Greg Transfer Request

**SSS** · 31/07/2004, 6:04 PM

Can't say I'm surprised.
Noel S announced it on Red Bench

Greg should have been in at RB (Lordan has done fine, but Greg is stronger IMO) while Hoggie was out.

I reckon Steve O'Flynn and eventually Gamble will follow suit.

**RedX** · 31/07/2004, 6:17 PM

I wonder will Rovers come in for him?...

I have to say Cillian Lordan is a better footballer than Greg and should be in the side before him.Greg is a good player to have in the squad but not good enough to get in right now.Greg is an erratic player on the ball and capable of anything.Cillian Lordan is getting better and better and is a lot more composed on the ball.

Gamble has just arrived and S O Flynn is just back from injury.They have to fight to get in.How you can say they will soon hand in transfer requests is a bit premature

Greg is stronger physically than Lordan but that will change when Cillian does a bit of weight training in the gym.Lordan deserves his place for his performances the last couple of months and now that Hoggie is back then Greg knows he is third choice right back and his chances will be few and far between.Plus with Colin and Georgie playing great together in the centre of midfield and Gamble,Sweeney and Nwanko also trying for that position there is nowhere for Greg.I'd be sorry to see him go but his days a first team regular are gone so I don't blame him.

Obviously I'm not talking about tomorrow or soon, but Steve had a bust up with Liam Murphy because he thought he should have been in the team three years ago and only signed a one-year with City this time in case things didn't work out in terms of first team football.
Gamble didn't come back to warm the bench either, and has a fairly high opinion of himself.
I reckon these are the two most likely to cause trouble in the context of us having such a huge squad.
Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow...and hopefully never.

I'd hate to see Greg go, but there's no way any of the lads on the bench can expect to get in the team right now unless there are injuries or suspensions, because they've been playing so well- how could you drop any of them?!

**DolansWaistcoat** · 01/08/2004, 1:42 PM

Ya we can't rock the boat now because the starting eleven we have at the moment is doing the business but all it takes is 2 or 3 bad results from us and ppl will start saying we need to freshen up and change things around a bit,but I hope that we keep winning and don't have to do this.

All the best managers keep the same 13 or 14 players in rotation and we are starting to know who our best team is now,so make as little change as possible I say.

If Noel Hartigan was getting his game ahead of me week in week out, I would walk as well. Flynn will fight hard for a 1st team place now, because its a team worth fighting for. City 3 years ago, under LM was a joke.

Don't think it's really a question of dropping players, I'd say more likely give them a rest!!!

Having watched the 3 games after our Euro run it's fairly obvious that some of the players are physically drained. I tought Greg should've played against UCD and possibly should've come on last night.

I'd hate to see him go but the man has to start thinking about himself in terms of getting first team football.

I reckon he'll team up with Reynolds

**pete** · 03/08/2004, 1:58 PM

Lordan is ahead of Greg on merit. When Lordan was out injured Greg had a chance to keep the RB slot but he didn't play well enough to keep it.

Hard to see what position Greg will get a game in future.

**Pablo** · 03/08/2004, 2:25 PM

Waterford? if he went to them? i'd be well p!ssed off

**max power** · 03/08/2004, 2:30 PM

wouldn't mind seeing him in red n black......

Max, he's been there so he knows what it's like.
You don't honeslty think you'll trick him into going back?

**max power** · 03/08/2004, 2:50 PM

some people don't realise who has played for peader, na he'd do a job and at least he'd get to play in a cup final

Are you sure he hasn't already represented us in this competition?

**max power** · 03/08/2004, 3:09 PM

which one, we could be in two finals this year again

If I remember correctly he started for us against Limerick in our 0-2 defeat.
You will be hard pushed to make it to the FAI Cup final again this year.
I'd actually bet agianst it.

**Longfordian** · 08/08/2004, 7:01 PM

Decent player on his day, commitment can be suspect though, but for �10,000 or more I wouldnt touch him with a barge pole. Free transfer maybe, fee no

**tippman** · 08/08/2004, 8:29 PM

waterford need players but 9000 is a bit much, if i were managing id pay 4 or 5000 tops

City fans have seen what he can do. i'd like to see him more involved with us but at the end of the day he wants first team action.

10k is about fair IMO
