Nothing has been announced as of yet, the season is only a week over so i don't think any decisions will be rushed just yet, maybe after christmas i reckon but i'd agree with ya, reduce the size of the squad and bring in more quality, think we have the balls of 50 or so players for the Senior and U21 squads, far to many players IMO.
colly james' contract wasnt renewed
and is it going to be? can't understand that at all :confused:Quote:

Rooney will always be one of my favourite players ever to play with Bray. He's just like one of the lads!!! If you go Collie, i'll miss ya....:(
I'd like to echo that.Quote:

I said: "Are you serious??"
He goes: "No, no"
Good news!
Don't scare us like that!!!! Really hope that Tarzan stays on till he gets the goals record.Quote:

SDG told me this today, I was shocked, he's only 25.
as longer is shown the door, i will forgive everything else, i also heard from a guy involved with pats that robbie doyle is leaving them
Can you really see him being let go though? He's probably staying till he retires due to his connections with Devo.:rolleyes:Quote:

As i said thats just guess work on preformances and stories that are floating around the place.....
The U21 players have have resigned and are being brought into the 1st team squad (Ronan Ivory, Darren Lacey, William Tyrrell, William Murphy, Peter McGee and Wayne Byrne) are all more than capable than replacing who the players who leave.
Devo will have his own list of players taht he wants to sign as well to strenghten the club. I reckon we could be in even better shape than we were last season.
Out of all of the above I'd have to say I'd be most unhappy to see Collie James go. A fully fit Robbie McG would be brilliant, but he's been so unlucky with injuries that he's not the player he used to be. Choppers too injury prone too. Wouldn't mind seeing Mc Gov sign up as back up for Weso and Jody.The problem with Longer is he picks up so many yellows for mouthing off to the ref that once he gets booked you fear he'll be sent off. The rest are never going to be anything other than squad players and if all are moved on and one quality player comes in, it will be very good business for the clubQuote:

Anyone know what the deal is with Skippy? Has he signed a new deal or is he leaving?
Bray People said a new 2 year deal wasa on the table for him but he had'nt signed yet.Quote:

Goodbye Robbie. Not a terribly gifted player but he'd always give 100% and we could have done with him next season.Quote:

Yeah best of luck Robbie no matter people say you gave your all any time you put the jersey on and that counts for a lot considering some of the lazy posers in today's game all the best at Dundalk.
Thought he would have been a decent back up player, especially if they let Collie James go as speculated. The guy always gave 100% and while not great technically, wouldn't pull out of a tackle and was committed to the cause. Anyone who saw him when walking past the dressing rooms at Dalymount after he had been sent off away to Bohs knows what I mean. Cheers Robbie, good luck with Dundalk.
Cheers robbie he wasnt the most gifted footballer but always gave his all. Good Luck for the future
Daz, Foxy, Pip and Caffo all re-signed for the club last night.......good news
Best news I've heard in a long time.
I see the Bray people last night mentioned about Robbie Doyle coming back but WORRYING is they mentioned Drogheda are in for him as well and the fact we might struggle to pay him 52 weeks of the year could be a major problem though regardless it's hard to see him turning Drogs down as they are club going places and i don't think he'll go there solely coz of better pay i think it coz it makes sense career wise
Quality news. IMO 4 of our best players last season by a long way. Good nucleus for next years team.Quote:

If we want to progress in the League, we should be keeping Eamo. Sell Eamo and bring in Robbie Doyle- oh dear God nooooo!!Quote:

oh and bray need to keep eamo if, as devo said; 'we wants to challenge for the league next year' is true........
In fairness we'll need more than Zayed if were to challange for the league title !Quote:
