First of many I thought a few weeks ago would sign for Pats from our outgoings. Hopefully we get the Stephen O'Donnell deal done soon.Quote:

We're not exactly in a position to be turning players down. Derek will probably be one of the few experienced players we have this season. That's if we can hang on to him!Quote:

He should really have done that 3/4 weeks ago, he knew he wasnt resigning for Galway. Hope he understands the Glaswegian accent ;)Quote:

Also Derek O Brien would be a grand job in the First Division provided he was pushed imo.
I hope it's us, I saw him cross a ball a few times last year, not too often you see that in Jackman Park.Quote:

Not sure about Sheppard tbh. Is he really a good enough striker for any team hoping to challenge for the league? Cant see him geting 20 goals a season.Quote:

Any of the times I've seen him play he's been fantastic leading the line. The question is whether he'll be able to play alongside Twigg or if he'll just be his deputy.
I think Sheppard is vastly over rated, but McCabe and O'Donnell are class acts.Quote:

we need someone with sufficient nous & skill in the final third to put the ball on a plate for said 20-goal-a-season striker.
if sligo want to challenge for the league, who's their 20 goal a season man?
You know yourself Oriel until they actually sign it's never 100% that they're coming. I'd be tempted to add Paul Keegan and Brian Shelley to the list as well.
Mark Doninger's on his way back.Quote:

Anyone shed any light?
He went on trial for a week but Brian McDermott basically said he was covered for left backs and didn't need another one, i.e. he was no better than what he already had.

Stevo already said he would remain with his home town club!Quote:

But it's an off-season, rumours fly around, figures fly around and opposition fans invariably think they know more about their rivals spending. All part of the game. I'm secure in knowing I'll know the figures come the AGM and can challenge anything should there be an issue.
I doubt it. Rovers didn't really use Danny much put Dan is their captain.Can't see why they'd release him.Quote:

Can only presume it's two Dublin clubs. Personally I dont rate him as high as some others on here.
He was approached by Sligo in the last couple of days so you never know.Quote:
