Came on for second half of last night's friendly with Athlone (FT 1-0). Looked good, very lively. Played up front with Paddy Madden. not sure if we need another striker as we have Jayo, Raff, Quigley and Madden already there, haven't heard any of them leaving. Maybe Greene pulls a good pint !

Good luck with this, in my view he is well past PD standard, caught out for pace on too many occasions last year including at
least 2 home games which resulted in a defeat by one goal. Had some decent games, can organise things well, but FD standard at the very best.

We can't pick and choose who we want to sign, the budget is tight, and any decent experienced player going is needed in what will be a young squad I'd imagine

**Sam_Heggy** · 08/02/2010, 1:42 PM

Harps hope to have secured the signings of Kevin McHugh (Linfield) and Johnny Minnock (Kildrum Tigers) by Tuesday, according to todays local newspaper. That should be the squad confirmed at that stage.

**Dillonman** · 08/02/2010, 1:47 PM

McHugh would be a huge signing for ye. Statement of intent for the coming season.

great signings for Harps, I though McHugh would have been a certainty for the new Derry franchise

Money is not always a solution.
Kev wants to come back to Harps, he has done for a while now. He says he wants to come back while he is still young enough and not when he is winding down his career.
Kenny and Derry were after Kevin but neither him nor Linfield would deal.

The squad James Gallagher has assembled on the clubs lowest budget in the past decade, is pretty strong and has generated a new feeling of optimism around the club (cautiously awaiting the kick in the nads). I would be happy with a promotion play-off place.
I would prefer to stay in the graveyard until we move into the new stadium in the next 2/3 seasons. Get things sorted off the field first and basically have a fresh start in a new ground.
