Keith Gilroy maybe that's if he becomes available from Burton Alb.

First division players that have looked the part and an option would be

Alan Carey & Kieran O'Reilly from Cobh
Sheppard at Kilkenny

Lets see, would Love to have Farren, Mc Hugh, Jason Byrne AND Flynnie :p , but they'd probably stop scoring the minute they crossed the line at the great Flansiro.

Barry Ryan for nets.

Hey Boahs - wanna swap Hunt for Keego ??

And I doubt that he would be heading if he stuck around with a part-time club like Longford.

Avery is a class act.

Avery John or John Avery cant keep up was a class act, also a liar and a con and thus not very reliable.

Would like to bring back Stuart Byrne, Would like to sign McHugh, Farren, George O' C (none of which will happen but a girl can dream cant she)

ger mccarthy is da only player that has impressed me with an other 1st div club. i wud have tim mccann(or kaps but he's gone) b4 alan carey & if mctiernan can keep improvin(& scoring) i'd have him before o'reilly easily.

Wes Houlihan. I would be happy enough with him.:D :D :D

Glen Crowe is going nowhere, Glen Fitz is a top top striker, and why would Gary O'Neill leave for UCD???

In answer to the thread I would like to see Shels sign ABSOLUTELY NOBODY!!!

I would also like $hels to sign nobody because then they can finish 3rd next season where a small club like them belong.

Peter Thompson would be a nice addition from Linfield but hes set for England.

Hard luck, he's just signed a new two-year deal. Plus Barry Ryan's contract with us isn't up until the end of next season.

I'd like to sign Serbian international striker Red Star Belgrade's Nikola Zigic who is 6 foot 7 inches tall. You will all get to see him at the World Cup playing alongside Kezman. The strike force of the World Cup if they hit form.

I'd also like to be that tall myself and twenty years younger. On the point of realistic signings. I think UCD actually need three centre-backs, a left winger, a tall goalscoring striker and if we lose Quigley a quality goalkeeper.

For an education of course, something to fall back on when his knees are knackered and he can't play football anymore!

Fergal Harkin from Bohs - but that isn't likely
James Gallagher - recall from his loan
Kevin Ramsey - would be a nice addition, although mightn't be on the cheap side.

If we're relegated then as long as the young first teamers are kept on (Gethins, Kev, Breen, Funston, Wizzy and Cullen) and the bunch of talent coming out from the U21 side are played (Crossan, Cowan, Devenny, Seydak) I'll be more than happy as we'd more than likely tear the First Division in shreds with that talent.

However if we stay up (extremely unlikely) - then a tall striker is essential as is a central defender as is a central midfielder. I'd take Jamie Harris on loan from Shels - would be ideal as he's a good CB and tall enough for set-pieces.

I'd keep Cullen, Mc Hugh, Funston, Mc Gowan and Breen. The rest - cheerio!!

Would keep Gorman too in some sort of a managerial capacity, but I'd imagine the playing days are over.

Our under 21 team play Shels in the semi final this evening and there's plenty of talent there, although not in the key position for us - centre back! Darragh Mc Gee plays there at the mo. but he done well at right back on his first team debut last night. Think that's his preferred position.

Big Scolty is flying in and out of Liverpool and the mo, and would say this season may finish him.

I just hope we can hold on to the good players and root out the deadwood

Ndo .... he aint getting his game at Shels and we could do with a player of his height and skill. He would slot in perfectly imo.

We need someone up front aswell .... McHugh would be great but could see it happening. I dunno .... but thats where we need players anyway.

Dont forget lads ye are getting Rossiter back at the end of the season i know how much ye love him:)

Here.:D

Hopefully Stephen Grant will sign for Cork City and i would like to see us making a big effort to sign a genuine top goalscorer in the league...Jason Byrne would be perfect..i would be surprised though but you never know if we can get into the Champions League..

In terms of 'new' signings, Fitzpatrick, Stephen Grant and Shane Robinson.

However the very first signatures I want for next season are Murphy, Rutherford, McGuinness and Molloy.:)

Darren Kelly.

jason byrne back at bray with him and zayed we would be unstopable:D

We desparately need midfielders. Grand for keepers and efence, OK up front if Armstrong, Larsson and Doyle keep fit (need one more IMO) but midfield is a shambles. Would love to signa tough tackling hard man, someone like Reynolds 9though obviously not Reynolds..). We need someone for right of midfield too, maybe Kirby?

A left back, any left back. Other than that our starting 11 now hasn't really got any weaknesses and is really clicking. Get someone new in and you'd have him, Hawkins, Rogers/Harris, Heary, Hoolahan, Reynolds/Byrne, Ndo, Ryan, Byrne, O'Neill/Crowe with one of the two in goal.

Get rid of a few squad members as there's no need having so many of them.

a right midfielder, any one. we'll give you billy woods for free as a sweetner.

I know it would never happen but I'd love Ndo, best non Derry City player I've seen this season.

:confused: I disagree with half that. We don't need centre halves, we just need Kenna and McNally fit. I'd argue we need a left back, but otherwise we've got a decent first string back line.

Yeah, a left winger would be good, but I don't see us signing anyone there. If we get a left back, Micko's a decent option there, though I wouldn't like to see him and Hurley both on the wings - very little pace or dribbling between them. Podge McWalter will probably continue to be the first choice there, unless Doyle comes through.

We do need a striker, but I think Gallagher deserves a chance if Quigley is left out. He's kept more clean sheets than not in his UCD career.

Ya i know that Terry.;)

Eamon Zayed would be top of my list anyway.

John 83

We need Kenna and McNally fit plus at least two other decent centre-backs when they aren't. This season's experience proves it.

Fergal Harkin

local former captain returns......dream come true
