Ins and Outs

Realistically, who would you like the club to keep hold of and what new blood would you like to see come into the club?

Obviously i would like to retain as many of the current squad as possible, especially Dempsey and O'Connor, probably the 2 reasons why we stayed up this year.

With the way the game has gone, some of the big guns can no longer afford higher wages and full time football, this could mean we might be able to attract good quality players.

What about Jason Byrne? Gareth Coughlan was released by Pats. Gary O'Neill, Eamon Zayed and Colin Hawkins all released? I'd love any of them at the Carlisle in fairness.

At least we can fully plan for the Premier and hopefully attract a few big name signings knowing were we stand.

Any rumors doing the rounds?

I always look at clubs like shells,monagahn,waterford
is there no chance of players in the 1st divission ?
on another note is it likely that we will be going winter football ?

keep mitchell , prendergast, o'connor, dempsey and gregg, the reason for our resurgance . philly hughes from monaghan was the best player on the pitch the other night, great touch to bring other players in and of course its time for jason byrne to come home

Realistically would Jason Byrne consider joining us next season? I would absolutely love if he came back one of the reasons I started following Bray, but if a bigger club were looking for him would he be tempted? Liike everyone i'd like to see us keep most of this squad but I would be surprised if we held on to the likes of Dempsey and Jake Kelly is almost certain to move i'm sure, and good luck to him!

I there anywhere ye can view the players who have been released so far this year?

He was saying he wants to stay playing full time football so unless he is left with no real options i would say we have no chance of getting him. Even if he had to go part time i am sure there are other clubs who could afford a better wage than us.

We could get creative, and offer him a testimonial game against Bohs or Shels, and let him keep the takings. I'm sure there'd be plenty of people in Bray who'd be willing to reach into their pockets to fund the return of a club great.

prendergast is a great player lads, he is a must to keep, as for philly hughes, he is about 2 stone over weight.

I agree with the 2 stone over remark. Thought it was really embarassing watching him play LOI football even if he did play well. It's been about 10 years since I've seen such a horizontally challenged player on a LOI pitch bar that lad who was sacked by Pats.

Theres definitely a few lads we could lose off our current squad who really aren't up to it. The fact that we know what division we are in should help make up a few minds. I wonder would Pender, Coughlan, Mc Cabe, Foran et al have considered staying if they knew we would have been in the premier this season.

I'm pretty sure all the lads who left us last season all came out and said they would have stayed with us if we had of been in the Premier Division

Did shane o neill not sign a two year contract with bray last year and does this list mean that the other bray players are with us for next year or are not seeking employment????

Phew!

Will we know when the other players sign new contracts with us (not just those on that list.)?

I read in one of the red tops that Devo is confirmed as boss for next season to "stabilise the club" and that Shane O Neill was never meant to be on the PFAI list in the first place, that it was just an error.

According to yesterday's Star newspaper, Jake is on a weeks trial with Derby County. Doncaster Rovers are also looking at bringing him on a weeks trial.

Best of luck to him!
