The key, of course, is that Derry probably won't pay it!Quote:

Champion also has Alan Keane signing from Galway.Quote:

Drogs squad thus far. Released today, few new ones in there.
Add in Dave O'Connor and Michael Foley too.
Kenna and McNally will be the best CB partnership in the league this season.
Has Kenna signed? Last news report was that he was decidnig between Drogheda and Fungus.
Not a terrible squad. I'd say it should be good enough to finish above Galway and perhaps Bray. Kenna, Joxer and Whelan are good Premier Divison players.Quote:

Free agents and 1 was at the club last year.Quote:

If Whelan plays anything like he did for most of last season with us then he won't add anything to Drogheda, but over all i reckon its a half decent squad he has asembled... I still think we will finish above them though, our squad is taken shape nicely and with a few more pre season games o come we should hit the ground running when the season kicks off.Quote:

DUNDALK manager Sean Connor has exclusively revealed to The Dundalk Democrat that Stephen O'Donnell is set to become the sixth former Bohemians star to arrive at Oriel Park this pre-season.
"We have reached a deal to bring him here so hopefully he will put pen to paper in the next 24 hours."

Just to clarify lads, George O'Callaghan is NOT joining us, Sean Connor said hes basically finished his dealings if and when Stephen O'Donnell joins us, he said hes verbally agreed to join just waiting to sit down with him to sign on the dotted line by the end of the week.

SUpposed to be joining Cork!where is all this money coming from for ye, he wasnted big wages, we said no, Cork can give it to him, really dont understand this!Cork are in a position to offer more money after struggling big time alst year!Quote:

O'Donnell is having a medical with us tomorrow.
Just because Sean Connor claims money is the reason Stephen isn't signing doesn't mean it's true. We'll be tight with money next year, if he signs it won't be for stupid money.Quote:
