Letting players walk out the door and then taking them back again after talking gibberish about others can make a club look foolish. I hope no English clubs find out about this
I probably should be more worried than I am really, in the short term yeah this squad investment is very worrying but when I'll really start to worry is when Dundalk invest in their stadium,training ground and academy too. I'm not saying just investing in those, obviously the team needs investment too but it's no coincidence that the clubs that have split their investments between structure and squad during their periods of success (Man United, Rosenborg, what city are doing now) have fared far better in terms of prolonged success than those that have just invested in their squads.Quote:

Aaron Greene is a fine man and a fine signing and any posts of mine that intimate in any way that he's a waste of space were clearly hacked.Quote:

Your claimed confusion and empathy for the emotional contentment of being a Dundalk fan are truly touching
Dundalk gave Oldham money, Rovers wouldn't be giving Bray any so I've no idea what you're ****eing on about here Ez apples and oranges. Not sure how I'd feel about signing Greene though, prefer the look of Coughlan and Galvin from what I've seen this season in fairness.Quote:

Oh sorry I forgot you've access to the Rovers books so know they pay all their players a huge signing on fee...:rolleyes:Quote:

Is this a new rule? First time I've noticed it.
From https://www.derrycityfc.net/2018/07/...-banish-blues/
"Kenny’s son Dean was expected to be in the squad for the visit of the Shannonsiders, however the club confirmed this morning that the FAI have notified them that Shiels junior will be suspended for the game having only served one of two games handed to him in Scotland last season."
Strange one.
You do realise in the context of what Bradley was saying signing on fees, which are normally tiny compared to transfer fees by the way, are completely different to transfer fees.Quote:

There must be something wrong here as Kenny Shield speaks calmly about his disappointment on missing out on McEleney and Kellly
The YDC is decent by LOI standards in fairness but thats mostly because most other places are so bad. The indoor pitches in the YDC are grand for stuff like pre season running and some small sided games but in terms of team training its too small really, the gym is nice too but compare it the UCD's and it could be a lot better and that's all Dundalk have really other than oriel's pitch and the grass one beside it, it's grand but it's not going to have a player from abroad looking at it and going yeah this clubs going places where do I sign.Quote:

Players like Chevdukas,Adorjan, & Tagbajumi? Duffy,Jarvis & McEleney etc :D you mean :pQuote:

The YDC gym is basic enough but the club was sponsored by a gym that is fully equiped so no need to expand that within Oriel Park currently. There was catering able to be done there but I dont think meal are done inhouse though the players do have lunch I presume in what was the former bar. Like everything else at the club currently its a work in progress but certainly more than the indoor training pitches and an average gym. Lots of scope for adding to!Quote:

Agree on Tagbajumi, total waste of a wage, only good news is he was signed on a one year deal. Not even sure anyone would take him on loan. He looked like he had potential, early away game v Rovers, that was about it really.
I remember that match I thought he looked a handful that night. Is he one of these guys who just decided he didn't want to be here or is he just bad
Dont worry Mr A most of us got it.Quote:

I can't see how he can even play a minor part for the rest of the season.Quote:
