Pre-Season Rumours Thread

**pineapple stu** · 07/01/2010, 10:02 AM

Thread re-opened. But can we keep away from the club slagging crap, from all sides? The Rovers/Pat's/Bohs triangle wasn't the only one, although it was the worst.

Not on a wind up or anything here,but i presume Fenlon will look to bring some of the better Bohs lads with him to Tannadice.For the better wages i am sure it would be very tempting to alot of them.

A Dundalk fan on our forum says that Dundalk want Mark O'Toole from us. As far as I am concerned, they are more than welcome to him

Probobly wait until he gets there first

would be no surprise if when he settles in that Nutsey looks at LOI players given that is the league he knows best and there is a history of managers dragging a group of players around (back to Jim McLoughlin days and beyond). It will depend on what he identifies as the team needs and if there are players here (throughout the League) that are up to it.

I'd expect one or two to go with him myself.

Wishfull thinking !! any names, Barry Murphy ? Raf Cretaro ? But they have turned down smaller clubs already

He's in Wexford doing his UEFA B licence. At least he was supposed to be anyway.

Think you know everything because you are a UCD, well eff you!!!

**pineapple stu** · 07/01/2010, 11:37 AM

You were mere seconds away from an infraction there.

think we can sign a manager but not 100%. Loss of Nutsey will lessen attraction to the club for some players but how much of a factor this is or how interested he would be in players from LOI is still unknown. Shelley turned down other clubs before agreeing to resign for Bohs, not sure this will change it.
expect Nutsey more likely to go shopping in the summer.

sorry mate didnt read that, thanks

**dong** · 07/01/2010, 12:23 PM

Heard that Bohs and Dundee have agreed a compensation package and Fenlon is on his way. Bohs have also already been in talks with Paul Cook as a possible successor.
Pretty reliable source told me this, but as yet still a rumour so I posted it here.

UCD have resigned Evan McMillan, Ciarán Nangle, Keith Ward and Ciarán Kilduff, all of whom (bar Nango I think) were on the PFAI free transfer list. We hope to get Greg Bolger, Billy Brennan and Brian Shortall signed soon. That'll mean our squad will be the same as last year minus John Reilly, Ronan Finn and Timmy Purcell.

Where has Purcell gone, is he a free agent?

**pineapple stu** · 07/01/2010, 12:52 PM

Think so.

Ronan is a huge loss anyone in the squad last year to step up or will ye have to try sign a replacement?

Paul Corry'll step up. He still has a text on his phone from Owen Coyle inviting him back to Burnley after impressing there. I'd rather the two of them though. We won all nine games the two of them played the full 90 minutes in, I think. We were beating Waterford till Corry came off injured at half time, and he was subbed off against Shels when we drew in Tolka.
