possible new signing?

**L.T.F.C.** · 19/01/2012, 12:36 AM

I might remove James until he proves himself. I saw on boards that James was crap for Shels. Maybe 4-3-3 with Skelly in?

**LFC-Zulu** · 19/01/2012, 3:39 AM

Why do ye have David McGill on the wing? He is, and always has been, a central midfielder? Surely you're not mistaking him for Brendan?

Got a bit of a shock there when i saw sky sports news telling me that an Anthony Modeste signed for Blackburn Rovers, i thought it was the guy that was on trial with us a few years back. It turns out that there's at least 2 Anthony Modeste strikers out there..

Collie Jame is a very good player....I think a few of the Shels fans had something personal against him i seen him a few times other then when they played us and he played very well but still got slated by some Shels fans. Hes a better footballer then McGill imo.

Ah yes, I made that same mistake when I saw his name down as a scorer for Bordeaux a while back. "Our" Anthony Modest must be finished at this stage?

Our Modeste is still playing in the Jamaican league apparently

Have him as a right midfielder as opposed to a right winger, he would fill a gap if we are to get an out and out winger in.. He has played on the right side of midfield before afaik

Personally if i was to pick a team as it stands...

Hunt
Haverty Flood Hope Lee
McGill James Sammo Crawley
Bermingham Shaw

Interesting to see you left out gillespie its something I thought about strongly alright I just think he could come in handy as a holding midfielder but I agree we could do with an out and out winger and I have a feeling TC may change formation this season should be great maybe wel get a few "its like watching brazil" chants again this season

The only time I remember that chant was when we wore the yellow away shirt..

I personally do not think Gillespie has been great thus far. He spent too long injured / suspended last year. Yes he had some nice touches and is a good player to have at set pieces, but I would not have him as an automatic starter. If I was Hyland I would feel hard done by that he was let go based on footballing reasons. He was a far more consistent performer IMO.

Totally agree with you Hylo should still be there

**Longfordian** · 20/01/2012, 7:41 PM

Hyland has signed for Carrick Rangers up the North apparently. Best of luck to him up there he was good for us.

Squad looks set to me (apart from my belief of 3 senior keepers) the only thing I would say is the season is drawing closer and Kirbs still has no home

I know that Noel Fallon is out injured at present for the under 19s so once hes fit he could be in the first team panel..

**Tallanted** · 01/02/2012, 8:46 PM

I thought Conor Devlin was playing ahead of Fallon for the 19s now?

good point tallanted i had forgotten about conor devlin i think he has played more games than Fallon this yr for the 19s... perhaps Devlin might make the first team squad if thats the case!

Great to see Kirbs back,could be a very significant signing...............
