Meanwhile Shelbourne are in the 1st division and St Pats are hardly doing great financially.

Linfield on the other hand..............

Tambouras and Kendrick?

**Longfordian** · 27/06/2009, 1:53 PM

Gareth Cronin wants ten new players. He'll have to settle for four or five apparently. Some of our "old pros" don't want to leave much as he'd like them to!.

An additional signing, a goalkeeper, is expected to follow.

ALEX Williams has been freed from his contract at Somerset Park after coming to a mutual agreement with the club.

Williams, who was United's top scorer two seasons ago, had seen his first team chances restricted during the recent promotion campaign

Not a great signing then.

Not a great signing then.

Why? Because he was Ayr top scorer in 2008 or because of recent restricted appearences?

He certainly has a good career goal scoring record with 2 goals every 5 games since his debut 10 years ago as a 16 year old.

Time will tell, although he showed plenty of skill and pace in his recent scoring debut in the friendly against Lisburn Distillery.

He's a forward. 19yo, quite a good player. Good signing for you as a squad player definitely.

Hajduk were a shadow team whose players were on the town until 4am the night before the game, but Dinamo had the pick of top players and millions in the bank. FInanial restraint is fine, but success in Europe is the only way to get the event junkies interested (see Real Madrid).

Any truth in George O'Callaghan heading to Malta?

I don't even think the Order Of Malta would have him at this stage.

In fairness guys, a motivated Georgie would stroll into any club in Ireland! From the locals he's been dry and working hard since Dundalk. He deserves a chance and good luck to him!

Linfield on the other hand..............

Linfield on the other hand don't have to worry about money like every other club both north or south. You see Linfield are bank rolled by the IFA. It gives Linfield an unfair advantage over the other clubs in the IL, but why change a winning policy. After all, it's part of IL tradition.
