Nathan Boyle signs back at Harps for the new season.
Between the stripes are saying we're signing Daniel O'Reilly and Sam Verdon from Longford aswell.
Pat's have signed George Poynton for next year. Good signing IMO. Was very impressive during his loan to Bohs
Georgie was very impressive in the first half of his loan season with us. Combination of drop in form and rumoured falling out with manager led to him being benched for many end of season games. Terrific potential but doesn't always deliver on a consistent basis. Good signing for Pats.Quote:

Happy enough with the Poynton signing, think he'll fit in well. We seem to have the bulk of the first team squad tied down with about 15 or so signed up, it's quite solid but there's a real lack of goals there. Hopefully our final few signings are at least players you can rely on to chip in with a few over the course of a season at least, considering high-scoring hat stands are hard to come by in this league.
Surely between Achille Campion, Gary Shaw and Poynton ye've enough firepower up front? Campion scored a few in the short amount of games left of the season.Quote:

I just mean in the sense that we've lost the likes of Conan Byrne and Ryan Brennan (by the looks of things), who are two players you can usually rely on to chip in with at least close to double figures each season. We've not really replaced that yet and struggled enough for goals last season as it was.
Still early days mind, just noting that it's the one area of the squad that needs addressing as it stands.
Funny, I'd have said Verdon never really stood out at Longford either, but if he is signing all we can do is see how he handles the step up. Often you'd see a player dropping to First Division to find their feet. Hopefully this is the case again. Surprised to see him move to Harps though, being based in Dublin.Quote:

Absolutely blaggarded during his time here I wish him all the best.
He's no Bastien Hery but then there's very few players as good as Bastien Hery in the league.
Sign Paul O'Conor now and you'll have the all conquering mid table Limerick midfield of a couple of years ago.
As outspoken says he did well for us as a front player. Wouldn’t be sure he’ll make the step up but good luck to him anyway.Quote:

That brings our total to 6 players.
GK-
DF-
MF- Hery, Lunney, Elbouzedi, Duggan, Galvin
ST - Akinade
Duggan is a much better player than Coleman that went to Pats from what both showed in their time here.
Thats interesting. Coleman stood out in the games against us but obviously what you see as an away fan is limited.Quote:

Slow in both pace and releasing the ball but he has a cracking shot from range and scored a couple of crackers from outside the box for us. Could be a very good First division player but I'd be surprised if he'd be ready to step back up to the PD alreadyQuote:

Don't think barker is that good tbh. Must mean Lyons is off to Wolves though.
Mandroiu and Finnerty seem promising though.
No news on Buckley or Devanney still, both of whom I'd like to keep. Also wish we could get a few of these on two year deals
Lazy pass back my arse, watch it again, Griffin tried to be clever and got caught.Quote:

Sadlier on the other hand had an excellent game off the back of an excellent season, scoring 26 and 14 assists and in the team of the season.
Like Johnny Ward would know lol, the man is clueless, an absolute joke who knows very little about football.

Saying that though yous obviously aren't signing him with the view to starting him week in week out, and he's perfectly serviceable as a squad player as he can fill a few positions if required so it's a handy signing in that respect.Quote:

They're gonna walk that league at this rate, which is a real shame.
