Dan Murray is a donkey
Maybe so, he did organise and lead the Cork team well the night they whiped us at home this season.Quote:

That's if he's not looking for mad wages
Speaking of centre halves, thought the Waterford captain the night of the Cup semi final was v good. Good in the air and well able to pass it. Young lad too.
Well, you're right about half of that anyway.Quote:

And his second name if you look at the two previous postsQuote:

Rock solid in defence, scores, fantastic leader and an incredible football brain. Also one of the more footballing centre backs i've seen in the LOI. His passing long range and short range is excellent.
Always hilarious to see other fans judge him on how he looks i.e. ridiculously awkward. If ye are ever lucky enough to see him week in week out then it'l be less than 3 months before ye're all raving about him, and he's ye're captain.
The one player that I'll be really gutted to see go.
Have to agree with the Cork fans on this 1, think Murray is a class act. I dont remember too many bad games hes played against us and seems to be a great on the pitch influence something which we sorely missed in the Cup Final without O Grady. He would be ideal beside Peers and think they would compliment each other very well. Definitely better than the Keane/Camano, Keane/Ventre combos we played a lot of last season with. As someone already said if he ended up signing that its to play with Peers not replace him. Cant imagine he would uproot to here for cheap tho??
Why not? At least he'd get his wages and he wouldn't be running around Sligo the day of an away match gathering money to pay for The Dooley Express.
I assume this post is a wind up/**** stir. Otherwise, why would you wish to publicly display your lack of knowledge of Irish football?.Quote:

Its exactly this type of player we should be targeting(as well as trying to hold on to our own stars)who we need if we are going to kick on and become a top 3 team next year. Mcglynn from Derry another player who would help us to do this. Just out of interest any centre-haleves in this league who would be genuinely available that you would think would be a better addition??
how dare you!:mad:Quote:

Im a fan of his and no doubt he always gives 100% but the guy always makes 1 or 2 big errors in a game that always give the other team either a big chance or a goal. I think hes a decent full-back but if we want to be challenging for honours next year we would need to have a squad where Keano would be a decent squad player but nothing more than that coz he jus makes too amny errors.
Ill give ya Foran but i think i read somewhere today that he got a trial across the water with someone??Garry Breen absolutely no chance and im pretty sure Ger O Brien is a right-back(at least when ive seen him??) and not a great 1 at that.
Peers linked with Fingal on another thread.
And a guy who couldn't get a game with Longford would be a great signing because...............

Id like to see Gary come back.Quote:

Rather than traveling to games with only one sub on the bench.
Colm Jinks and Michael Funston are another two that spring to mind.

ye are welcome to jinks I didnt think he played well with us. I am surprised Jason McCartney isnt mentioned.. He was one of my favourite players from last season he has a fantastic engine..Quote:

is torpey still playing with rovers?Quote:

They shouldn't be making your team if you're looking to improve on last year.Quote:

Are you for real? Dan Murray has been playing top of the premier division / europe for a good few seasons and has pretty much always played well against us everytime we've played them.Quote:

you have failed so.Quote:

Murray is a rock-solid centre-half, and exactly the kind of physical presence we've been sorely lacking in that position for a long time.
Cook in talks with Boco.
If Boco were to sign and our only significant loss was raf i believe we would have a stronger side than last year. Turner is a massive signing and hopefully an out and out striker like amond will do a job for us.
Don't know if I'm the only one here, but I'm gutted Morrison is gone. On his day, was the best player in the team and one of the best in the league.
What a waste of talent.
totally agree, but if he didnt have attitude problems or cant be professional or whatever is wrong with him, he'd still be in england! top player, sad to see him goQuote:
