Sligo Rovers announced three new signings at a press conference at the Radisson Hotel today
With Cassidy on the scene and his contacts we are bound sign a few more half decent players.
yeah.. nice..
Brush or Arcaba now?
2 Google Searches have resulted nothing for the 2 new lads..
Can someone try FM 2007 and see what it says about them..
Brush is dodgy on crosses, never leaves his line. Hopefully the Aussie is O Hara in disguise. Mentions on the website he has played in Australia and Serbia but not the actual sides he has played for.

to be fair to brush he didnt get much of a look in last year. but i thought he was a good upcoming keeper. he seemed to command his area pretty well.Quote:

i'd be fine with having brush as #1 this year. hopefully the new keeper will have a good all round game. both keepers have much to live upto in terms of replacing o'hara.
I can see why some of ye are worried now , perhaps Rob is underestimating the standard that the Premier is at nowadays:(
i dont know...the english guy talks the talk....also an aussie u20 keeper cant be too bad can he?
I don'y know about underestimating Mcdonald but does look good to me, does'nt make sense letting some of our lads go and bring in a guy from halifax, and an other from some average college team in the states, neither of who have a decent cv in my eyes- i played a better standard of football than the keeper i wonder should i give him McD a ring
Letting Conor O'Grady go is making less and less sense each day. I would have assumed that he was being let go because McDonald felt he had better players coming in but what we have seen so far looks like junior footballers and fellas fulfilling dreams to be professional footballers.
I see serious relegation battles ahead.
O Hara could read the game well, knows when to stay and when to commit to a cross. I remember when Brush replaced O Hara for the cup replay against Derry, the first goal came from a curling cross inside the six yard area just the kind of ball your goalie should be dealing with. Also against Shels in the rearranged game their first goal game from a corner he should of came out and collected. He is the type of keeper that makes your defence nervous actually I would rate Brush better than O Hara as a shot stopper, his reflexes are top class.Quote:

Connor is playing games not going to meet the asking price. This is what he is good at, knows all the bullsh it Turner will get around the town.
When does the irish transfer window close?
I think its a UEFA (across Europe) thing & shuts at the end of Jan
ur right about the examples you said there, but a keeper with a run of games behind him would deal with such things easier than a keeper out of first team practice. i'd still disagree with o'hara in terms of crossing but hey that's football and we each have our own opinions. :) we've two keeper's in squad now so that's sorted and we need a good few more outfield players at this stage.Quote:

You get the best you can for the money you have. Some so called Good Players have come here and been very poor. Just hope Rob isnt panic buying to bring up the numbers.

Turner has had a written transfer request accepted by the club!!
wait on decent offer now.....
Singh training with Bohs, Rumour is Turner will go to Bohs for free, and the club has not followed up on getting compensation for Connor going to Bohs, Professioinal club run by amatures?Quote:

lets get things clear here. firstly the hasty departure of connors (breaking his contract) the club solicitors are currently going for compensation. turner will not go free
and sign s situation is being investigated.
What are these chaps likely to be on in terms of wages? I assume it would have to be at least 300 a week to be worth going full time. You'd probably pay less for a better player like O'Grady. I don't understand this attitude of full time for full time's sake. A talented player training several times a week part time is going to still be better than an average or poor player training full time.
Well supposedly Singh was on over €1,000 worth a week full time last season
He was also receiving wages in the off season and Faz being the other from what I have heard.Quote:

The Star reports today that the Rovers are interested in Greg O’Halloran from Shels. Anyone know anything about this.
doubt it'll happen.Quote:
