Honestly i don't think we'll be in a relegation battle, if we are in a relegation battle by the summer then connor wil be gone. No way he can bring in the players he has and be in a relegation battle. Maybe Drogs as they are assemblng a squad at short notice, but i think we will be looking for a mid-table finish.
we won't be in a relegaion battle no chance in hell
I think the league will be a lot tighter and anyone outside top 5 will be in the ****.Quote:

No way Sean Connor will handle him.Quote:

Sure Mental Mickey will sort him out if he starts with any rubbish.Quote:

He's spent so long having people fawning over him, most of them in and around Cork that he believes his own press now. The first time Connor has to chastise him will be interesting.
I have to add, given the things Dundalk fans have written about CCFC offering obscene money to players, it's funny that you've ended up with a player Paul Doolin didn't even consider because of the budget he's working under.
To quote countless number of Cork lads on here, I don't believe your manager he's a spoofer blah blah blah.Quote:

I think both Dundalk and Cork are overspending, so we`ll just have to see how it goes.
O'Donnell v O'Callaghan
Hard one to call who is the better player, O'Donnell appears to be more of a settled individual in terms of how he can be managed, but O'Callaghan is vastly more experienced
I think you`ll find all the bickering is down to fans annyoyed at 'losing out' to players
As always they will go where the money is.............................
That's because Doolin chose to spend the money on O'Donnell instead..Quote:

It was never a decision of O'Donnell -v- O'Callaghan [in my opinion, before I'm jumped on] if you think you've gotten one over on us here, believe away. Georgie is an incredibly talented footballer, and if he'd had the right people around him, he could have been a great one, but he's way more hassle than he's worth and he'll probably be disruptive in your dressing room.Quote:

So CCFC could easily have afforded to sign O'Callaghan as well as O'Donnell if Doolin had wanted to? (Genuine question by the way, not sarcasm).Quote:

That's not what I meant, even if we'd failed to land O'Donnell I doubt we'd have gone after O'Callaghan, I genuinely don't think it was ever on the cards. I don't think whatever money was there would have been earmarked to bring Georgie back.Quote:

If Connor can get the best out of him, O'Callaghan could be one of the best players in the league, I'm just not sure how likely that is. One thing for certain, he'll be well up for games against Cork City.Quote:

To be honest i am not envious of your new signing - he blows very hot and cold and drifts out of games. He likes to sulk and never lasts long at a club with some agro - not a great man for club loyalty and knuckling down when the going is tough.
No doubt about it, Dundalk have assembled an impressive squad.
But Connor will have his work cut out managing some of them.
Turner, Collins, Rogers and O'Callaghan, good luck !
By jesus there's gonna be some craic at Dundalk games this year with those 4:D
yeah i cant believe they all ended up at one club :DQuote:

Don't know what to make of that since we let Darragh Ryan go, a far better player than him, who incidentally signed for St.Pat's today.
Who is that one other person we are getting then ?Quote:

and considering we have lordan and pat sullivan who can slot in to various positions you would have though left sided cover would have been a priority
also signed by SPA todayQuote:

They've done well there, two players we shouldn't have passed on.Quote:
