Chris Turner has got great potential, I reckon he could be a big success at Rovers.

What part of keeping the thread on topic don't you understand?

Liam Burns training with Rovers (Shamrock that is, before Sligo go spare), Dave Rogers to Shels and Dave Freeman back to Longford. All just rumours at the moment though

Jeez Shamrock Rovers must have a really high wage bill this season. I know they have sold so many season tickets/get high attendances bla bla bla I just hope it doesnt go belly up.

No I wasn't having a go, I just didn't want to see the thread flooded with needless conversation again

Rogers is the new manager of Bandon Afc in Cork so Id be surprised if he's playing for Shels.

Is he not just head of the Academy there? He does the same at Home Farm in Dublin. Not questioning you or anything, I know he has been training with Cork. I had heard that he was Shels bound

Hope not. He's a waster, beyond all the other wasters we may or may not have already. I'm sure he'd be going cheap as nobody seems to want him but that's no excuse. Screwed us over in his last spell as well, disappeared on holiday to America without telling the club or his manager before the cup final after taking his extra two weeks wages and new cup final suit, even though he couldn't play. A few people wouldn't want him back.

**CSFShels** · 29/01/2010, 11:10 PM

No1 should ever ever ever ever want David Freeman. Poor Longford if this is true.

**LeixlipRed** · 29/01/2010, 11:47 PM

I hope he signs for you. I loved traveling to Monaghan last season just for the abuse I got to dish out to the waster, will cheer up that train journey to Longford!

**Longfordian** · 30/01/2010, 12:21 AM

You'd probably have a fair few home fans joining in. I dunno, I can see why he's being linked as we're shopping in the bargain basement mostly but our chairman tends to hold a grudge, hopefully in this case. Wouldn't feel at all comfortable cheering for him.

From what I can gather O'Neill won't sign him unless it's on a free as he wasn't impressed with being turned down in the first place.

God forbid that anyone would upset saint micheal

Of all the people to screw Bohs over over the last 10 years Id have the least amount of time for him.

Ciaran Foley has rejoined Galway United after a year out. The Aran Islands native previously played for Sligo and Limerick

As has Jonathan Keane.

Gary Curran is rumoured to be signing aswell. According to the GUST forum, Seamus Conneely and Barry Ryan should sign contracts over the weekend

**Doomofman** · 30/01/2010, 2:21 PM

I assume people have seen this

Have Sligo actually been paying Turner money since he signed for them. So much for the yarn he spun us. He needed a job but didnt want to uproot his pregnant missus..hes just done it twice in the space of 2 months
