Pre-season friendlies 2010

**SkStu** · 20/02/2010, 10:23 PM

Madden has had 5 goals in 4 games in pre-season. Going on the posters on our mb it looks like it will be touch and go between him and Raff for the starting spot for the spingal game.

Has Aaron Greene made the starting line-up, or played for you yet?

He's featured a fair bit in pre season, Fenlon has said he expects him to put pressure on Brennan for a start on the left wing. Don't think he has signed yet, reliant on us sending players out on loan.

Any word on who might be for the chop? And is this to stay within the 65%?

Would say McEvoy will go out on loan and that its to stay within our approved budget which last I heard was aiming for way below 65%

Galway United and Limerick drew 0-0 today in Milebush

No Heary?

McEvoy played for us against Cork City but not against Fingal...We have being linked to getting a player from bohs on loan so assume its him..

Looking at that Shels v Bohs video, Shels look very weak at the back. Could rely a lot on Deleany again this year.

Correct me if I'm wrong (and I'm sure you will) but is it not the club that owns the player who pays the wages and not the club who is getting the player on loan?
If so, how does this impact on your budget for players salaries?

You're right, but the club who gets the player on loan would be paying loan fees and these should be deductible against the overall budget.

Quite the opposite, videos can be deceiving, by in large, we've been excellent at the back in pre-season, much better than last season. What you'd have seen in the video in terms of poor defending was the second string that came on in the 2nd half. We've only conceded 4 goals in 5 pre-season games, and our opponents were Bohs, Rovers, Dundalk, Drogheda and PFAI Select (made up of alot of top players). Our problems so far have been the opposite, putting the ball in the net, we've only scored 2 in 5, but hopefully the signing of Forsyth can help us there.

Rumour is that McEvoy is going on loan to Shels so it can free up money for Greene,Mark Hughes has also gone on loan to Shels as well so its thought that them 2 wages can seal the Arron Greene deal

What were Fingal like?

**Longfordian** · 22/02/2010, 2:41 PM

Wasn't there myself, I was just getting updates from Twitter. We were good value for the draw by all accounts, not sure if that reflects badly on them or well on us though!. Martinho was there and a few others I think.

**The Lep** · 22/02/2010, 3:55 PM

We played alright with Longford putting up a good show. I see them being in the top 5 this year.
