Transfer rumours

[Jofspring]

Were they 2 of the key men in the run?

Always thought Barry Clancy was a good player. Would have liked if Limerick had signed him. Should be a good player for Shels if he signs. He is small but has always done a good job at fullback or wing anytime i saw him play. Was with Kildare before Mons.

[CSFShels]

Are those the only 2 leaving or are Mons looking at a bit of an exodus?

[Magicme]

Just coz they are talking to other clubs doesnt mean they are leaving!! We have our player of the year awards night on Saturday week so we should know a bit more after that.

[CSFShels]

Word is Clancy has signed.

Rumour on our forum that Pats have offered a contract to Tom Miller

[Mr A]

Can clubs register new players before the FAI approves their budgets for next season?

If such a policy was pushed to the letter, clubs nearly wouldn't be able to sign players on 2 year contracts.

Clancy was/is a terrible full-back, improved when he was shifted to the wing under Mick Cooke. Nowhere near the type of caliber player Shels would need if they want to win the FD. Same goes for Darragh Hanaphy, scored some goals as sub for Monaghan last year but only started two games all season.

I'm not a Dundalk fan but he looked decent enough when I saw him action. Similar style to Dave McAllister.

Heard Brian Shortall is on his way to Inchicore

[Magicme]

Gutted if Shels have raided us but am not gonna panic until after next Tuesday when the Supporters Club are meeting with Mick Cooke and am sure he will let us know what the story is.

Tom Miller - very good young player, hard-tackling defensive midfielder and filled in at centre-back a few times and did a good job there to. He got young player of the year for us and was a fan favourite in the shed. He was offered a new contract with us, but decided to take up a trial with Charlton. As far as I know he played a reserve game with them and got a head injury (not sure if its serious or anything). Can't see him moving to St Pats to be honest unless Pats can offer him a much larger contract than us - which I can't see happening. Would be gutted if he moved another LOI team to be honest, I think a move to the UK is more likely though.

20 year old English tough tackling midfielder that can also play. Excellent prospect but still very raw. Like Guinney said has also slotted in at centre half and was solid in either position. Great engine and terrific work rate. Would hate to lose him to another LOI club

[GalwayRed]

Rumours that we are in talks with Alan Boyle from UCD. What do UCD fans think of him?

[pineapple stu]

Andy Boyle, not Alan I assume.

Centre half; excellent player. Bit disappointing if we're losing players to the lower leagues; was quite happy ye didn't come up for that reason. But financial reality has to have its say, so we'll just have to move on if so.

[Schumi]

Andy Boyle, not Alan I assume.

Hopefully not!

I'd be surprised if he ended up in the first division, class player.

[oriel]

Tom Miller is a decent player, very tidy infact, wont score many, but thats not his game. He was on very low money with us last year as this was his first senior club, would also be unhappy to see him join another LOI club, but in saying that if clubs are only offering 1 year deals, and if I was a player I`d be looking for the best deal around, and quick. I cant blame any player for looking around, especially as most are virtually unemployed til Feb.

News about Kuduzovic's trial: He did well in training so far. FCS want him to stay for another day. Manager Jürgen Luginger told the media: Kuduzovic is a very experienced player and a good footballer. But Luginger isn't sure whether Faz is able to help the club immediately.

[PartySaint]

Good things being said about Miller I hope we do sign him now

Total hoofball, Shorthall has been heavily linked with us, looks like he will be signing, UCD fans how would yous rate him? A few on the Pats forum don't seem to rate him at all, Replacement for Shane Guthrie possibly

[pineapple stu]

Not going to like this thread at all!!

Yeah, heard Shorty's looking at Pat's alright. Very solid defender; picks up a few more cards than you might like, but was up for Player of the Year this season (came fourth I think) - was one of those quietly-efficient-nothing-too-spectacular nominations.
