Strong Defender and Another Forward required for a good team.
Thought Thomas McBride had left the club?????
Naw, he's signing a new contract but going out on loan
Not to us he aint, I hear Mr Bean aint too happy about it either.
Not too happy about what. Harps not taking him or McBride himself?

Plenty of bodies alright - 22 when you exclude Guthrie, even if a few of them are A league players. Ye seem fine in defence unless injuries/suspensions hit. Midfield looks very strong and more creative then last year.
But crikey there are very limitied options up front. Sean Stewart was impressive the couple of times I saw him last season - there could be a lot of chances for him to shine this season.
Whats the word from Inchicore on budget - is it much changed from last season?
Very light up front. Only 2 strikers, the rest winger/forward types. Honestly believe the only difference between Pats & Rovers last year was Twigg so getting North into the 18-20 goal range would be huge. Other clubs can make similar claims no doubt.
We should be OK in defence with plenty of others who can fill in if needed (Murphy, Mulcahy). Midfield have 3 good players in Mulcahy, McFaul and Bradley but bit fo drop after that. Keegan could be an intereting one. He was our best player when he came on on Monday but a little early to be screaming for him to start.
Budget has been reduced from 2010 figures. Manager not happy but he understands the finances have to be kept in order. As far as I know they're trying desperately to get a striker in but have little/nothing to offer them.

And I think a couple of others from the A team last year.
A lot of passengers on that list.
Freeman is dire these days. Ekanem is nowhere near Premier Division standard either. Lester is experienced and did ok at centre back at times but I wouldn't want to rely on him unless he's dropped two or three stone and gained some pace.
