He's kinda like John Tierney and he's playing junior in Waterford.
Any thoughts??
Any chance??
Discuss the issue.
great things looking up now
The season is over one week. We will be even stronger next season and thats a fact. John Tierney has decided not to re-sign for personal reasons. Who knows that may change and he will re-sign. Best of luck to him whatever he does. Other than that I would say the majority of last season's squad that Pat Scully wants to keep will re-sign. We need stability and need to keep most of the squad together. It won't be for another few months until be hear about new signings for next season.great things looking up now

Certainly not a player to win you a league. Back up defender i would hope.
Grincell is playing Junior
I think he'd be a very good addition. He has pace to burn and is a good player. As you say LTID he is very like Tierney in some respects. Suprised Waterford let him go. Very good things being said about him on the Waterford Forum. He always worried me when coming on against us.
If the Monaghan squad is broken up at all i would like to see Sava signed or maybe a young Limerick goal keeper like Egan (Killmallock) or Neville (Pike) if Ryan was to leave. Barry Clancy has always impressed me for Monaghan and Kildare before that. He is small but he is a very good full back and is quick on the wing also.
Rory Gaffney from Mervue possibly. Think he is a good player. Always stood out for me when we played Mervue and in a better team he might be a better player. Does a lot of donkey work up front.
What are the chances of Vinny Faherty or is he most likely going to head back to Galway United or Gareth Coughlan who are both gone from Pats. Likely to head to other premier teams but you never know.
The wish list could be massive but the actual players likely to sign would be another thing. We need to get in one or two big signings to kick things off and attract other good players. If we sign too many more junior players and unknowns we are unlikely to attract many good players.

While i would dearly love to see John Tierney with us for the comming season i think the "shoud have been offered a better contract cos hes so good" line doesnt stand up. The statement read "John Tierney has declined an offer of re-engagement with Limerick FC for the 2011" my reading is that he doesnt want to talk to the club so did they get the chance to offer him any contract be it good or bad? Does John Tierney want to play with Limerick football club?
Who put JT on the transfer list was it the club or did the player request it? suppose we'll never know but it would be interesting to see if any of his suiters would come in with compensation for limerick for his services. Put a price on him, anyone?
And as for Brian O'Callaghan signing, i recon its good business. Brian has a matured head on him and was excellent in the games he played in the closing matches of the season. His experience will be valuable for the young players Limerick have at the club

Both Cork and Waterford seem to be saying they are signing Tierney. But then again i can't see either being willing to pay compensation for him.
john tierney will be a huge loss if he doesn't sign and I dont think he was offered a pay rise that wud have brought him up too the level of stevo or wat sean Kelly or Rodgers wer getting..he is an excellant player who gives everything he has for the shirt no matter wher he plays every week.. maybe doesn't score enough goals but how many does he make for the team.. he will be a huge asset too any team in div 1...sad too see a local lad with so much talent leave the club for watever reason it is..

glen crowe released by fingal now there's a lad who knows wher the back of the net is althou he has seen his best days he wud surely still bang a few in div 1...
A few premier teams saying he is outside their budget so unless he would take a big cut i doubt Limerick could sign him. But ya i think he would get a fair few goals alright.
will they need to pay compensation if he's out of contract?

i think we need to try and keep most of the squad together and maybe add a few.If we make to many changes we're screwed as by the time they gel we'll be out of the race.Continuatity is the key.

Would love to get Grincell lovely little player and seemed to always score a few when he got a run of games.
I'd say Glen Crowe will wind up at Bohs or possibly Shels.
We need fullbacks but they're very hard to come by, I always find it hard to think of good ones!! Brian Cleary be a pretty good bet??
What's in town, anyone that knows better than me??
Keepers aswell?? Barry Murphy would be class
Two wingers, a striker, a centre half and another centre mid.
No hassle.
Playing with Waterford Bohs I think.Grincell is playing Junior
Still very highly rated by most of the Waterford lads.
Yep. Under 24 rule I think??
Already signed Paul Walsh from them before so there is a link there with them previously. Hopefully we can sign him.
Its hard to know who would be up to it from the junior ranks. Some very good players have stepped up and not done well. Alan Barry and Pa Moloney impressed me the time i saw them though. Both strong lads. Cleary has played with us before and would do a job. Had some shakey games with us but over the season did pretty good.
Is Kevin Waters still with Waterford? Was outstanding his last spell with us and is an experienced player. Dangerous on the left for us the last time.
Barry Murphy is a top keeper but if he became available i'd say a premier team would snap him up straight away. He has history with Scully though.
Looks like Vinny Faherty might be on his way to Dundalk also.
Usually the most experienced teams win the first division and get out of it but for the past two seasons UCD and Derry have had pretty young squads.
I know I'm clutching at straws, but if he wants to play LOI, and no other team are willing to fork out cash for him, maybe he'll stay with us?
Hows Chucka doing for Fairview always liked him with Limerick.
Barry Murphy would be class alright.
