Mahon said tonight that 3 more players will be announced tomorrow, A keeper, Midfielder and Striker, The rumours so far have been Dan Conor Garreth O'Conor and Vinny Faherty

On trial with Crystal Palace and Southend at the moment, although I am aware Pats are interested

Apparently Pats are the only team at the moment with a budget approved by the FAI and are allowed to sign players...

Like I said, very poor attitude at times both on and off the pitch, he hasnt been with 9 clubs in 9 years for no reason!

All of our best ever players were nutcases ****ed out of other teams.

You could well be right but I presume that registering a player and signing a contract are two seperate processes and i'd suspect that if Turner signed a contract with Rovers last December then that is a legally binding contract between the two parties - it may not allow him to be registered to play however - as I say, just a guess.

I thought there was a clause in his contact that he could leave to any team that Sean Connor manages?

Good player but prone to the odd red card or three per season ! No pace whatsoever.

VERY good player, he is a centre back so pace is hardly key, but yes, he is prone to losing the head, like the time he stood on Richie Baker's foot and the little Hoop maggot dropped like a stone and Guthrie saw red, instead of an award for doing what so very very many people would love to do!
We'll certainly miss him, and can't see Garry Breen hanging around either, so our central defenders could be Paul Sinnott and Thomas Heary. Optimism of earlier in the week is fading fast . . .

Correct, according to Connor on Monday

Alex Williams signing for St Pats today.

This is a gamble (excuse the pun) for St Pats. On his day he can be devastating - he started brilliantly in the first 4 games for Dundalk, scoring 3 or 4 goals, and really looked the part. He showed hunger, pace, energy, drive, a really cool head in front of goal, and looked like he had the ability to be the best striker in the league. Sadly, for the rest of his time he showed little or nothing of his initial promise.

It appears that his off-field problems may have affected his performances, and that his attitude is very questionable - reoccuring themes at previous clubs in Scotland.

I can't imagine Mahon and Gill being very tolerant - so this one is likely to be either black or white..... a scoring sensation or dossing in the A team picking up his money, before being shipped out on loan in July.

You need to read the post from a Shamrock Rovers fan I was replying to.

yes, ive termed it the Nordie Gay Boy Love Clause.

The only way that movie could be in any way good is if Iris Robinson makes a comedy guest appearance at the end and vilifies them for being "worse than paedophiles". Otherwise, I've been scarred for life for no good reason

[Hibs4Ever]

Thought it interesting that Jamie Harris and Glen Crowe chose Drogs over St Pats cause they offered more money and longer contracts

A few clubs have had their budgets refused already too

Ehhh, what?!

[Hibs4Ever]

Ehhh, what?!

Confirmed last night at a meeting with Pete Mahon and St Pats fans. Harris was offered a 2 year contract by Drogs, Crowe spoke to both clubs but Drogs offered him a better deal and more money
