Already we have seen pats and shamrock rovers planning for next season, today marty waters, shane o connor and kevin knight where down in sinnott autos for car launch, are these lads not out of contract at bray or have they signed back for next season, hopefully they and most of the other lads have also signed back for next season.. Any rumours going or any discussions even,,
Wonder will Devo invest some of the cash he has made out of sending Irish players over the water?
At least 3 bray players have been approached by other clubs, offering more money, these players told bray this 3/4 weeks ago but still no response from the club yet,, how long are these players meant to wait for bray to come back to them,,, at least 1 of these player's will be signing to another club next week..
Why are you surprised. It will be the same as last year when Bray start signing players in January & February that have not been picked up by other clubs. That's how we lost Prendergast last year as he could not wait for Bray and had a firm offer from Drogheda.
Anyway, how many of the Bray squad will get regular games at other clubs. Just look a Jake Kelly. He was one of the main players at Bray but rarely featured for St. Pat's from the start last season.
PFAI transfer list updated today 11 Bray players & a couple of Ex. players........Waters,Marshall, Kelly, Hanlon, Doyle, Massey, Mitchell, S. O Connor, Butler, Dwane, Kane all on the list... Coughlan & Foran Dundalk.
I heard we have signed back the entire squad from last season although the list above would make you think otherwise.
Gormley & Lawlor gone from coaching staff, Bray could not even afford to pay their expenses.
I heard that 2 of the above plus another player have been offered contracts with other clubs..keeping alot of last season squad would be an achievement.. unfortunately nobody will know untill its official from the club..Quote:

Looks as if we will be picking up the leftovers in Feb again.We really don't have a pot to **** in..Quote:

Best of luck to John, hope he prospers in the States.Quote:

Adam Hanlon gone to shelbourne,,,
Great news ! Had absolutely no end ball, can't remember the last time i saw him pick a player out with a cross. Presume they have brought him in as a replacement for Kavanagh, Easily better players out there they could have replaced him with.Quote:
