Transfer Rumours

[Ezeikial]

Graham Gartland is a class act - both as a player and a decent individual; hopefully he will grace the LOI again sometime in the future. I doubt if this rumoured move makes any sense!

[Blue Man]

The Gartland story is pure nonsense as he signed a 2 year deal last week or so. Back in Dublin apparently so Im sure he will be seen at Tallaght Stadium at some stage!

[GalwayRed]

What was the story with Darren Meenan being released by Shels?
Thought he was a decent player

He wasnt happy about not being played so he left I think. Shame because he did well when he got on.

[LeixlipRed]

I heard it was related to the use of poor grammar and textspeak

[Hairy Bowsie]

Meenan didn't leave of his own consent.

[Blue Man]

Wasn't he struggling with a back injury all season? Heard he is going to Australia when the season finishes

[Sam_Heggy]

Any Sligo fans hear anything about Cook calling up one of our current players?

Also, Funston has come back to the club and started on Saturday night against Mons.

[Rory H]

Gethins was a rumour. Just that and no source mentioned so hard to take it seriously really.

That's the one I was told yesterday.

Also Derry will be unveiling a new assistant manager in the next few weeks.

[Rory H]

We'll see so. Take it his contract is up in November?

Oh....PH?

I don't know about this one. I'm not sure if we could afford, or actually need, an assistant manager t the moment.

Whats the story with Joxer Kelly being sacked by the Drogs?

Meanwhile, Linfield's Paul McAreavey is set to leave Windsor Park.

McAreavey, whose Linfield contract expires at the end of May, is reported to have held talks with Ballymena United, Lisburn Distillery and League of Ireland club Dundalk.

Paul McAreavey signing for Dundalk, good luck to him but I feel his best days are behind him.

He's 28 years old, ffs! He should be peaking over the next couple of years.

McAreavey completes Dundalk move


Paul McAreavey won every domestic honour available with Linfield

Midfielder Paul McAreavey is set to sign a two-year full-time contract with League of Ireland side Dundalk after ending his association with Linfield. McAreavey's contract with the Blues expires on 31 May and the former Swindon Town player decided to seek a fresh challenge away from Windsor Park.
The 28-year-old had been attracting interest from Ballymena United.
"Paul kept us informed throughout and I understand he wants to play full-time," said United manager Roy Walker.

[placid casual]

Sure . Surely ye're wage budget would plummet through the roof if ye signed him

a bit like the person holding the sign " Up Down" .

[Martinho II]

what has roy walker got in common with paul mcarevay? is this a mistake? thought his manager would be david jeffrey..

[Martinho II]

rumours around town is that an ex certain town player who played for us four years ago is coming back to us. Finn Harps were his last club. We could certainly do with a few new heads at present.
