Daniel McDonnell reporting that Barry Conlon wants to play in League of Ireland. Would love to see him at Monaghan but I reckon he's out of our league. Would be a good signing for a Premier club though.

And Garto has joined the Mons exodus after Hughes, Clancy, Donnelly and O'Connor.

Isnt he from Sligo County somewhere, very near to Roscommon?Quote:

Think he's from Monaghan. He was talking to Dundalk last year but wanted too much money apparently. Don't see clubs queueing up for him, his off the field attitude doesn't seem to be very good, don't know what his on field performances have been like but he hasn't been kept too long anywhere.
Nearly certain he went to school in Boyle but was either from Sligo county or from Roscommon, could be way off the mark there though.Quote:

I believe Michael Coburn has gone to the United States for six months.Quote:

He's from Carrickmacross (south Monaghan) and played for Monaghan minors before heading for Man City. Was actually on Dundalk's books before he left. Think you're being harsh on him-he has scored over 100 league goals in 400 matches. Yes, he has moved clubs a lot but that's the way the lower leagues work in England. Clubs can only risk short-term contracts and players make their money from signing on fees. He's clubless as of now but I think he might baulk at current LOI wages.
You're thinking of Barry Cogan from South County Sligo who played for Millwall in the FA Cup final V Manchester Utd. around 2005/6(?)Quote:

Maybe exodus overstates it but such player turnovers are the norm in any case- apart from last season when we kept the core of the squad. Barrett and Fabio could be good signings and hopefully there will be a few more before the start of the season.
Off-topic sorry, but question for the Monaghan lads. How has Shane Grimes been getting on with you's?
You're confusing him with Barry Cogan - currently with Dover Athletic.Quote:

Harps have 3 Ulster Senior League players in on trial for pre-season and are rumoured to be speaking to 2 well known senior players.
Our squad is looking stronger than last season already so here's hoping.
Any rumours of Conor O'Grady going to ye? Hope not.Quote:

tell me what club is darren kelly with now after leavin portadown?Quote:

According to Robbie it's just a publicity stunt, he's really holding out for a move to Wexford Youths (provided Mick Wallace signs over all his assets to him)Quote:

There has to be alot of backers with some of those clubs, I've heard of the likes of Glenavon paying up to a grand a week in part-time wages. I'm surprised not more LOI players are heading up there as the money is as good and there are still day jobs available in NI unlike hereQuote:
