Was apparently only talking to Foster, dont think anything was agreed. Maher is away for a scan so could be injured atm. Thats what is holding that transfer up.

Just like we did for Gary O'Neill at the start of the pre-season. And just like we did with Steven Gray last year, we could have offered him a bigger deal than what you offered but that would have broke our budget, so we were happy to walk away from him, whereas Bohs made repeated, better offers to him to outbid us for the player.

To be fair, it is admirable how Rovers appear to have gone about their business with these players (whatever about Turner and Fenn last season) and the policy of backing off in bidding wars augers well for their financial prudence.

Although I still can't square the circle with the reported increase in accummulated losses (�600k + ??) and the obviously huge budget.

I know you lads have been worried about lacking in defence, but this guy is a crock. I'll gladly stand to be corrected during the season if he does the business, but other managers have shied away from him because of his injuries.

Hence the reason why Foster has sent him for a medical before he signs him!

**Dodge** · 11/02/2011, 8:56 AM

Medical pretty much only checks his fitness now and stuff like heart etc.

Can't check for brittle bones and dodgy hammers.

And I'm not saying maher's awon't last but he's averaged about 18 games a season the last 3 years

(Oh and Foster didn't send him to a medical for that reason. All signings go for medicals)

Derry meant to have signed scottish defender Stewart Greacen. Was on trial with dundee, who were unable to sign him because of a transfer embargo.

**sligoman** · 11/02/2011, 5:23 PM

Brendan Clarke to us.

thought you had Cherrie and Brush, dunno why i think that tho

Clarke is a great keeper, got 2 decent runs with us and other than one howler vs Derry was very solid , made a save away to cork vs behan that defied gravity. Due to Buckleys inability to pick a keeper and play a different one each week dont think he has had a full season in the LOI ever.

We had Brush but we didn't re-sign him this year due to injury. Never had Cherrie. Was being linked to us on here for a few days after 2010 season but nothing ever came of it.

Just to confirm Clarke hasn't signed, just a rumour. Ciaran Kelly's the only first team keeper we have at the moment. Clarke is training with us.
