Theyve been following Meyler for a while and had an offer of 150k rejected according to the echo and some other sources. They're expected to come back with a bigger offer.

For those of you who don't read the Evening Echo here is todays back page!

Heard Philly Gorman is going to Shels from us and we might be getting Philly Hughes in return

According to some paper were 'expected' to sign Brendan McGill, ex Gretna winger.

**rambler14** · 11/07/2008, 10:34 PM

Echo said an ex-Notts County player and an ex-Sunderland player have agreed to sign for ye.

Just checked and it seems that Brendan McGill made one appearence for Sunderland between 1998-2002.

Hughes must have fallen out with Keely. Tbh, he never was given a chance with us. And Dave Freeman is a joker. And Gorman has never really impressed me. Depressing stuff as our season seems to be falling apart.

Seems to be the entire division's season falling apart (Waterford and Dundalk too in particular). Fingal for promotion?

I hope this doesn't happen, Philly would be a huge loss.

Have them each way since the start of the season (5/1). Didn't think they'd have enough from the off to take the title though.

I heard Drogheda offered a small sum for Fingal's Paul Caffrey and were told to go pluck themselves. Bray and Galway supposedly interested in Athlone's Carmine Russo but neither offering particularly good terms so he'll probably stay put.

Jaysus, thats some barrel scaping by Drogheda. Replacing Byrne with Caffrey?

Didn't hear any rumours regarding that down here. He has played for us for 2 years under age and now in his third season at senior level as a pro so I would think it might cost some money to get him.
