Tempting... Would be a perfect signing.
Agreed. We badly need someone to cover for Byrne when he gets injured. Also we would be the best team looking to sign him.
Darragh Ryan is also alledgedly available. I would love if we sign him for cover for Podge.
Maybe get this thread changed to be about potential signings?
Andy Myler is a must .
Three reasons 1) He has always said to me that he wants to play for UCD again before he hangs up his boots, therefore he is amenable to the suggestion.
2) UCD need a striker who can make double figures in League goals every season. We don't currently have one.
3) Tony McDonnell and Andy have been pals since schoolboy football at St. Kevins. He should make the approach :D
Gorgescu at Bray could be leaving them- doesn't get along well with Gormley. We should snap him up if he is.
4. He's a Focking Ledge!Quote:

Why have Rovers released Myler? It'd be great to see some experience up front and I don't mean in a Paul Whitmarsh kind of way.
Anto Murphy is probably going to Rovers. Don't need him anyway as we have Conan and Fitz.
I wouldn't mind Hughes either but he'd probably end up being another Paul Murphy. It would be worth the risk though if we could get him on loan, without paying too much of his wages.
How's Whitmarsh's knee coming along?
Stories suggest he's being released/fired. I was thinking of Anto Murphy for right back, he played right wing back for Pat's.Quote:

According to "certain reports" McFaul and Bermingham are going to Scúnthorpe and Leeds respectively. http://www.setantasports.com/en/Spor...ritain-locale/
I don't know where these "certain reports" are, there doesn't seem to be anything on the net about it.
You can type Scunthorpe now...
Excellent, didn't know that.Quote:

Franco's a tidy little player. If he gets a run he will get plenty of goals. He's our best striker imo but him and Eddie aren't getting along and there's only one winner there.Quote:

I think, if he leaves, he could be going to a full time team. He is full time as it is and I know he had a trial at Drogs in 2006 and there were rumours that Bohs were interested in him too.
Buna Szia Andrei :D Cei Mai Faci?
SUBTITLES FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T SPEAK ROMANIAN
( Hello Andrei , how are you doing?)
Timmy to Cobh? As arranged by Daz Ryan?
Rumour doing the rounds in the Montrose tonight.
Also, James O'Sullivan, Michael Kelly, David Last and a couple of others asked to get a mention. Hello!!!
The Under 21's impressed me by their ability to overcome a seemingly average performance to grind out results in the Quarter-final win over Shamrock Rovers and in parts of the Semi-final win over Galway United. Paul Somers deserves congratulations for the way he has moulded them into the team they are and also for not losing the rag that often with them when the make bobos. I think we have a few potential first teamers in the bunch of players outside the obvious one's who HAVE first team experience. Some of this squad came up from the Fresher's squad of last year too. Billy and Stan to name two.
McFaul on trial at an English club at the moment, probably Scunthorpe as they were mentioned in the Setanta article.
Batman, Neil Gallagher and Robbie Doyle released by Dundalk. James Keddy and Gavin Whelan released by Drogheda.
Neil Gallagher would be a good signing for Monaghan United. Batman is gone to Shels and Robbie Doyle, hmmmmm. James Keddy might hang up his boots at this stage he's been 16 years in the League at this point and has had several bad injuries during that time. Which leaves Gavin Whelan who lives in Drogheda ......
gavin whelan lives in lusk - not drogheda
Gallagher would prob only be on the bench for us though as we have found a gem of a keeper in Danny Woods, if we can hold onto him. Hopefully Darren McQuaid will be back from his operation and fit by the start of the season so can do the sub duties. If he is we wont really be needing another goalie.
Well he used to live in Drogheda then but that could still colour which club he joins now.Quote:

He's from Dundalk and could go to the Irish League if he doesn't go to Monaghan United .....
Bray have signed Gavin Whelan. Quite a retirement home building up out there!
Any official word on Stephen Hurley to us?
Presume he's going to sign. We've plenty of cover there anyways, and from what I heard, his attitude wasn't the mae west, which is why we agreed to let him go in the first place. Unless that's changed, I can't see him coming back.
Newguy's been released by Monaghan.
resign newguy now.... :D
James Keddy has signed for Shels.
definitely winding down his career if he's leaving a full time club to go part-time in the First Division. This will be his seventeenth season of LOI football. He made his debut for Home Farm way back in 1991.Quote:

Trevor Molloy anyone?;)
Matt Gregg rumoured to have signed for Bray.
http://foot.ie/showpost.php?p=839508&postcount=10
Adds up seeing as Marty said we were after Shay Kelly. Very good chance of Gregg getting first team football.
Colin was mentioning something about Gregg not being with us as well.
How many former UCD players is that at Bray now? Clive, Cawley, Kavanagh, Myler, Gregg?
With Shay Kelly seemingly going to stay at Longford it will be interesting to see who we bring in as cover for Quigley. Steve Williams seems to be the only keeper available in the Premier Division. He's on the PFAI list.
Stephen Cashin was with us before; assume we wouldn't be taking him back?
Ditto James Hussey, let go by Shels. Think he was only on loan there?
Billy Brennan'll probably sit on the bench if all comes to all. Other positions I'd be worrying about getting filled before sub keeper, to be honest.
Hussey signed for Bray after us, then signed for Shels before the season had begun. Shels fans seemed to do think that he did well enough. Doubt he'll come back to us as he left to get first team football.Quote:
