That is very weak. High chance I'll be out for the first game of the season against UCD, and probably most Drogs home games where we're playing away on a Saturday.
Lets redefine what it means to heal
Cillian Morrison no harm to the lad but is not up to that standard, he wouldnt get a game for most teams in Division 1, he is not hard enough basically a passenger.
Of course its weak. We're working off a first division budget. And a small first division budget at that!
I'd imagine the three today are our final signings so the 21 man Shamrock Rovers squad for 2011 will be:
Goalkeepers
Alan Mannus
Ryan Thompson (some US team)
Defenders
Pat Sullivan
Enda Stevens
Ken Oman (Bohemians)
Craig Sives
Dan Murray
Conor McCormack (Triestina)
Pat Flynn
Midfielders
Ste O'Donnell (Galway)
Stephen Rice
Gary McCabe (Sligo Rovers)
Paddy Kavanagh
Billy Dennehy
Ronan Finn (Sporting Fingal)
Chris Turner
Strikers
Gary Twigg
Karl Shepperd (Galway United)
Dean Kelly (Oldham Athletic)
Ciarán Kilduff (UCD)
Gary O'Neill (Sporting Fingal)
Players not returning are:
Aidan Price
Roberty Bayly
Neal Fenn
Dessie Baker
Thomas Stewart
Pat Jennings
Stephen Bradley
Sean O'Connor
Graham Barrett
Danny Murphy
I'm sure I'm forgetting someone in either the current squad or released players, but I make it 10 in and 10 released.
Although I'm biased, that's one of the best LoI squads on paper I can remember. Quality and cover in every single department.

Looks quality, but you guys had better pray Mannus doesn't get injured.

thats Sean Kelly surely? not Shaun? oh wait you have him in midfield. Have ye signed a Shaun and a Sean Kelly?
Yes, former Dundalk.
Cumann Peile Dún Dealgan - Champions 2015 (too many accolades to be typing)
Termonbarry Athletic TID!
Does that mean David Sheppard, Ciaran Foley,Ger Cheevers, David Butterfield & Rhys Meynell have been released from the Galway Squad then gufc2000? And if so, then have they signed for anyone recently?
David Sheppard- contract not renewed, don't know where he has gone
Ciaran Foley- had an operation over the winter, ruled out til June/July. He may re-join the squad then
Ger Cheevers- think he has signed for our A Team/U-19 team
David Butterfield- Haven't a clue about him
Rhys Meynell- there were registration problems, cannot sign until June at the earliest. He may sign then, but I wouldn't be so sure
Both Sean Kelly (former GUFC, Limerick, Cork player) and Shaun Kelly (former Dundalk) have signed up.
Thanks for the info gufc2000 and what about Jonathan Keane then?
He is sticking to the GAA this year I think, didn't rally feature that much last year anyway
Thanks for confirming that gufc2000 and do you have any info on Eduardo at all and is Keith Duffy the same lad from Sligo Rovers?
Yes, Duffy is from Sligo, don't know anything about him apart from being a defender though.
Eduardo is a midfielder, I presume he's Brazilian. He'll be mainly with our A team aswell I think
There is 2 Eduardo's at Galway,
Eduardo Lacerda - 02/03/1992
Eduardo Dusi Alvim Silveira Cordeiro (Dudu) - 13/10/1989
Yes, it appears to be the same Keith Duffy.
Thanks for the info TheBoss as well, i saw Neil Keane played for Galway last night, did he play for Mervue before? Is he a striker or a central midfielder and what age is he if anyone knows??
