I presume Lims have offered him an improved contract otherwise he might walk ?

Things must be tight :o

You should probably take some of that steel and use it to shore up the club, given the way they have of folding like wet cardboard every few years down there.

Only have to offer the same or improved as his previous contract to stop a player being allowed to just walk. If no one is willing to pay compensation I think his only other option than us is junior soccer.

Seani Maguire and Aaron McCarey are 2 I can think of off the top of my head, has there been many more?

David Elebert (ex Shamrock Rovers), Francis McCaffery (ex Dundalk), Shane OConnor (Porterdown) and Lee Toland (ex finn harps) all on trial with Derry. Any Rovers, Harps or Dundalk fans got views on these guys?

Toland?! Hah! That's funny...he wasn't good enough for Harps. Never made the grade at all. One of those players I wasn't in the slightest bit disappointed to see let go by Horgan.

McCaffrey came in during the summer to us but made very little impression really. He was never going to shift Towell and O'Donnell but when he did play he didn't really do much. I'd be a bit concerned if that is type of players that Derry are looking at.

Liam Kearney signed back with Cork City.

Josh O'Hanlon's move to Bournemouth now complete. Seems we got around �50k for him which is a nice little bonus.

It's been said on our own forum that Conor Winn signed for Harps last night, however true it is.

Toland done nothing at Harps last year, was abit part player. He is young, left footed was at Newcastle as a youngster (as he kept telling everybody) Maybe in the future he will do a job but based on last year he wasnt that impressive. Surprised he is training with Derry to be honest (even if he is a mucker) , maybe Hutton really doesnt know that much after all. Heard he was training with the reserves or ulster senior league team. Probably end up begging Harps to take him back in few weeks time unless he gets few quid extra from some junior team more than most senior teams can afford to pay.

Leon McSweeney won't be joining Derry anyway, he's gone to Northampton til the end of the English season.

Keith Ward expected to re-sign for Dundalk today.

Making it just the 8 MF's to pick from for 2014.

Centre mid/right side AFAIK. I haven't seen him play, but apparently he has been playing below his level.

David Elebert is a very good player, but a tad injury prone, Clever Trevor never gave him enough of a run in the team last year, but I thought he was decent.

If yous sign him and can keep him fit, he'll be a good signing.

Played a few games as a CM but 95% as a Striker. Without doubt the best Amateur player in the country the last few years. If he gets in the team which I reckon he might he'll score goals.

We have a good bit of fire power up front. My hope would be that he is signing as a right winger and back-up midfielder / back-up striker.

He looked like Rovers worst player any time I saw him play.

Which is saying something

I think 8 MF's is a little excessive for LOI terms, mind you if this means the likes of Meenan, Mountney, Ward and possibly Shields or Higgins do not get a start, it obviously means we have vastly improved in this area if we start with Horgan, O'Donneel, Towell & Higgins or Shields.

Second half in the key game v Pats last season demonstrated the weak area Dundalk had, and our MF was shown up.

Ye think. He was poor anytime I seen him for Shamrock. A TV game he was so bad his own fans were booing him everytime he got the ball. (Shams showing their class)

Never heard Elebert being booed by Rovers fans, sorry.

Very clever my friend. I suppose you have never involved yourself in any discussion about maybe who's the best player in the world messi or Ronaldo. Yes that's right your haven't seen every player in the world so you couldn't claim to have an opinion.

It's a fair enough comment.
Avondale have been by far the best Intermediate team in the country over the last few years and he's been their stand out player.
