McCormack, Sheppard............and many more to depart Cork City!
And the Longford Town squad to replace Sligo Rovers as one of Fenn's (Cork City) first source of new potential signings !

Heard Benson to Pats
It will be interesting to see if we can attract anyone from Dundalk, the budget will be a stumbling block.Quote:

surprised to see Conan Byrne who i rate released so quickly by Shels, he had injury troubles but i would have thought he was a premier player all day.
He cant go to Rovers or Pats as he works as a teacher in the day so Bohs , Bray or Cabo who train in the evening (afaik) might be options.
He said on his podcast he wasnt planning on retiring so one of those clubs is getting a good player, maybe Longford who train in Dublin (i think)
Think he decided to leave himself,wasn't getting enough game time and I believe Shelbourne are going an extra day training,Drogheda or Bray might be good enough options for him I think.
McCormack and Sheppard heading to Derry is one rumour doing the rounds up here.
Mc Cormack is a good signing for any team.
One step forward, two steps backQuote:

The Casey deal is one that both Casey and Bohs want to happen but the problem is he's under contract from Cork. That's where it stands at the minute. Bohs haven't met Cork's asking price and Fenn wants him for next year.Quote:

If we sign you'd think it's a two year deal so we don't risk losing him for nothing.
McCormack would be an excellent signing.Quote:

McCormack on the other hand was outstanding for us although we had a season to forget.
Everyone would be sorry to see him go.
He could play with any side in the country.
yeah we train in Leixlip.Quote:

We've been linked to him which is a strange one unless Clarke leaves because we have Brian Maher as our promising young keeper.Quote:

I think Conor Kearns would be better off playing first team at ucd then back up at pats
Kearns to Bohs would be glorious.
Replacing Talbot as he moves to shams 😀Quote:

Pretty crap having to spend his whole holiday with a curtain around him.

Sloggett is great on his day, but can sometime be a wee bit anonymous. Would certainly have been happy to keep him at the Brandywell though. I don't see how he's going to get much game time at Dundalk, but you could say that for half their squad, I suppose.
Harry ascroft signed for Dandenong Thunder of Melbourne.
seen in one of papers today that Clarke could be leaving ye!Quote:

Reports suggesting there is a fee involved here? Hard to believe Bohs are paying transfer fees when their players are all playing for tips and the love of the game :eek:Quote:

one would imagine so.Quote:

That's a really odd one. Clarke is one of the best in the league for my money. Brian Maher is very highly rated I know, but still young. Barry Murphy neither highly rated, or young. Kearns, if we are gettin g him very young too. O'Donnell is certainly showing a lot of players the door, most of whom I'd have no issue with, a clear out was obviously needed. I'd certainly keep Clarke though. Hopefully the Benson rumours are true. Also hopefully, the rumour that Lee Desmond is on his way, isn't.Quote:

Watts is an excellent player, very hard to get into the rovers midfield but I'd be dissapointed to see him leave , we need good players as back up for injuries suspensions.
He would be a welcome addition. Huge overhaul so far by SOD, I’m looking forward to who he brings in.Quote:
