Nzuzi gone, anyone heard that?
I'd be shocked by that one to be fair.Quote:

The only way Nzuzi will be gone is if he gets an offer from the UK. I would expect the club to offer him a contract. He really grew into an important player for us.
I've been told by a player today that things are moving along now he expects there to be more re-signings announced very soon.
It seems Stuart is gone back to Scotland for a break and things will move on when he gets back sometime next week.
Lots are "gone" back to England and so on as the season is over. So unless the club announce it we really don't know who's coming or staying
We turned down Elding who has now signed for Cork. Can not understand that decision at all.
He'd never give you enough work rate in the system Taylor likes to play. And he seems very stuck with that system, so Curran suits that one up top perfectly. Lets just pray he doesn't get injured...ever.Quote:

Still, would have been nice to see him and Curran up front in a 2. Potential for a lot of goals.
I don't see the big deal with Curran good player and hard worker but doesnt score anywhere near enough wastes a lot of chances. If we play only one striker I'd rather Gaffney.Quote:

This is why if we are gonna play with one id rather it be Gaffney out of our current options. Tbh id rather we just changed the system it didnt work with the players we have and i think it is a poor system overall not offering enough support to the front men.Quote:

Horgan looks likely to sign for an English club. Marty Waters would be a fine signing but can see him signing for a Dublin club.Quote:

It all points to the system anyway in my opinion. Unless we bring in the players to play that way, it will need to be changed.
I just hope we are working on a few players anyway things have gone very quiet about it. If we just wait and see whats left in a few weeks then i cant see us improving much on last season at all. Already missed out on 2 players that would have been great signings for us.
I presume you mean Elding and Lee Lynch? Saw he signed for St Pats earlier.Quote:

Anyone else finding it a bit depressing seeing other teams making signings and us so quiet?
Can't wait to see a few signings being made to bring a bit of buzz back about next season.
We're usually slow movers anyway.
Priorities to sign up from last year have to be O'Leary, Tracy, Ryan, Gaffney € Oji.
We'll need a good few players in to replace what we lost.
Ya i mean Elding and Lynch we had chances to sign both.Quote:
