I don't know what he see's in Mansaram tbh. He's so over-rated.

As a matter of fact we have been linked to both these players as well as Matt Judge and Danny Ventre!

Liam Burns is a top defender and played really well with Bohs last season...he is out of contract atm and with Bohs having to cut their wage bill could be a long shot signing for us as our owner has given Connor a considerable wage budget to work with this year.We are taking on 7-8 full timers!
Chris Turner played really well with ye until he moved to Bohs...didnt really get a look in there but could be a useful signing!
Im very weary about Singh, always injured...did he play much for ye or was he always injured?
Looking forward to seeing Mansaram...hes got alot of pace and very strong on the ball but isnt an out and out goal scorer!which is something that we need!

i was speaking to alan kirby in longford last friday and he confirmed the only clubs that are interested in him are first division clubs. when I asked him about the premier division he said that noone from that division have approached him yet.. wonder is there a slight chance that he could resign for us considering that he is engaged to a longford lass and is building a house in longford..

What age is Kirby...isnt he well into his 30's now...himself and ollie Cahill are past their best..cant see much interest from Premier Division clubs for either but in saying that we signed James keddy when we were last in the Premeir and he had a brilliant season with us!he was into his 30's then to!

Kirby still has a couple of good seasons left in him.
I'd say we're one of the Div 1 sides interested, but whether we could lure him back home away from his new house is another thing!

I'd say ye would get Matthew Judge but I highly doubt your gonna sign Danny Ventre as he only signed a new contract before the season ended.

As for Singh he actually played very well only got injured while with us near the end of the season. He's capable of scoring some great goals. And finally, I wouldn't put to much faith in Mansaram, he looks good but I still find him too over-rated.

Now, don't be fibbing. Keddy is 35. He played for you in the 01-02 season. Well into his 30s??

Yeah I think most Dundalk supporters can make the connection of a scouse lad signing for a scouse manager!Quite obv that he signed for Cook!!he sings his praises week in week out on MSN if hes not giving our about referees...very good manager though!

**gael353** · 04/01/2009, 10:03 AM

Limerick, if they do sign any players will only sign them if their living, studying or working in the mid west. Its not a Basque thing its just for economic reasons. We are in no rush to keep up with the Jones's. Rumour in the first is that there will be 5/6 clubs going amateur this year.

**Dundalkjames** · 04/01/2009, 11:45 AM

Paul Marney was a fans favourite at Dundalk always tried his best but is he good enough for the premier division? Hopefully he does well at shels good player and a nice bloke. I'm also suprised that we released Ben Whelehan Paul Crowley and Ian Ryan

**Iorfa2MaccaJim** · 04/01/2009, 12:53 PM

I have to say, I didn't hear that.

Come on now gael, name teams. Who have you heard. Who are the " 5 or 6 teams that could be going ametuer next season "

**Black and White** · 04/01/2009, 2:01 PM

Theres a bit of talk lately that Liam Burns is close to agreeing a move to Dundalk...is his contract with Bohs finished does anyone know??

I don't think he is to be honest said in the press last week just going over to do some training because of some connection with Gerry Payton he has.

Someone said on another message - board that Michael Devine is not going to be offered a new deal by Cork, and apparently he's on his way to us.

Can anyone confirm this.
