it's nice to see that he is thinking positive so "sligoman" don't you take him into negative territory. we must remain positive at all times & we are allowed to dream as well !

Interesting talk about european football. Whats the story if Cork do fold? Do we get in because Foster doesn't have the appropriate badges? Its good to see the lads enthusiastic anyway.
Well he's hardly going to say ;"This is a load of sh!te, I can't believe I've ended up playing for this lot"Quote:

Delighted if this is true. As long as that injury isn't too bad and clears up by the second series of games I'd be happy enough. He has a bit of quality about him that we lacked in midfield.Quote:

Better than this time last year, even allowing for Boco and Raf's departure imo. At least we have numbers now and a bit more competition for places.
If Almeida and Peers can strike up a good partnership again we should do well enough.
i don't think almeida has signed. correct me if i'm wrong
great news, any idea was it a one or two year contract?Quote:

With the transfer deadline looming, is there any word on anymore trialists being signed or potential signings being done on time ?
Well he was in Milebush at our game today?Quote:

I'm not in the know but heres the players signed so far according to website etc but please correct or add if anyone knows differently
Goalkeeper: Richard Brush
Defenders: Gavin Peers, Alan Keane, Iarlaith Davoren, Paul Whelan, Mauro Almeida, Danny Ventre
Midfielders: Conor O'Grady, Richie Ryan, Gary McCabe, John Dillon, Eoin Doyle, Mark Doninger, Dean Marshall, John Russell (tbc)
Forwards: Mathew Blinkhorn, Padraig Amond
thats 17 players signed and as Cook stated he wanted a squad of twenty he could take another three from trialists etc
seems abit crowded in midfield although Cook might plan to use Doyle more as a striker this season, either way definetly need another striker, defender and presume Ciaran Kelly will take the other goalkeeping place if he hasnt signed already?
That Aiden Devaney's a bit young...Quote:

No mention of John Russell lads? The star was quoting Cook as saying he was a great signing yesterday!
he is listed on extratime.ie as a GUFC player ?Quote:

There still seems to be a bit of confusion over different players such as Almeida, Russell and Foran.

Now that the transfer window has closed, is it not time to close this thread?. 2573 posts and 205866 views. It has served it's purpose.
Gerry Carr said we can still sign players if they are free agents, Almeida looking for a massive pay check
Im totally confused now http://www.sligorovers.com/index.php...ews&Itemid=246 . everyone in Galway is convinced John is gone to ye whats happened?
He's not a Rovers player...not hard to understand?Quote:

Almeida is gone, Foran is ours, there are still questions marks over Russell but I dont think he has signed for us yet, from what I hear.
No he is out of contract nowQuote:

More than happy with the squad at this stage. Really important to get a good start to season and if we can stay in or around Shams and Bohs im sure our turnstiles will keep on ticking over maybe allowing us to further strengthen in July and who knows how far we could go!!
According to the Irish Times, Faz is in talks with us and Galway about his move from Cork...
Quote:
A couple looked likely last night to move to clubs outside the area with, most notably, Fahrudin Kudozovic talking to Galway United and Sligo Rovers, and Dan Connor on the brink of signing for St Patrick’s Athletic.

Confusion over.
Russell has signed for Rovers.
Also, Cook still looking to bring another striker in, depending on fiances.

I like the look of our squad at the moment,Another striker wouldn't do any harm I suppose that might be Faz.
