The paranoia is strong.
We will take Afolabi if/when he's ready of course.

You may need him sooner rather than later. Wonder could he do a job in defence for you.Quote:

Not a bad idea. It would be good to have some pace in beside Bradley, McPhail and Cronin.Quote:

There's a blast from the past!
He was on trial with Bohs during pre-season, played in a couple of friendlies.
We've signed goalkeeper Dean Lyness and defender Axel Sjöberg. The goalie is a replacement for Danny Rogers who damaged his wrist in the warmup last weekend.
Keeper has to have a fair chance of starting on Monday !Quote:

Kerry FC is delighted to announce the signing of Cian Barrett from Shamrock Rovers on a loan deal.
Interesting news - thought it was said here that amateur clubs couldn't do loan deals, but presumably that doesn't apply to underage players?
I presume they can't loan any professionals.
I thought the transfer window closed a few weeks ago too
Rovers fans will know more but I assume he’s not on a pro contract there which would maybe explain the possibility of the loan deal
What actually constitutes an amateur club in terms of the senior setup. Im sure Kerry isnt entirely volunteer run eg management/coaching. Do minimum contracts not come in to effect or when must they apply? Id imagine there were issues in the past with parent clubs paying loanee wages and using host clubs like feeder club etc. so hence some restriction on amateur clubs and loans + host club contributing x % of wage. Outside the transfer window could it work if a 'pro' contract was torn up and a player became a free agent and offered say a year long deal, with the hope of a return at season end if the player continued to show potential?Quote:

By the way where did Harlain Mbayo go?
And is Aaron Greene still at Rovers, he didnt play in th LSL game but he hasn't been reported as injured either.
Greene's mother sadly passed away this week, it's possible he's been on personal leave for a whileQuote:

Some joke to be honest, far too early to be doing this, unless Danny wanted out which I doubt.
Waterford do seem really badly run for the money that's behind them
Like, it's not been a great start to the season, but sacking a manager five games in seems daft.
There were definitely a few mistakes. They were quite poor against us and in the 2nd half against Bray with 10 men I couldn't believe how deep they were sitting with over 30 minutes still to play.
In saying that he's been put into a difficult situation - I don't know how much input he'd have had into the loan signings of Barry Baggley and Chris Conn-Clarke from Fleetwood but both started against us and didn't really look like an improvement on Shane Griffin who was on the bench in their place.
I think if we hadn't started with 6 wins from 6 he'd have got more time to turn it around but as we know only too well getting up through the playoffs is very difficult so winning the league has to be the priority.
Definitely very harsh on Searle but then it's hard to have much sympathy when he knew what he was getting into after the similar recent fleeting spells at the club experienced by Morris, Bircham, Sheedy.
I'm sure the queue of candidates for the job and Waterford will believe they will be fifth time lucky
Keith Long makes sense
I suppose he can console himself with a year's salary for two months' work. Take it and run.Quote:

Having gone to plenty of Waterford games under Searle I thought he was quite poor to be honest, ridiculously conservative always getting very defensive whenever ahead. While it is hard to gauge his win/loss ratio as a large favourite in most games, they largely disappointed in games that mattered.
Richard Dunne has made noises about getting into league of Ireland management would this interest him? Also Brian Murphy if interested in management I could easily happening, given Jon Walters involvement nowadays I wonder if it will be someone he played with
Perth seemed to have a bit of interest in the job on the rte podcast, suggesting that local LOI knowledge might be better than someone from Fleetwood.Quote:

Keith Long appointed Waterford manager,decent appointment for both parties I think….
interesting... there goes pats first target if things dont tick in the right direction for clancy soon
Vinny Perth is still available…….Quote:

Of course his own demands might rule him out or he isnt putting himself forward but if he is youd think a club would have given him an opportunity by now, even in IL?Quote:

Anyone that runs a club and listens to Vinny Perth talking football when hes on OTB would probably realize hes a spooferQuote:

He didn't come out well in Gartland's book either.
