I read that as Danny Lafferty on trial at Derry and thought "has kenny not seen enough of him all season?"

Best of luck to Horgan -- he seemed to huff and puff, but produce little end product, but if he has developed as Cork boys state, hope he does well.

Would be more concerned with re-signing Davoren, Dillon and co etc.

Oh give me Horgan over Dillon any day of the week. I think he has huge potential and was very surprised when he was sent out on loan in the first place (although I think they may have thought we'd be getting Boco baco).

I don't know why we would contemplate trying to sell the one player we have actually signed for next season

Don't agree I am afraid...Horgan seemed to bluster about with his head down etc...re Dillon he is quality...if he was just given a fixed role and a few games, playing as a winger, he would have got plaudits... Cookie's selection can be a little suspect, worst eg he persisted with the nonsense of Powell over Dav for crucial games [compounded with Keano out] hence we fall short of league title...

Anyways, I heard a few weeks ago that Mark Quigley was coming to Sligo, any truth? Any update on Ryan and Dav re Dundee? More than likely media-guff imo

Gary Curran to Limerick....I think he was at Galway and Harps recently but not sure if i have the right person.

**Mr A** · 14/11/2011, 4:32 PM

Yeah, he was with us and was pretty decent.

Astonished that Limerick can match the gargantuan wage packet he was receiving at Finn Park.

2 free packets of Taytos

I would say the exact same about Horgan being given a fixed role and a few games and he would show more people his class. As the people in Cork will agree no doubt. Dillon is there 3 years now at this stage and hasn't been able to break into the team

Heard we were supposed to be after Danny North as well

**Jofspring** · 14/11/2011, 9:52 PM

From what ive seen of him with Salthill and Cork I agree to a certain extent about Horgan that he puts his head down and just goes but I don't see that as a fault when he has the quality to back it up. He runs hard at defenders and wins a lot of free kicks, he works hard, and he is capable of scoring goals. He scored a cracker for salthill against limerick up in Galway in their first season.

Horgan may want to go to Cork but if he came back to Sligo and was starting regularly would he be saying the same thing? I don't think so. With a run of games with Sligo, if he can nail down a starting place, I don't see why he wouldn't be happy there.

Would be disappointed to see Gary Curran leave. Quality player, if he lost a bit of weight he'd be one of the best centre mid's in the division.

Saw him near chip van at U-21 game, I just hung my head in shame.

Could be wrong, but I think Danny North was shaking some vinegar over Curran's chips

You wont be saying that when you see the size of him, could do with loosing 3 stone at the very least ! Has great quality but with the weight he's carrying he will struggle.

Would love Horgan to stay. If he will be given a chance this time around.

Mark Quigley to Crystal Palace? Heard that before season ended.

Ryan to Dundee seems right but Dav isint.

Well one of the lads has said they seen him in the Gym with our sports scientist and he did a very good job getting Behan fit so if he gets fit from what people say he would be worth signing.

Did Derek O'Brien not sign a two year deal, with option of a third? Maybe it was 1 year, with option of a second. As for the debate about Horgan, there is no debate - a young player with bags of potential, potential which he showed in spades last season for the game or 2 I saw him in, and from the feedback from Corkies. Also heard from people in the game in Galway that he loves it in Cork and wants to stay

**El-Pietro** · 16/11/2011, 5:06 PM

nope Derek signed a one year deal as far as we are aware

**Morginho** · 16/11/2011, 5:51 PM

Since we have O'Brien i think we still need Johnson and Mooney to complete the team :P
Any news on any Mon Utd players??

Lovely lad and a smashing sense of humour but his workrate is questionable at best, my abiding memory is of him doubled over, hands upon his knees.
