Pre-Season Rumours Thread

I think the fact Deegan is staying with ye (Bohs) means interested has waned? Could be wrong. As for the teacups, won't say too much as it is just a rumour, but think Pizzagate in Old Trafford

I had thought Raf to Sham's and Russell to Bohs were done deals,obviously not.Both class players who could easily cut it over in England but im happy they'll be staying in the LOI.

Has Bohs' transfer embargo expired?

Theres a piece in today's Star newspaper interviewing Stephen McGuinness and he said that he has received alot of contact from all around Europe in relation to players on that PFAI list, places such as Hungary, Cyprus, Malta, England and Scotland to name but a few.

honestly, i dont know - but my take would be that Deega didnt do himself any favours this year with the amount of suspensions he picked up. He needs to clean his game up and maybe another season in LOI will help him do that and get back to the sort of dominance he displayed during our "we are invincible" season.

I heard last night that Jason McCartney,Mick Foley and Brian McCarthy have left the club..

**prince20** · 10/12/2009, 6:50 PM

Any else hear that Gareth Cronin to be Keelys assistant at Shels following John Gills departure to St Pats???

**CSFShels** · 10/12/2009, 7:29 PM

Nope. Wouldn't have thought we'd need one either, thought Gill was more of a token thing.

Rumours down here that Hendo has 10 players on his shortlist (doesn't want all 10 has his main choices and second choices) and that 3 are very close to finalising deals, with Tadgh Purcell said to be signed when Hendo returns from his hooneymoon. How true this is I don't know, was just something that came up in a convo last night.

Probably waiting on the FAI to give them the go ahead to sign players now and to state that the embargo is lifted.

Purcell was on huge part time wages with Shamrock Rovers, I reckon if he took a 50% drop in pay to join Waterford you would still be breaking your wage structure to sign him

He would be a great signing for you in the graveyard, but I reckon there would be plenty of competition for his signature in particular from Pats, Drogheda and Shels.

He would be a decent target man for us esp if he can get back to the form he showed when Rovers won the first divsion and then the following year of consolidating in the Premier!
