Rumours that we're bidding for him.
Rate him highly from what Ive seen but just looking for some info.
Can he play on the right wing? Do ye think he'd do a job for us?
Do ye need him? Ye had Healy and Gamble out wide when ye beat us in April, also have Kearney as well, so where do you see him fitting in?
He is a right-footed player so he could do a job on the right for ye. I'll be sorry to see him go, even is he is infuriating at times with stepover after stepover stepover after stepover stepover after stepover stepover after stepover stepover after stepover stepover after stepover stepover after stepover stepover after stepover stepover after stepover stepover after stepover stepover after stepover before crossing . . . to the 'keeper.
On the right wing. Our midfield is very unbalanced, we dont have a right winger so were player 3 central midfielders and Kearney. Right wing would be our main priority in this window.Quote:

I'd pay to watch that midfield! :DQuote:

Well, if it does happen, we'll get mour chance to pay money in less than 2 weeks as we are due down there on July 4. I'd certainly pay to watch that midfield as well, Cork becoming my favourite 'other' team due to style of play, colourful fans and the fact it is a great city. Ye might be off the pace a little (for now) in the league but ye at least try to play football, and ye were by far the best footballing team last year
Im not sure he will go to any club, Derry held talks with him last November,offerd him a lot more than GUFC could ever but he stayed as he is settled in galway
But time will tell
That's what I was thinking too. He didn't want to leave then, will he want to leave now?Quote:

He is very frustrating to watch. Maybe with a bit of coaching he could be good because he certainly has the ability to beat players and is quick, but for me he runs down to many dark alleys, and his crossing and long range shooting is poor most of the time, and he offers little protection to his full backs. Having said all that he is probably our most dangerous forward player and he was in the pfai team of the year so it is only my opinion.

It looks like he'll be staying unless the club force him out for the sake of €25,000
If he doesn't want to go the club should respect that. I'm sure Derek would want to stay an fight for the rest of the season. I hope he does stay and that himself and the rest of the squad get stuck in and keep us up.
we can only hope - he didnt want the money last season so hopefully he doesnt want it now - if the board have any clue they wont "force" him out
I heard tonight that at least some of the transfer listed players have been taken off the list because DoB has signed for Pats.
Mr. Maroon you seem to run with every rumour as fact,:mad:
Six of the eight transfer listed players were taken off the transfer list because they all accepted a paycut. Nothing to do with O'Brien signing for anyone.Quote:

Mr. Maroon, dont be posting rumours as facts. Dont want to read rubbish like this again. What woodquay posted is 100% correct
He scored a scrappy goal to knock us out of the F.A.I. Cup.
" Derek O'Brien, anywhere on the park ", YEAH RIGHT LOL !
That's great news. Is Daryl Robson included in that 6?Quote:

only regi and Greg are on the list but the club will listen to offers for any of our players
As for DOB I heard he was made a great offer by pats but he has a settled life in galway and turned down their offer
Some of the muck going around about O'Brien is crazy - heard someone last night say he had signed for Dundalk ffs!
Just to clarify, Wes, Daryl, Lester, O'Flynn, Banana and Foley all off transfer list.
The club are still open to offers for players or wont stand in their way if they get another club.
dont know where you're gettin your info out of Mr. Maroon, Derek has not signed for Pats and this is 100% factQuote:

AFAIK Derek is not interested in moving to Pats despite being offered a much better contract than he could get here. Fair play to him, €25,000 was a ridiculously low fee to accept . The club should now put more effort into increasing income to help with the salary cap and let the players get on with the job at hand.
Latest story doing the rounds is that the club are trying to bully Derek into going to Pats because they need the money - €25,000. The same amount of money they would raise by getting an extra 1,250 fans to attend Terryland between now and the end of the season:eek:. I smell a sack the board campaign a'coming......
sack the board! sack the board! sack the board! sack the board! sack the board! lol!
If they do force him out........SACK THE BOARD!
Who will take their place ?
Salthill Devon?
"Our holy Lord, above in Heaven,
Save us all from Salthill Devon".
Amen.Quote:

Can anybody confirm it?
Forced out against his wishes, he is on his way to Pat's.
A loyal servant to the club and a GUFC legend. Thanks for everything Derek, best of luck with Pat's. We all know the truth.
