Right, season is over and there were quite a few players who just didn't preform for us this season... Who do you think will not be with us next season ?
For me, and it's not that i have anything against any of the lads (because i don't, sure i don't even know them !) but i reckon the likes of Goughy, Derek Tyrell, and here's the big shock, i reckon after such a poor season i reckon Franco could go...
With Gough I can understand where your coming from, but Tyrell never got a look in and anytime I saw him he looked decent.
Gougher has to go. He's been appaling this season. I can think of so many times where he missed an interception or played a poor pass and the other team had a chance and sometimes scored. I know nobody's perfect but he makes too many mistakes.
While I don't want to see Franco leave, I think he will as him and Eddie clearly don't get along which is a shame really because I think Franco, on his day, is our best striker.
I imagine Daz will probably retire now. Considering how long it took him to get over his injury, he might be wondering if it's really worth it and at 36 who can blame him. He's also got the appearances record now.
I think Foxy may be on his way too. He's simply not up to it anymore. He tries his heart out but physically I don't think he can keep up much longer.
Derek Tyrell was injured for most of the season. He looked a decent prospect and is still young. With Tresson & Kenny now in their thirties I'd be surprised if Tyrell was let go. We badly need a decent striker. Just think of the amount of games we had loads of chances and did'nt score. Franco struggled with an injury from the start but did manage some goals when he came into the team.
Cawley to us maybe?;)
He seemed to enjoy scoring against his hometown club a bit too much.Quote:

He lives and works in Dublin thou, why would he travel to Sligo for treatment ?Quote:

A lot of very good player are on free transfer so i just hope Eddie goes out and brings in better players than what we have. no point in bringing in average squad players...
I'd be suprised if Franco did go - Gormely thinks highly of him, even if they dont "get along"
its a strange one, he scored some important goals for us but was never given a good run in the team ( want even in the squad last 2 games) i think for his own sake he will go and i think kavanagh and cawley will move to one of the "top 4" teams after such a good seasonQuote:

I could see Kav leaving. He's been outstanding lately and he's bound to attract attention.
In fairness the only top team he was with was Shels in '04 and he was always going to find it extremely difficlut to break into that team.Quote:

I know he's getting on a bit now but i'd love to see Myler at the club, with the way he plays he would most certianly score goals for us. O'Connor from St Pats would also be a great signing.
IMO were only about 3 or 4 good quality players away from being a very good side.
Well he did seem very happy to see a certain bohs manager you know well when we played them in Dalymount. And you are their feeder club...........Quote:

Yep, as have all of our others young players ! you want him then pay up :DQuote:

I heard Fox was retiring but don't know if this is confirmed, sad to see him go a warrior he was but i guess his time is up!!
Any word on new signings? What would yous say is needed most for next season?? Most longford players will be jumping ship id say....
Imo, we need another strong midfield who can tackle, like Duggan, a striker in the mould of Foxy but in better physical shape and at least one full back.Quote:

on strikers i also hope franco stays. Emeka has potential but dont rate him as a first teamer at the moment.
I'd say Mooney is way out of our leagues. Even if he wants to stay part-time, he'd probably go back to Rovers. More than likely it seems he's off to England or one of the full time teams here.Quote:

As much as I'd like to see Franco stay, a partnership of Franco and Dunphy (our 2 best strikers) is too lightweight.Quote:

keddy from drogheda set to sign next week.
reliable source cant say who tho
A little off topic here, but did Gavin Doyle move from Bray to Wexford Youths during the season, I do not know whether it is a different G Doyle or the same one.
Thanks
Yeah it's the same Gavin Doyle alright, he didn't really sign for Wexford from us though.... He was due to sign for us at the start of the season but we found out as he was signing that he had played for 3 clubs, had to wait until the window opened back up and then sign him but for what ever reason he signed for Wexford when it opened up. Well that's what i've heard...Quote:

The only good thing about him is his experience, would be brilliant for the younger lads to learn from. Actually wouldn't be a bad signing at all thinking about it
Sammon would be super alright but he's heading over to the UK from stories ive heard, that or one of the full time clubs here.Quote:

Would Robbie Doyle be worth another punt at it? Did he get on with Gormley?
A young right back has just retuned from Forest. Corrie Tracey. Quite handy. Dunno what story is!
I think robbie's work rate would be a great addition and he's a physical striker that a dunphy or franco could play off. I also reckon eddie could get him on the straight and narrow if anyone
Would Robbie sign though. Seems his talents are being wasted at Dundalk.
I think he would i know for a fact that he's looking for any way back into the premier, plus AFAIK his contract with dundalk is up now after goin out in the play off?
Dunno though. Would Eddie go for him! Not sure if he would. What was the reason for Robbie leaving the last time?
He's pretty handy alright. He's been a few games for us at Ballywaltrim in midfield. I think he could be joining us, AFAIK.Quote:

If he plays normally like he did last night then ye should stay well away from Doyle. Lazy player.
Wasn't Doyle kicked out by Gormley just after he took over, that drinking on the bus incident?Quote:
