Average performances for us but obvious that he was going to turn out to be a good player. Had a trial with Stockport after leaving us last season.
Anyway some interesting names on this list- http://www.pfai.ie/transfer-list
Billy Brennan
Greg Bolger
Ronan Finn
Evan McMillan
Chris Mulhall
Timmy Purcell
Keith Ward
Quite a few players on there I'd like us to sign actually. Too many to name but Bennion or Dick Brush in goals for us next season would be great.
Enda Stevens on the list too actually.
Rocco to Canada is confirmed. Must have worked up the courage to talk to Rusty. :p
Unless we sell Finn for nice money, I can't see us signing anyone on the list really. But yeah, lots of interesting - even surprising - names.
Also, just to clarify that I don't think any of the players - certainly not Finn or Ev - have been released per se. It seems to be a free agents list more so than the released list it was in previous years, although I do think they're at least testing the water. We're hopeful that we'll keep most of the squad together for next year apparently. Scholarship players are already signed up for next year.
Ciarán Kilduff added to the list now.Quote:

Kilduff is a free agent as well according to the pfai list. I'm sure some club would take him, if UCD aren't keeping him.
Finn is a big loss, hope there aren't too many going to follow. :(
Kilduff's a free agent in the same way Mulhall was a free agent when he was on that list. He's signed for next year, so I wouldn't be too worried about who's on that list TBH.
Finn'll be a big loss. I think Corry can be as good, although the two worked very well together in the last third of the season.
Rusky's also signed for next year, and all the scholarship players have signed too.
Randomly linked with Daire Doyle in the Bray forum.
That's an odd one. The wiki article is a little shy on details. Is he a centre mid or a winger?
Daire is versatile can play central midfield, centre half or probably imo his best position at right back.Quote:

Right back wasn't really nailed down by anyone last year, but there are a couple of decent players there. It makes more sense that he's a replacement for Finn, a little experience in midfield. I presume Corry will start, so it becomes a question of whether it's Bolger, Creevy or Doyle alongside him? Or two of these?
Harding started most of the time when he was fit I think.Quote:

We had Daire Doyle for two seasons. Not good enough, quite simply
True, Harding started at right back at the start and most of the second half of the season, when he was fit. Shortall was in the team most of the year, often at right back. Was Harding injured early in the season too? He didn't play at all in April or May.Quote:

Started off as a central midfielder for us and was converted into a centre half over time, and wasn't very commanding in either position. Never played right back for us I don't think.
I thought he played right back for part of the season in the 1st?. Could be wrong though. Anyhow, he's a really nice fella....
Hmmm maybe he did..

He was nice to everybody I wanted to say positive things!.
Pity that was all he was good for though.Quote:

I don't think we'll make a good attempt at a replacement for Finn. Isn't this guy supposed to be a defender anyway?Quote:

Anyone new signed?
Not that I'm aware.
And schumi - you have mail...
A Limerick fan says we may be signing Shane Duggan back. That would be an interesting one.
Very. How did he do for them last year?
He was at Cork last year, don't know how much he figured or how well he performed.Quote:

How did he do for ye or did he figure much at all for ye?
Was signed on the back of one superb trial performance against Dundee United in a mid-season friendly and was pretty much a first-team regular after that. Didn't really show that form again (although it was hard to shine in that team; nothing up front and no morale or anything), and picked up more than his fair share of yellows.
Coming from 1 of his close friends anyway that he is talking to ye. I would say we will try get him too.
Are these all actually signed or signed the way McMillan is signed?Quote:
