Yeah, any players being brought in now need to be the kind we have in mind for a First Division fight.
I'd be very surprised if any player we bring in now is even around for next season.
I reckon we could be looking at a lot of young lads playing in the first division next season. We simply don't have the money to compete at the moment.
Any news at all on any Greek players? I'm assuming that was more bs by the club as usual!!
From what I've seen it was more Pat going in a mission of his own rather than the club as a whole.Quote:

Transfer window closes tomorrow so I imagine we will see a few players in today and/or tomorrow.
What's the point leaving it till last minute (again) just so we can get the players nobody else wanted, pointless if they're not long term signings for First Division!
Shaun Kelly back great news and even better that its an 18 month deal.
OK, so certainly making plans for next season it seems. Various names being thrown around on Twitter, Brian Dennehy being a big one, but apparently that's off now?
Ya talk was this morning that Dennehy was in Limerick everything agreed just needed to be signed. Talk now is its not happening so would love to know what went on there. Would have been a great signing.
Still could happen I'd imagine. Only thing probably stopping it is some other club hijacking it with a much higher offer.Quote:

Patrick Kanyuka signed now too...
Maybe I'm making something out of nothing but is there a reason the new signings are being unveiled in McGettigans? Wonder have McGettigans group something to do with the signings?
Not sure if they do but Limerick have been doing all their business in the Limerick City Hotel for the last year and that's where McGettigans is. They must have some bit of sponsorship cause as you say why have the advertising behind the player.
Is Kanyuka on an 18 month contract too?
Contracted to end of season
Says on website that he has contract until end of season
Cyril Guedjé striker from Pats in on loan.
So in so far:
Ali Abass
Prince Agyemang
Freddie Hall
Patrick Kanyuka
Shaun Kelly
Cyril Guedje
Lee Lynch
Out:
Conor O Donnell
Jason Hughes
Add Lee J to that and it is a completely different team than the one in the 1st half.
Reports are that Cyril is awful....great
Hall Tracey Williams Kanyuka Kelly Turner Duggan Lynch Prince Guedje Clarke
No more excuses from Russell that team is good enough to win plenty of games in this league
Agreed. Good enough to win enough in a third of a season to stay up though is a big ask.
Such a weird time to be adding people to the Squad. Could have done with all this a few weeks ago. Russell giving the usual spiel for Sligo game.
Two of those players will be making their debut tomorrow, if selected, so they could be decent or not, and the goalie only playing his third game, so saying that side should win plenty of games is a bit over the top.Quote:

Well Tracy, Williams, Kelly, Duggan, Lynch and Prince are definitely up to standard to win games in the league. Turner's a bit of a wild card and Hall, Kanyuka and Guedje are unknown quantities. Only Clarke seems outright weak from that team, and I reckon he still has potential, just needs the chance to unlock it. A goal last night and some more confidence won't hurt that at all.
Would you really consider Clarke weak? He is lacking goals and I think a lot of that is down to confidence. Other than that I think he is an excellent player. Hard working, very speedy and quick feet.
I suppose without an end product it's hard to gauge, and it is tough to be a striker in an unsuccessful team. The last two games are a fairer appraisal given the team's success, and he's left his mark.
Apart from fluffing his lines after Russell put him behind the defence, I thought Clarke was great again tonight -tore the full back apart all through the first half, and then tore the replacement apart, eventually getting taken down for the penalty.
