Shamrock Rovers released 11 players this weekend. I wonder is there a possibility any of them will sign for Ramblers:
David Cassidy, Robbie Clarke, Jamie Duffy, Dave McGill, John McGuinness, Andy Myler, Dave O'Connor, Derek Pender, Alan Reynolds, Ian Ryan and Paul Shiels.
I know Alan Reynolds has been linked with the club before so I probably wouldn't be surprised if he signed and what about Andy Myler a player whose not interested in turning professional and he can score goals aswell.
Hands off, Myler & Shiels are in my dream Mons team (of past Mons players) so will be encouraging our manager to lure them back where they belong!
Rumour has it that ye are looking for Brian McCarthy from us along with most of the other premier division clubs.
We've had enough of Brian McCarthy's for one season
I must say he caught the eye in both games (against Harps and ourselves), but is he from Athlone? If he is I would be surprised if we went for him given the amount of travel involved.
Origionally from Cork but moved up here years ago. Still has a Cork accentQuote:

true, its very important we keep the talented young players we have with us now. and only then look for a few more for strengths-in-depth purposes, as i believe the players we have can more than hold their own in the premier but a few players to cover injuries will be needed.Quote:

Good Luck to him. If he wants i'll drive him to the airport because there isn't a better footballer in Cobh. Obviously i'd prefer if he stayed but he deserves it, good luck to him and u know what i'd pay to go watch him play for Leeds because hes a class act.
Hear hear, good luck Davin whatever way it works out...Quote:

if dav does get a chance he should take it, but, if it doesnt work out he must come back here, or ill break his legs:D, id say there will be few of our young squad in some clubs sights, it is a massive achievement given the young age of the squad
the 25 million we get for Dav will help next season!!!
Feck Dundee are always one step ahead!Quote:

I wouldn't be surprised to see baby Lordan down there.
lordan maybe at a desperate push but please dont even hint at....... lally
we dont want any of citys deadwood, ive been saying it for ages to city supporters that not many of that city side would improve our existing side. but of course they come back and say ''joe gtamble this and joe gamble that'' he is the most over-rated player in LOI history. and for the rest of um, i dont know.:D
We've an amazing group of players now, but if we're to survive in the Prem we'll be needing a more strength in depth and a wee bit more experience. I reckon we need to sign 2 quality players with good Prem experience and also a couple of decent younger lads. Guts is one obvious target (remember he ain't ours yet!) and if a potential 10 or 15-goal-a-season striker is available...
Those sort of fellas don't grow on trees in this part of the country. Ye can guarantee Rico will put out at least half his reserves next week in the hope of off-loading a couple to us. And don't be surprised if Hendo takes the bait, we may be needing them next summer.
Either way, there'll probably be no signings announced for weeks yet. We don't want to be paying wages to a full squad all winter.
Now,now..lets not slag off x players who did give their all for the cause.:mad:Quote:

I'm afraid that Ramblers fans are over-estimating what they've got. I hope I'm wrong, and I want them to stay up, but there is a gulf that you will see next year that you probably did not expect. I think you've got to strengthen!
I agree Pablo... there is a big difference ... in the first division you get away with lapses of concentration or under performances ..not so in the premier. However if Hendo keeps this squad together then the Premier Division will be treated to fine footballing displays, demonstrations of tremendous team spirit and a never say die attitude.
Promotion has only offered Ramblers the means of realising their true potential. C'mon you Rams:D
Have to agree with you there Pablo,been to a lot of City games last season and have to say there is a big gulf between divisions.Think Ramblers will need at least 6 new players who are hungry for success and have experience at this level.I also think 2 or 3 of the squad players will probably be released.
I can't imagine any Ramblers players leavin. I think when Hendo says he's gonna keep the squad together for 3 years he means it.Quote:

He wouldnt have played for more then one game under Hendo if he was lazy and didnt care. My point here is , good players or not so good players shouldnt be slagged off on a personal basis here.Quote:

i think rams should get onto sunderland and get roy to loan us some players who need gametime and experience:)
Is this based on the fact that he runs around a lot and tries hard like the Wexford lads or is he actually moving down to Wexford and joining the Wallace revolution?Quote:

No guarantee that Sunderlands kids will be any better than what we have. In days gone by we always had loan players from across the water and very few of them made their mark.Quote:
