Close Season/Pre-Season Rumours

Any sign of the transfer fee for Mark Griffin?

[ATFC-1887]

Ryan Matthews, Jeff Flood, Friel and McCarthy (Not sure of first name of either on trial with Athlone last night

[Olander]

Dunno where you got this from

Curran is having a trial with Port Vale and also Stevenage in the next few weeks

He must have some agent..... Having seen Enda play for Mervue, Galway United (the less said about that spell the better) and Salthill, I can honestly say I will eat my own head if he gets a deal off a UK club. He runs around the pitch like a duck, he's not pacey, his work rate leaves a lot to be desired. His finishing is alright. He has a tendency to lose the rag on the pitch and do stupid shít like dive into tackles recklessly or hit out at players. Somebody like David O'Sullivan at Longford would be a much better prospect. I think a career in the LOI is the best Curran can hope for, and I don't think he's above First Division level yet.

Richie Ryan told he can leave Dundee Utd:

is this the fella? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luke_McCarthy_(footballer)

[bullit]

Aye, coming here. I wonder where we're getting all this money for these new signings.

Osborne is on an amateur contract same as he was at Dundalk.

[Longfordian]

Jeff Flood is decent enough but he was constantly injured whilst with us. Big lad, good in the air.

[Sam_Heggy]

Osborne is on an amateur contract same as he was at Dundalk.

He still has to be getting a few quid plus accommodation to justify moving up to Derry, which Im sure is what Brendy was getting at...

Either that or a tongue in cheek remark that he got in before someone else did?

Any sign of the transfer fee for Mark Griffin?

Nah, sure no money left after all these new signings.

..... that or a tongue in cheek remark that he got in before someone else did?

Wasn't tongue in cheek, genuinely wonder where the cash is coming from, considering our poor attendance figures this season.

[atfconline]

Salthill pre-match press release mentions Derek O'Brien has been released, and says he is likely to sign for LTFC.
