    Keegan for town...

    www.flansiro.net

    Paul Keegan has swapped the red and black of Bohs for the red and black of Longford Town....

    When did this come about? Thought his agent was still waiting for Bohs to make an offer he couldn't refuse...With Kenny at the helm Keegan was always going to leave Bohs though as soon as he could and he was always had great admiration for de town... So this counts Mr Murphy out of coming to the club....Shame,need a good attacking player who can play in the middle of the park..

    Jesus i dont know about this one. I'll give the boss the benifit of the doubt as far as Mr Baker is concerned, but coupled, i just cant see the need for this at all.

    Sorry cont'd...

    As far as Dessie Baker is concerned, he's still a reletively young fella, and even though last season wasn't near his best, i'd still say that he has plenty to offer given the right circumstances.
    But Keegan, im far from convinced!
    Im not out deliberatly to have a go at him, but to me it seems obvious that he peaked a couple of years ago.

    This is two posts about our close season signings that im ending like this, but again, I'd love to be proved wrong.
    this time i think it's less likely..

    Xlex, where did you hear the news on Paul Keegan? Clicked on flansiro.net and there was no news on him.

    Bit surprised on the signing, a bit too old for my own liking. He is a bit past his best.
    Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

    Hit refresh...

    I have to disagree slightly with you Sorbo. Bohs fans are mad for keegan to sign... I would rather Keegan than Baker... I think Keegan will make a fantasic contribution... he's a real good footballer, he will provide some ammunition... Still can't see much changing with


    Digger,

    Dillon Ferguson McGovern Paisley
    Kirby Vinny Pip Prunty
    Barrett Francis

    being my starting 11...

    keegan is good in the air and with barry's love of booting the ball forward this might help.

    i will wait to pass my judgement, his elbows fly a lot and yellow cards could fly too.
    Ignore Max Power, he is no more, the future is Ron Burgundy. I'd love to be Ron Burgundy but they won't let me........

    FFS, very suprised at this signing, for 2 reasons...

    1) Where the fúck is the money coming from? I assume he'll be full time?

    2) Where the fúck does it fit in? Strikers at the club: Francis; Barret; Hasbeen; A Murphy; Baker; Kelly supposed to be back.... And now Keegan..... And still no quality midfielder....

    Like Sorbo I have to reserve judgement based on the last two seasons results, but remain to be convinced this is a good signing...

    oh yeah, ita a bit early fot me, i think he should go on loan to the first division for a bit of experience, but thats old ground.

    it's a little worying... perhaps this trip to America with the FAI cup is a fundraising activity

    Francis
    Barrett
    Hasbeen... supposed to be going on loan up north...
    A Murphy... supposed to be going to UCD
    Kelly.... prob won't be back
    Baker.... Bum boy...
    Keegan... can play a bit...

    a potiential trio who may not be at town next year...

    I'd be questioning Baker long before I would Keegan... I certainly don't think a Baker is a longford town type at all.... Keegan and Baker are both excessive but I think Keegan, although older is more likely to repay Matthews, like Francis has done...

    At the end of the day the board are responcible for finances and it's them I blame not Matthews if it's financially risky... Depends on who you blame at Leeds, Risdale or O'Deary...

    the mananger can only spend the money he is given, if someone keeps giving you money you'll kepp spending it won't you, anyway with Alans finanical background i don't think he'll overspend

    At this rate we'll need NORAID......

    Dunno, Baker is potentially a long term signing, Keegan is definitely short term. Plus he is only going to encourage long ball rubbish football...

    Hadn't thought of that...

    I also think that if Keegan is short term then in the short term Adrian Murphy will be ready.... also the short term long term arguement doesn't really wash when we haven't paid any fees...

    possible, I jumped the gun...

    I'll explain later.... depending on what transpires....

    Will say one thing for Matthews... Looks like hs's handy hammering out deals... he isn't easy on these guys.... don't seem to suffer fools....

    Well Alan is given his budget at the start of the season and its up to him to fit in the players he wants into it, which he's managed to do so far. He's workin on the same budget he had last season, not like he's been given a huge increase. Can see the exit looming for Lavine if it all possible..Presuming Keegan is coming which tbh i hadn't heard about til now..Kelly definitely wont be back if Keegan signs, even if he doesnt cant see Kelly coming back, he's carrying an injury which needs surgery..
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    Have you guys not seen any games lately?????? We don't need 2 midfielders - just one to play alongside Pip. Our best signing for years!!
    We need an attacking midfielder to score goals. As for Barry hoofing it - the odd time he gave it to the midfiled, they actually created something!
