Glad to see the back of Quigley at the Hoops if he is one of the two with Russell

At 25 its pretty much now or never for Ronan I would have thought

I don't think that's the case. He's been on trials at Championship/Premier League clubs before but hasn't been picked up, I believe because he's physically a bit slight by nature.

I wouldn't get too carried away about this big announcement if what I am hearing is true. Hope I am wrong.

Gartland was not bothered last season with Shels at all.

Lack of pace would not be an insurmountable problem for an experienced centre back in a team that defended quite deep, but a lack of interest and willingness to do the basics, coupled with a blame everyone else attitude is more of an issue

Well Russell is one of them supposedly and if that's true I'll be very happy

Richard Brush is one of the two anyway

OK, I was wrong - Brush and Russell confirmed. Brush will be useful as backup for Rogers. Russell potentially an excellent signing.

Town have signed Conor O'Brien, formerly of Bohs. Son of Liam O'Brien. Not sure if he's been with anyone since apparently leaving them in July.

Thankfully I was very very wrong. Extremely happy with that. John Russell is a brilliant signing. If djilali signs as is expected and a decent
striker is brought in, we should be a lot stronger than last year.

Extratime.ie appear to agree with you:

The Hoops are also in the unusual position in the Airtricity League with Eamon Zayed, Richie Ryan, Ronan Finn, Sean O'Connor, Jason McGuinness, Gary McCabe and Ciaran Kilduff all under contract for the 2014 season. More signings are expected soon.

while yesterdays Indo implies that he may not be staying

Quote:

Richie Ryan's commitment to Rovers, though, is less clear. The talented midfielder will decide this week whether he wants to stay with the club or emigrate to Canada, where friends of his reside.
Should he go, it would represent the second major setback of the week for manager Trevor Croly, who lost out on his chief transfer target, Daryl Horgan.

That is quite unusual - I can't think of another team in the league that has those seven players signed.

I'm not sure why I don't know what type of player he is as I read back and he started most games for Pats last season,but I don't seem to know much about him. Is he a defensive midfielder?

Attacking midfielder, played just behind the striker for us. A lovely player to watch.

I'm surprised a Dundalk fan wouldn't know about Russell as in the crucial game in the run-in he played the opening 20 minutes like he'd been specifically detailed to nobble Towell. Having said that, the reason it stood out for me was because it was so unusual - he normally played lovely football, for us and for Pats. I'm very pleased to see him back.

Russell is very good signing for Sligo, one of the most skillful players in the league. Athlone could be getting a good player in Chris Lyons, didn't do much at Bohs, but he looks a decent player to me.

Trainee

Daryl Horgan has agreed to join Dundalk from Cork City, but compensation between the clubs has yet to be agreed. Rumor is Dundalk will pay Cork 20k in Compo
