Looks like the thought of working with Bottler scared Paisley into signing for us...not sure which is worse!

He doesn't want to sign for you but may have no choice.
It was 2009 season that Michael Daly played with Dundalk. Then 19, he became a crowd favorite in the middle of the circus that was Sean Connors' squad, Physically strong and full of energy he made a significant impact in that season despite getting far too many cards. His natural position is defensive midfield although he can also play centre back very effectively. Since 2009 he had one season with Drogheda and has been in Australia for the last two years. If he has progressed in the last two years he could make a significant impact on the league this season.
As regards Gary Shanahan - I would suggest that you should not be so dismissive. Last year he improved a lot as the season went on, produced some decent performances and scored a few goals. He is only 18 or 19 years old and could yet develop into a decent player
Will be interesting to see how quickly some Cork fans flip-flop from
"Behan's on mad money at Limerick"
to
"He's here because he loves Cork"

He dont love us and we dont love him!
If he joins then fair enough, but were not about to get excited about him.
I'm also regularly on the Derry, Shamrock Rovers, and Waterford fora, I've been barred from Pats, can't register for Dundalk or Sligo, think I still have an account with Bohs too but haven't been on there in a while, I also registered for the new Drogs one a while back, but generally only go on there ahead of games against them.
I have a lot of "free time" at work! I apologise to Bray and UCD.
Wouldn't surprise me he is hardly going to say to us that he hates it here when there is a big chance he will be stuck here this season.
As for other teams forums im quite upset i cant get on Corks one always good to see what the other side are thinking coming up to a game, that and id love to see the reaction when/if Behan signs.
Was very impressed with Shannahan when he played against us in the league cup for Dundalk scored 1 if not both goals that night and looked physically strong and quite pacy so I think he could be a very good player.

I always thought Michael Daly was a good player and would be a good signing for most clubs going by the year he was with us. He was only 19 when he was with us, but a real strong midfielder. Very physical player, strong in the air and hard tackler. I wonder did he improve in Australia and what standard of football he was playing at. As already mentioned, he was prone to alot of cards, especially red cards.
Shanahan end up turning into an unlikely cult figure in Oriel last season. Heavily criticised by many at the start of the season as he looked completely out of his depth. But then he started showing he has potential. Can be in and out of games, but the lad gives it all every match and I like to see him doing well.
I'd be very happy if we had him back. Holds the ball up well and scored some beauties for us, always commited. thought he was from co. limerick, but he definitely has a bit of a Cork accent....just where is he from/spent his time?
