He wasn't the worst of last years squad. I'd say he would be ok in the first division.Quote:

Anthony O Donnell from us? Permanent or loan?
Injuries were his only problem really. Great player when fit. Made the club a good bit of money when we sold him to Drogs too.Quote:

Finally the saga of the summer has come to a dramatic end ;)
Haha Surprised Sky Sports News don't have it on it
So ye paid Salthill the compensation we wouldn't and Denis Behan is being linked too but we have more money? Great signing for Athlone but will he get a look in with Gorman and Coughlan?Quote:

And Curran himself said he is taking less money to sign for us because he likes the plan Roddy has for Athlone. Doesn't really matter anyways
I'm heartbroken, what will we talk about now?Quote:

Different Shane Barrett that played with Longford lads, not the striker Barrett this guy is a midfield spoiler who played with rams before and had a short spell in Waterford with Hendo also.
And you reckon Athlone Paid it :P Stop talking through your hole. I seen the message from curran saying he is taking less money with us.
Jesus H Christ you pair are doing my nut in. Mods can the words "Enda Curran" be filtered out from this forum or something?
Anything on Denis Behan? Got released by City today. Wouldn't mind if he came down to Cobh. Signed with Cors before this LOI season so could go back to them.
Well if he's under 24 then Athlone have to pay compensation.Quote:

Athlone didn't pay any compensation.....they bought him a college instead!! ;)
Don't think so if he was on amateur forms? Could be wrong.Quote:

As far as I'm aware, any contract in which consideration of any sort is paid counts as a professional contract. Joking aside, I'd think even Salthill would ensure if they have a decent player on their books they'll have him on some sort of paid contract.
Conor Winn released by Rovers.

salthill got no comp. as Enda would have been free to move due to salthill being unable to pay the players expenses for the past month or more.
Salthill in real trouble with there coaching staff (including senior coach Mike Quirke) moving to local junior clubs across the city and county.
Limerick have signed Carel Tiofack according to his twitter.
Confirmed : http://www.limerickfc.ie/tiofack-hughes
Waterford have confirmed that Danny Furlong has joined them on loan. Some interesting reaction on Twitter related to how much, if any, of his wages Waterford will be paying.
And the sky sports presenter is beside himself with excitement as things really hot up at Finn Park on deadline day.
IN:
Marty Owens (Sligo Rovers, Loan)
Shane Buchanan (Fanad United)
Matt Henry (Derry City)
OUT:
Stephen O’Donnell
Hugh Carlin
Chris McBride (All released)
Any Sligo fans know anything about Owens?
The club's press release says: "Danny's signing is not expected to significantly increase the Blues' running costs, as recent and on-going player movements will see the playing budget remain at the same level."Quote:

Good player and I'm surprised he's going out on loan but we have cover at right full and centre back so maybe they want to get some football into him. You'll like him.
I think he has good potential. Needs games big time as he's wasted on the bench with us.
Not good enough for PD. Has made mistakes in each of the few games he played for us. Young enough so maybe he can improve with games but like Ryan Connolly, don't see him coming back to us tbh.Quote:
