His name's Donal Greene, I heard about that thing with Drogheda, think he was sacked over that!

Is he any good though? Must be ok if he's been in England

Hes still only 18 or 19 i think, not a bad keeper at all if he gets is head down,
attitude may be questionable at times though. I reckon with a run of games he would do well. I think hes better than Neil Gallagher anyway. I do know he has a full time job in dublin though so im not sure how his travelling would work!

Donal Greene was with us for the past few seasons came up through the yth set-up He was third choice keeper, he was released last summer and moved to spain recently i heard he came home and had trials with Drogheda.

Dundalk boss Sean Connor is poised to make moves for Newry City midfielder Mickey Collin and Dungannon Swifts striker Mark McAlister. Connor has also offered Newry hotshot Kyle Moran a trial with the club. [The Irish Sun]

Thats yesterdays news...get with the times...today its Chris Turner as I have already posted here somewhere!

Can any harps fans tell who the four players that are under contract enxt season are??I know Minnock is one but who are the other 3??

**LeixlipRed** · 06/01/2009, 12:56 PM

Moran is a disgraceful character. Dundalk will be relegated if Connor signs fools like him.

Mukendi, Minnock and Gethins are 3. The other one could be Beckett but I'm not sure. One thing is for sure I definitely hope its not!

**Mr A** · 06/01/2009, 2:09 PM

Probably McDaid from Derry would be the other one.

Haven't heard of Beckett signing, and hopefully it'll stay that way the useless parasite.

I'd say it's pretty easy to work that out. Wexford already amateur, presumably Athlone and Harps will have considered it. Kildare, Drogs, Cobh would be good bets too.

**pineapple stu** · 06/01/2009, 2:54 PM

Unlikely both Kildare and Drogheda will be in the league.

We'll have some amateurs presumably, but won't be fully amateur.

**DmanDmythDledge** · 06/01/2009, 2:55 PM

Should have read Kildare/Drogs.

**pineapple stu** · 06/01/2009, 2:57 PM

Also, I think Mervue have already said they'll be amateur.

**Mr A** · 06/01/2009, 3:49 PM

Can't see Harps being fully amateur but certainly the wagebill will be small. Ironically there will probably be Ulster Senior League clubs offering better money than we will...

**brendy_�ire** · 06/01/2009, 5:06 PM

From today's Irish News, Linfield have had several offers for McHugh turned down as they haven't met our board's valuation for him.

**sligoman** · 06/01/2009, 5:08 PM

Coleman has been asked for a 2nd trial with Birmingham. They have made an offer too.

**eamo1** · 06/01/2009, 5:11 PM

Jay O'Shea's move to Derby stalled as P.Jones was sacked so apparently he had a game with Birmingham Reserves last night and they have matched Derby's offer(375k).

Paul Jewell not Paul Jones...Derby appointed Brian Clough's son there today as manager...Nigel Clough!

do Galway fans actually think O'Shea is worth that?

**Black and White** · 06/01/2009, 6:20 PM

Funny he was released by Bray this time last year was'nt he?!and now hes worth 375K a year on!

correct.

Also, birmingham havent offered anything for Jay but they are very happy with him. Do I think hes worth �375000 or whatever the rumoured price tag is? Definitely not seeing the price that Fahey and McGinn went for, But hey, if we can get it, fair play !

He was released by Bray because of an incident at a christmas party or something......little did we know what good news that was going to be for us.......well if someone buys him that is!

Dundalk Argus says Shaun Kelly from Hearts and Fabio are to be announced tomorrow or Thursday, and that trials have been offered to Kyle Moran (as we know!) and a Geordie called Dwight Barrett who plays for an American club called Crusaders!
