According to today's Star, they're attempting to sign him before the deadline, but he's "more interested in going back to England"........ FFS like, if he did that just cause Dolan left he'd be some prat.

Georgie had a long meeting with Rico in Rochestown Park last night and spoke to some fans (including myself) after, confirming that he was staying at Cork City.
BECAUSE YOU WEAR WHITE BOOTS :DQuote:

Yeah, he always said on EL Weekly that he thinks that it is Cork's best striking partnership (George & JOF), but he also has to consider using Doyle up front as opposed to the wing. He'd be foolish not to. He will prob have an open mind towards it and we'll find out up in Ballyboofey which is his favourite strike partnership.Quote:

I think that a player that we really should be looking at is Fenn, he's totally Ricos type of player being such a neat passer had his first toutch(sp?). Id say that JOF would want to have his striking boots on him or he could find himself being 'rested' for Fenn.
I think Rico is still pinching himself, at least he can swap things arond and turn a game, always his strong point add that to people wanting to get first team should make an interesting start of season
Are you for real?Quote:

Fenn must see the change of manager as an opportunity to re-establish himself in the first team. But I dont see him starting up front. I mean in most peoples teams Doyler, Flynnie and Georgie would be ahead of him for a place in the front 2. Its hard to see where Damien could fit Fenn unless he moves to a 352 with Fenn as the attacking midfield playing just behind the front 2 of George and John O'Flynn with Doyler on the wing.
Surely the important word here is SQUAD. Not everybody can start every game, but there will have to be some rotation and different tactics for differing opponents. One thing that annoyed a lot of people about Dolan was his very, very late substitutions (if any), and I reckon Rico will do things differently, so everybody might get their chance.
If you paying your taxes in dollars they definitely not paying for his education.Quote:

Btw i remember Rico saying last season when picking team of the year that he picks the best players & then fits them into a team...
Actually, the damn b@stards made me cough up €5,500 for this year, so no, you're not still paying for my education :)Quote:

Thanks for the spelling advice though, much appreciated....(sp?) :p
Georgie was never going anywhere. It was just an over-reaction to Dolan going. Good to hear it confirmed though
Dont know where the story about the Drogs being interested in Georgie came from - the squad , and Doolin are in Turkey , and speaking to club insiders tonight I have been reliably informed that NO attempt was made to sign the player.
A drogs "source" in the Sun said they would be interested if he was available. But he's not, so it doesn't matter
Don't those so-called sources get far too much respect!!! Anybody could say anything and call themselves a source, and some lazy news hound would file copy quoting him.Quote:

Yeah, they sure do. Still, its a handy way of getting the info out there :) Most people (myself included) are very slow to believe "sources" but it still works- even if people don't believe it, it does plant some doubt in their mind.Quote:

Unless they had permission from the club, wouldnt that be player tapping like Chelsea & Ashley Cole? Fine them and give us a cut off it! ;)
The sooner the football starts & everyone can focus on what goes ON the pitch.
At times George really is full of himself.
:rolleyes:
By the sounds of it Lennox gave them permission to talk to Georgie. maybe it was a case of Lennox reminding him who the boss is, and saying "if you don't like it, you can go." He was calling George's bluff IMO, as he was never going to leave anyway. Its done and dusted now, Damo and George have spoken and both are happy apparently, so lets look to the future.
Fair enough Eanna , maybe it is true , the point I was making was that no-one at the club knew. Its possible that Doolin called him from Turkey but as you say - he's staying at City now anyway.Quote:
