week, I can't see West Brom being able to pay a goalkeeper that kind of money.Quote:

seems a bit harsh on the lad....
Yeah he was in great form until he got injured. Hope that streak will keep him in the Prem, maybe with a Norwich or Swansea.
West Brom are interested in signing Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given, who would cost around £3.5m.

No way Given commands any sort of transfer fee. Man City will be very lucky if anyone takes them off their hands for free.Quote:

Shay Given's wages are too high for him to command much of a transfer fee.
For example, Messi would have next to no transfer value if he was on wages of a million pounds a week.
Given is a great player who is on very good money, too good in fact. You can't blame him for sticking it ou on the bench at Man City when he's making so much money.
Robbie Keane is in the same boat.
There are plenty of former League of Ireland players playing in England currently. In fact, quite a few of them feature in the international team. In fact, Seamus Coleman attracted more attention than anyone would have previously imagined in last season's Premiership.Quote:

Stephen Gleeson interesting Peterborough.

Stoke boss Tony Pulis has dismissed rumours linking midfielder Glenn Whelan with a move away from the Britannia Stadium, after Fulham were reported to be interested in signing the Irishman.
Full story: Goal.com
Playing 9 games in an entire season because of injury is hardly going to endear him to clubs. He seemed to roll from one injury to another.Quote:

Has he declared for us?Quote:

Ah balls. Pilks is a huge player for Town, I really hope he'll stay and get us promoted (finally) next season.Quote:

David Forde linked with Aston Villa and Newcastle.
http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news...cle749539.html
I've no doubt he is on the radar of Premier LEague clubs but surely not on the basis of a game where he only had to make one save in injury time.
True, but also not on the basis of coming in as first choice keeper maybe. But you never know.Quote:

Clean sheet anyone? This isn't hockey.
Nothing like a shut out on a road game. Nothing like it.Quote:

I like the look of Forde. Solid, unfussed and a mammoth kick out. He has a presence, an inner confidence that calms his defenders. OK, I've only seen him play about 100 minutes, but that's what I noted in him!
Especially when you have a complete roster.Quote:
