Also bear in mind we have offloaded the following from 2013:Quote:

Stephen Mc'Donnell (as above)
Aarran Shanahan (lower wages - NI)
In saying that, there is no doubt with what has come in, is costing more, but its much better quality.
What lunatic put Vinny Faherty on high-end wages?
Based on a half season of under performance with Pats after 18 months in Australia? ha haQuote:

Add in Francis McCaffrey and Jordan Keegan who probably would be lower to mid end wages.Quote:

We did off-load a fair amount but can't argue with any of the players that Kenny did let go. Some did a decent job, mainly John Sullivan and Mulvenna, but ultimately have been replaced by better players.
We were struggling to sign an established centre forward. No one really expected Hoban to become one of the best strikers in the LOI so quickly.Quote:

I agree Faherty was a bit of a panic signing. I don't know if was one our best paid players though.
I would probably 're-classify' Faherty on mid to high wages, but I do recall hearing he had options elsewhere, and he would have joined expecting to be a first choice forward. I can't even remember how many games he started in the league, def less than 5. Not a good move.

Ok, I'll ask it another way - anyone hear Elding wants out?Quote:

LTFC's Josh O'Hanlon is signing for a Championship club in England in the next few days. Burnley, Bournemouth and Reading all in for him apparently, two bids accepted it seems. Good luck to the lad.
Rumour he isn't happy there alright.Quote:

Stewart Greacen talks about his time in Ireland in a brief article:

Interesting to note his opinions on the technicality of Irish football.
Hang on, how can a player (Elding) not be happy at a club before he has even played a single game for them?Quote:
