Pretty sure at the start of the season a UCD fan was saying he looked very good and they would struggle to hold into him. You seem to think if we sign some players from UCD we are screwed but if you actually look around the league they have had some of the top players that have gone on to win leagues and cups.Quote:

I would imagine we will be looking at a blend of experience and youth. Our budget certainly wouldn't be big enough to be filling our team with experience.Quote:

Completely unrealistic to expect us to compete with any of the top 4 we can't financially so we won't on the pitch unless Russell is brilliant.Quote:

As it happens i was checking something out yesterday and noticed this UCD team from 2008 (they were relegated in 2009). Bear in mind Ronan Finn was a member of the UCD this season as wellQuote:

Look at their bench that day FFS. If they could hold onto their players they could win leagues.
I suppose its hard for the small clubs to hold onto their good players when the big clubs come knocking.i have been supporting ipswich town since the 80's and its happened a lot with them too.
I think pineapple stu was saying that the kid more or less did a runner on UCD and turned up playing for Trinity in a colleges game. Never told anyone he'd changed colleges.Quote:

How much has Limerick's budget been reduced by for next year?
On one hand we are hearing Pat has completely pulled his money from the first team squad but on the other we are hearing the club are talking to some very good players and have 7 or 8 of last seasons squad signed back up already so its hard to know if the budget has moved at all at this stage.Quote:

Cillian Morrison and Shaun Patton sign for Derry from Cork and Finn Harps.

I'd see him as a squad player.
Billy Dennehy and Liam Kearney are literally our only wide players. If hes fit and works hard in pre season Right Wing is his for the taking.
Also.. hes 23, its not like hes over the hill
He might not be, but his liver certainly is:pQuote:
