I wish that we had an AGM to let fans know what opinion they should have about these things. It's very confusing
Wow, that must be 6 or 7 top three left full's in the league ;) we are truely blessed to live through such a tsunami of wonderous left backs !Quote:

I can't recall Massey ever being linked with Rovers. Usually it's Gannon whose agent is getting onto journalists to spread rumours.
I think post #2042 may have started this one ;)Quote:

Gannon's been linked with Rovers every time his contract was up, long before Bradley was in charge.

anyway what is so memorable about that. Kennys the one that looks like an idiot from all that.
I agree 10 months laterQuote:

Kenny looks an awful idiot
Well trying to play mind games by bringing up your own players wages isn't the smartest thing to do in my opinion. Never mind saying another club threw a kitchen sink at him but ended up staying, probably for his love of dundalk.
Sure that was all a bit of friendly sparring, just like the way we sign players we dont need ;p
Maybe Bradley is not the first Rovers manager who struggles to recognise talented players. Which Hoops genius released him prior to the 2013 season?Quote:

Croly (after being largely overlooked by Kenny in favour of Kerrea Gilbert), and you'd have found very few Hoops fans who agreed with it.Quote:

Town starting their business early by signing up Aaron Dobbs from Shamrock Rovers. Good young player from the little I’ve seen of him, he wasn’t getting much in the way of service at Wexford when he was on loan but he always looked to have something about him. I know he did very well for Rovers at underage level.
delighted with that signing of Aaron Dobbs.. now if we can get Dean Dillon back this time for permanent it will make my day.
Ali Regba going for a 3-week trial with Middlesbrough, but also being chased by Leeda united and Shams according to the irish Sun.
Wow, seems like only last week Shams didn’t know his name 😳Quote:

Would be surprised if that happened we have plenty of midfielders already
Can't see that. We only go back and re-sign former players when they're top class. Like Killian Brennan.
Dundalk confirm Sava has left,hear he's either for Shelbourne or Bray.
Aaron McCarey inbound to take his job at Dundalk
https://twitter.com/DundalkFC/status...40251021762561
Sava going from understudy to Rogers to being understudy to Delany? Bray would be more realistic.
Conor Kenna to Bohs apparently.Good signing if true.
