John O'Flynn staying at City !!
Thats the rumour anyway.
Who says?Where did you hear that?
Says Red FM for a start!
It's seeming as the day goes on that this may very well be the case!
I'm a bit for and against it though!
wonder what Eánna will make of that :)
Its pretty much guaranteed to happen now. Should make close season a bit more interesting.
O'Flynn + Fort strikeforce running amuck next season?
Well fair play lads I wasn't looking forward to seeing some of the leagues finest being shipped out.

Cork City are delighted to announce that John O’Flynn
has had a change of heart and has committed his immediate future to the
club. John spent the Christmas period mulling over his future and after
talks with his family, with fans and with the club the Cobh native has
agreed to sign a new two year deal.
In signing a new two year contract John has recognised the part the club has played in the
development of his career and has acknowledged that Cork City can provide
him with the platform to fulfil his personal and professional ambitions.
As eircom League Premier Division champions and with Champions League
football guaranteed for next season both the club and John are eagerly
looking forward to facing these new adventures together.
John is personally delighted that he can now concentrate on helping Cork City
become the dominant force in the eircom League while continuing to improve
the club’s record and standing in the European football. The club are very
pleased that John has had a change of heart and are delighted to have him
back on board for a two year spell.
What about the fans, are ye happy he's staying?:confused:.Quote:

By your keeper I presume you mean all EL teams in general yeah? Cos he won't be scoring against O'Hara:p:D.Quote:

I guess we'll never know, but to an onlooker it appears that he wasn't going to be getting the money or the clubs he wanted in England, and changed his mind, Wether the clubs pulled out completely, or didn't offer him enough, is the one bit I'm not sure of.
From what i've heard, he had options but noone was willing to give him a contract longer than 6 months.
He's injury prone.
