no i think murph has another ryear, but i think the rest are right.......
expect to see at least 5 leave
Thought murph was out of contract and it was prunty with another year
since his injury murph has nvr been the same id let him vinny shero byrne and pip go from those and blood a few a few new signings in.
Swap Prunty for Mick Dempsey and Xlex has it correct..Im thankful Prunty, Dillon, Barry and Paisley have another year..I cant see Murph going anywhere as for the rest it's hard to see many being kept/staying, though it's up to Garto whether he wants to stay or go, it's all about the money as the song goes.
It is frightening to think that suddenly we have gone from pondering who should be brought in to strengthen the squad, to speculating on what good players may leave.
Has anybody any news on what clubs are looking for what players. Even taking into account that this is the silly season for rumours it is nevertheless worrying that clubs are trying to buy titles. Drogheda appear to have gone crazy and if the keep at it they will have a bankrupt club in a few years. :(
Have heard that pip is on his way back to us, dont know how true that is though ?
That will depend on droghedas success, they are intent on establishing themselves as a top two team, if the money can push them past say Cork then they will be ok, if not and they end up mid table they will have problems, but in fairness the signs are good for them in terms of progress made so far compared to previous seasons where they were up and down like yo yos.
I agree though that all this talk is worrying for Longford, d be very sorry to see Gartland or kirby leave. But what is even more worrying is that amid all the talk of who is buying who, we dont seem to be connected with anyone :eek: We all know the areas we need players for but everytime someone is mentioned we cant afford them (understandably), so where does that leave us?? Roundabout now would be a good time to hear us connected with anyone of worth because its getting hard to see where we will get players from. I had hoped that after a few years our finances would be improving considerably but without week in week out attendances it appears that despite all the succes we are not getting better off........
Its early days yet! I dont get caught up in all the speculation for the simple fact that after Ballybofey we jsut about had a team and the club brought in quality players who have led us to success we had dreamed about!
Our season isnt over just yet, so lets give em time!
Im sure the management is working on things, but we wont have money to splash around, if we are successful in Europe maybe that may make a difference, but as Maz pointed out when we had no squad hardly after Ballybofey and indeed five days before the start of the season, Alan and Aaron were able to get players who did the business for us, we'll leave it with them and see how it goes, for what its worth I heard indirectly through a press source that we were talking to three Drogs players, no names were mentioned though..
I would've imagined that Bray would be looking to get him back now that they are in the Premier. If I remember rightly, I think his home place is right beside Bray's ground. Didn't get as many chances in the first team as he would have liked. I think it might depend on Alan and Aaron's plans for next season.Quote:

Whats this about Kirby on his way out? :mad:
Through it all though Lawlor kept us up with only a half a team in Ballybofey that night, I'll never forget that to him particularly with reynolds getting sent off. One 'best' games ever, maybe even the best!Quote:

Yeah he will be getting more money so I couldn't blame him. What is he roughly getting at the moment?
Somewhere around €400-450 I would think, if he does stay he'll get an increase but it wont be anywhere near €1200, however he does like Longford and Flancare so it's not all abut the money, fingers crossed he'll make the right choice from our point of view
We could ask him to sign for a few months so that he is contracted and (providing he should go for the money) try and get a swap deal with somebody :D
