Boyle would be the biggest lost to our side in my opinion.
To quote Kenny Cunningham "at this particular moment in time"
But any loss of any of those players mentioned by Ezekiel would severely hamper our aspirations for the season. It regardless of who we could get to step in an fill the void
I'm sure you could refer to some scouting reports from East Anglia to find a good replacement.
Johnny C to Inter Milan? It seems like all of Europe's top clubs are watching City this season ;)

Apparently Cork City offered Cobh 6 players that are no longer eligible for their u19 team on loan but Martin Cambridge doesn't seem to want them
If that includes Darren Murphy then he is mental.
Sadly he's one of the names I heard. MadnessQuote:

Younger Darren really looks the business, IMHO.
Philly Hughes is in the squad for Bray tonight against MK Dons. Does that mean his transfer has gone through or are Drogheda just letting him play because it's a friendly?
unlike many U19 graduates he looks ready for the jump physically. I'd love to go watch him in Cobh on a regular basis.Quote:

This also has the effect of a clubs own players being denied playing time at a reasonable level therefore stopping their progression. In this instance there is simply no benefit to Cobh in taking players on loan.
City have to send players out on loan in order to progress them & they need to do that at the highest level possible. Cobh being the nearest 1st Div club would suit the bill perfectly. If that fails then perhaps Waterford ?
If City have a B team in the 1st div next season then they will no longer have a problem in getting promising players game time at a reasonable level & the players will have the benefit of playing within their own clubs playing systems instead of having to adapt to some other clubs style of play.
I think that you have convinced me. Valid point. Still wouldn't mind Darren Murphy though!
From today's Indo

With Ciaran Kilduff potentially on his way to Sligo in exchange for Danny North, and St Pat's keen to add Karl Sheppard to their ranks, a path has developed for Kelly to jump from fourth choice to first in Croly's plans. - See more at: http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc....IFr8NquH.dpuf
I'd think Sligo are getting the better end of that deal if true.
Croly never ceases to surprise with spectacular judgement!
Hearing now that Darren Murphy and Anthony McAlavey may be on the way to Cobh on loan from Cork City. Would be two great moves for both clubs. Hope it works out
Ex Cork and Rovers Shane O'Connor played for us today seemed ok what is he like?
Was excited when we signed him.. but was hugely disappointing and glad when he leftQuote:

From what I remember he is/was a left full but wanted to play left wing and was whinging about that. Think he went off on trial in the UK again only a few months after signing for cork and ended up with rovers for a few months. Seems he thought he was better than this league. He has been out of any decent level of football for nearly a year now so maybe it will have brought him back to earth a bit.
Any word on Lenihan off Cork going anywhere yet? I know there was some interest from a few premier league sides.
Don't worry it looks like he'll be around to mark Forrester out of the game for the third time this season. Now if only we had someone to deal with Bermingham we'd be sorted.Quote:

I've only seen Lenihan live a few times but he stands out straight away, brilliant player.
He's really had a great season, though he has slipped a little in recent weeks (that might just be me judging him harshly against a very high standard). He was particuarly outstanding against Pats at the Cross and again at Richmond from what I saw/heard/read, it was just a pity he didn't get enough support on that side and Bermingham got far too much free space.Quote:

Cobh ramblers release seven players. James Carson, Damian O'Rourke, Mikey O'Shea, Dave Walsh, Adam Thompson, Jonathan Spillane and Andrew Bhandarkar. None were in the squad for the last month or two
Steven McCarthy, ex-Sunderland, is supposed to be playing for us in the friendly against Cobh tonight.
