Is there a list of players that are currently unattached.
I dont mean that FAI list a while back. I mean a list of players who are CURRENTLY without a club.
If no such list exists, maybe members could list them here and I will add and subtract as necessary/
Apologies if there is already a thread, didnt see it...
There's a list of them on the PFAI website at http://www.pfai.ie/index.php?mod=one...6e3cd23d2cefb0

Aaron Shanahan has signed with Dundalk.
I think I can safely say that all of the Kilkenny players will be looking for new clubs for the coming season:(, except for Michael Comerford who joined Kilkdare County.
amjl, is Stephen Grant good?
Heard somewhere that kendrick lad was signed by dwogs. not 100% on it tho!
Didn't know Mark Dempsey had parted company with Rovers, who's 2nd in command now?
How far back do you want to back to 2003, 2004, 2005 etcQuote:

Ex Ireland U21 international, from what I saw of him he looked pretty tidy, if a little lightweight. Surprised that Waterford let him go really, as they weren't exactly overburdened with good midfielders last year. City should push the boat out and go for Davey Mul though, class act.Quote:

Hayes is a better player in the same mould from what I've seen.
See my transfer thread above and it will give all the players who left their clubs and are now free-agents
I suppose Davey wouldn't be in Joey Gambles league but he can cover several positions well, which any title chasing side could do with. Also his excellent work ethic would fit well with the Alan Matthews model. As for Hayes, he's alright, but not a patch on Kenny Browne. Although I'm pretty sure Waterford have the pair of them signed up long term.Quote:

Yeah Hayes looked alright from what I saw of him against the Dublin clubs last year. I remember when the pair of them were loaned out to City early in their careers, and Kenny looked like an outstanding prospect at that stage. I'm sure Waterford won't be in Division 1 very long now that they are committed to local players like those lads. Robbie Clarke's a top notch signing too.
grant a good player.reason he left Waterford,was he had a huge fall out with the manager.hayes is a very good player but injury prone
no interest at all for alan murphy no?
yeah i think i heard that tooQuote:

Other Kilkenny City players without a club I presume are Paraic Fogarty, Ted O'Connor, Derek Loughnane, Barry Ryan, Aron Ryan and Colin Bargary. I think Tim Kiely signed for Cork City...
Grant left very much under a cloud alright. Good player, very talented, but a shocking attitude. Very rare for a footballer, that. :DQuote:

He is not as lightweight as he looks. Made a good account of himself against Gamble & Healy in the FAI cup tie last year at the cross. Didn't look out of place.
Yes.Quote:

Aaron has been talking to him, apparently. Don't know where that will lead yet but he'd be a great signing if we could snare him.Quote:

The next Georgie O'Callaghan perhaps!:pQuote:
