He'd give Digger some proper competition ..heard from LTFC sources that Connor has signed a deal for €50k per year with Drogs..They have the money in the EL at the moment it seems..
Edit: That's into his hand too..
they might have the paper money......but we have the silver :D
Fookin hell.... And some people expect us to be challenging teams with that type of spending power :confused: :rolleyes:Quote:

Heard some worrying news today as regards two of our out of contract players being offered big money by Drogheda. Money we cant match..Have to hope for the best but there's a fair chance of us losing them..Quote:

I can only guess that it would be players like Dillon, Prunty, Paisley & Murphy?

The directors are pumping the dwogs with the cash.
I dont see why a wealthy Irish business man wouldn't invest heavily in a eL team with a good infastructure in place i.e. LTFC :confused:
well they wouldn't own or even part own the club, it is held in trust for the people of longford, you can only become a member and have 1 vote...
BTW there are only 45 member sof the club, yes thats right, it only cost i think 40 euro and if only 100 extra peole joined that would be 4K extra revenue every year, so grab a member of the board and DO IT ( i have to as well :o )
whats stopping the likes of magnier or mcmanus funding limerick fc.
I just hate the way rich Irish men fcuk of to england/scotland to invest in soccor.Why not invest it here? :confused:
Prunty, Dillon are the considerations here. Although Paisley is a regular U-21 he is unproven to an extent... Murphy has a good job with the bank so unless he takes a year off it wouldn't be a consideration. He's only after getting married so mightn't fancy it. Prunty and Dillon would be a real fear and we'd be hard placed to replace them. Only hope that we can hang on to three of the four mentioned preferably the younger three.Quote:
Dillon, Prunty, Paisley & Murphy
Well at least three of those have next year on their deal, not sure about murph, next close season may be more worrying..
Great to hear. Our defence was where we enjoyed championship-winning form. Need to build from the middle up. Deano and Dessie form a solid base for that. Any word on attracting players in? John McGrath, a Mathews' target last year, has recently been put on the transfer list at Doncaster Rovers (having spent a spell on loan at Shrewsbury).Quote:

Seeing as it's in the paper today, one of the two I mentioned is Kirby. You've offered him €1200 a week..He's waiting to see what we come up but it wont be anywhere near that..The other one isnt Murphy either, though it is a defender

i'd like to see him stay but with that sort of offer and me being a capitalist i'd say, thanks alan and good luck in the future.
Correct but then again it wouldnt have to be 1200 for him to stick with his job and us, but it would have to be a substantial increase, to say 600/700 a week I'd say, which I dont really feel he is entitled to, good player though he is, he's not consistent enough to warrant it I feel..As you say good luck in the future if that's what happens
For what it's worth, Kirbs wants to stay in Longford and I believe has told Mathews as much. Drogs don't have European football - gold in Irish football currency.
ya never know, flancare might fash the cash as well in his day job
I hope you're right!! ;)
spud back at droghedawud seem unlikely, he walked out on us and we hate him for it and judging by his actions after the cup match he doesnt like us much
after the abuse u gave him, what to u expect :confused:
he walked out thats y he gets abuse
Well it looks like ye'll get ye're own back with one or two of ours walking out for ye..
has there been any more developments
Not that I've heard today anyway but they'd have to seriously consider big money deals, our defender was looking for a substantial increase which wasn't going to be forthcoming before Drogs came in so it must be likely we'll lose him.. Alan Mathews will not be a happy camper..
the squad photo should be interesting tomorrow :D
i wonder will john martin smile ????
Could be interesting alright..Won't be all smiles and laughs im guessing
well they have to come down early so course not, but hey they are gettin paid
He used to smile when he scored against Bohs while playing for us ... and he did that more that once :DQuote:
