Back on topic again. Dont think we'll see Gethins and definitely not Dowdy, if Tony didnt want him this season he's hardly goin to change his mind after all Dowdy has not featured too regularly for de town AFAIK. I cant see us making any big name signings tbh cos Nick is gonna be tight with the budget (and rightly so). I think there is a few names on Tony's list already but he aint gonna tell us!
To be fair I think we need more than back-up for those two up front. We need a goalscorer.Quote:

Glynn and Flynn were the perfect comination and any game they played together one of them usually scored but then Stevo got injured and missed a ****load of games. A fully fit injury free Stephen O'Flynn next season would be like a new signing.
He sure as hell was worth a lot more than the few euros Mr. Leeson offered for him. Anyhow, he signed a new contract with us a couple of months ago so will be going nowhere.Quote:

This came from a very reliable source who i would believe before yourself.
You're obviously talking about Peter Hynes.
I'm seriously worried if we were looking to sign him.
It was when O'Flynn,Mensah & Armstrong were all injured just before the transfer deadline
I agree with Gethins. I was big fan when he was with us but i doubt we will get him Back. One to watch is Ronan O Boyle. On the Under 21 side. From Castlebar. You'll see him coming into the side this year hopefully and theres a few more of them young lads that mite be an addition:)
he only has one game to do that;)Quote:

Slight? So was Tommy Keane, What both of them lacked in bulkiness they made up in speed. I'd have Gethins back in the morning.Quote:

I think you are right about Gethins Gooner , but as for finishing in the top four next season , i would love to see it but a lot will depend on the players TC can bring to the club as the the players we have at the moment would not be good enough IMO ......Quote:

Dont know where you heard those ambitions! It's more like a move to the comfortable midtable positions i'd say
Did we not have a comfortable midtable finish this season?! :p
As for Peter Hynes he was a poor Division 1 striker last season, he was kicked out of Dundalk for going out on the lash and for some bizarre reason Pat Fenlon signed him for Derry. Unless it was like United signing Bobby Byrne when Mad dog was in charge I'll never understand that.
I know we had injury problems but the only thing Peter Hynes had going for him was that he was available.
At the start of the season all TC was talking about was survival. All Pat Scully was talking about was challenging for the title. We have survived, and Rovers were competitive at the top end of the table for most of the season. I want to hear TC talking like Scully next season, the attitude has to be right from the start, none of this mid table sh!tetalk!
