good stuff, 2 welcome additions.
Just to let everybody know that we have signed Eoin and Padraig for next year.
good stuff, 2 welcome additions.
can you let us know the latest on Raf,Bocu and Peers please?
glad that we have managed to hold onto doyle & hopefully amond will get amongst the goals once he moves west. with all the talk of players leaving it is good to see doyle staying on & a new striker coming in. don't know too much about amond bar this from wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A1draig_Amond
Good player. I've heard Charlton were even interested in him. Obviously took the more high profile option!
Thats great news.
So far for the 2010 season:
Conor O' Grady
Matthew Blinkhorn
Padraig Amond
Eoin Doyle
Chris Turner (?)
Anyone else to be added ?
Coleman for Ireland
If Amond can find his scoring touch, would be a good signing.
former irish u21international, picked up an injury i think and didnt really get back in the shams team last season. very good signing
Raf and Peers have been made offers by the club.
Turner is a Sligo Rovers player.
We have also made offers to a number of other members of last years panel and hope to be able to announce some more signings before Christmas.
The Club have been contacted by a huge number of players looking to sign for us mainly due to the fact that the majority of League Of Ireland players are out of contract plus the fact that Sligo Rovers along with a small number of other clubs are seen as a safe bet to get their wages paid without any hassle.
It is common knowledge that our budget will be reduced from last year and in turn we are offering senisible contracts that will keep us within that budget.
The days of mad/stupid contracts are gone.
Amond has won the Carlow Sportsperson of the Year Award (Soccer): 2006,2009
TWICE!!!
**** it. No matter how much money Peers is on it's not stupid money or a stupid contract. The guy is the heart of that team, and anyone who says different very foolish.
While I agree that we need to keep the budget down Peers is a player that has saved us so many times, and letting him go would be idiotic. He's worth it.
Peers>Turner>Raf.
Brewer,
When I was talking about mad/stupid contracts, I was talking in general terms right accross the league.
Strikers playing for Cork were on a bonus of between 300 and 500 euro per goal scored on top of their wages plus you had their keeper on the same type of bonus for keeping a clean sheet.
I would love to sign Raf and Peers but we have a budget to stick to.
Either that me and you will end up playing and I dont know about you but I couldn't kick snow off a rope!!
Anyway, it's not over until the fat lady sings!!
