Came on for second half of last night's friendly with Athlone (FT 1-0). Looked good, very lively. Played up front with Paddy Madden. not sure if we need another striker as we have Jayo, Raff, Quigley and Madden already there, haven't heard any of them leaving. Maybe Greene pulls a good pint !

Good luck with this, in my view he is well past PD standard, caught out for pace on too many occasions last year including at
least 2 home games which resulted in a defeat by one goal. Had some decent games, can organise things well, but FD standard at the very best.

We can't pick and choose who we want to sign, the budget is tight, and any decent experienced player going is needed in what will be a young squad I'd imagine

Harps hope to have secured the signings of Kevin McHugh (Linfield) and Johnny Minnock (Kildrum Tigers) by Tuesday, according to todays local newspaper. That should be the squad confirmed at that stage.

McHugh would be a huge signing for ye. Statement of intent for the coming season.

great signings for Harps, I though McHugh would have been a certainty for the new Derry franchise

Money is not always a solution.
Kev wants to come back to Harps, he has done for a while now. He says he wants to come back while he is still young enough and not when he is winding down his career.
Kenny and Derry were after Kevin but neither him nor Linfield would deal.

The squad James Gallagher has assembled on the clubs lowest budget in the past decade, is pretty strong and has generated a new feeling of optimism around the club (cautiously awaiting the kick in the nads). I would be happy with a promotion play-off place.
I would prefer to stay in the graveyard until we move into the new stadium in the next 2/3 seasons. Get things sorted off the field first and basically have a fresh start in a new ground.

Baba Issaka (ex Kildare County) played for Wexford Youths against Pat's as did confirmed new signing Dean Richards (Freebooters, Kilkenny) and a number of as yet unnamed signings/triallists.

It looks like Wallace is giving Noel O'Connor some freedom with the squad anyway.

There are any news about "Joxer" Kelly? He's actually such an amazing player. I hope he will find a new club in the PD...

We've offered Mark Doninger(Blyth Spartans midfielder) a contract, he's in Sligo this week with a view to signing.

Anthony Gorman linked with possible Harps return, things looking alot more postive around Finn Park at the moment. http://www.donegaldemocrat.ie/donega...urn.6053194.jp

Not happy with that at all. I wasn't counting on Harps being a threat this season. If I could find the smilies here, I'd have two, maybe three, angry faces!

Further to the Timmy Purcell to Blues rumours, he played the second half for us in Tralee on Saturday.

SC confirmed in today's Galway Independent that Jimmy Brown (Ex Distillery and Glenavon manager) will be joining the club in a scouting role. Similar to the one he had at Dundalk before he took over at Lisburn Distillery.

He also confirmed that Jamie Creaney will be joining the club in a development role.

My god Connor is a disaster...why put Jimmy Browne on the payroll as scout when you have a limited budget!! He did litterally nothing for us before taking the Lisburn job...where he was disgracefully bad and then sacked!!!

That's shocking, I'd be very concerned if I was a Galway fan, only a matter of time before McGinley is signed.

Yep, was captain and top scorer for their reserves last season. Moved to Blyth this year but has been looking for full time football.

Dundalk also full time.....but wages mostly around 400-500 per week AFAIK and with a small enough squad on 1 year deals
