2013 squad & transfer rumours

**Longfordian** · 08/12/2012, 5:12 PM

Mediocre enough anyway when he was here. Won't worry too much about him leaving since we kept Willo McDonagh.

collins was deemed surplas to requirments and has signed back with roddy who as marty said he worked with at monaghan...that leaves us with hope, deans, mcdonagh in the CB positions so one more and 2 back up full backs and we should be fine in the back 4.

Waterford seem to be losing a few including maguire so im confident even at this early stage in fact i think our greatest challengers may come from harps and possibly athlone.

Flood?

**Tallanted** · 09/12/2012, 3:23 PM

Flood gone to play in Australia

**outspoken** · 09/12/2012, 9:59 PM

floody looked a good prospect its a shame we didnt get the chance to see if he was up to it as he got injured...

I saw in one of the papers today that Tomo Crawley is heavily linked with a move to Dundalk.. Thats a major blow to us. btw great interview with kirbs in todays star..

**L.T.F.C.** · 14/12/2012, 1:45 AM

What the **** is going on in Dundalk?

**Longfordian** · 14/12/2012, 7:25 AM

New owners putting in a bit of money. They'll have a budget of around €7k a week seemingly. He'd be a big loss but there's always good young players out there waiting for a chance. Cousins has an eye for a player most of the time.

**Martinho II** · 14/12/2012, 4:31 PM

I also saw in yesterdays paper that alan reynolds is the new favorite for the no 2 position at dundalk. vinny perth mustnt be goin there after all!

**Longfordian** · 14/12/2012, 9:07 PM

Vinny's on a nice number in Malahide from what I know. I was surprised at the talk of him giving it up for an assistant's position. I believe he's said he'd like to give management another shot in years to come though. Felt he wasn't experienced enough when he got put in charge of LTFC. Town legend though and as nice a guy as I've ever met around the club.

**De Town** · 18/12/2012, 3:34 PM

It would be nice to hear from the club as to who exactly has signed up for next season.

**Longfordian** · 18/12/2012, 7:49 PM

I'd say they'll start announcing the bones of the squad soon. It's usually been in the days around Christmas but yeah it'd be nice to hear a bit of confirmation.

**De Town** · 19/12/2012, 9:42 PM

Crawley has a very attractive offer on the table from Derry apparently. Safe to say he won't be back with us next season.

**Longfordian** · 19/12/2012, 11:12 PM

I think we all expected to lose him in fairness, good luck to him wherever he goes.

**Martinho II** · 20/12/2012, 7:11 PM

I think if I was tomo if I was decidin between Derry and Dundalk I would go for Derry cos of the stability there.. I wish him the best of luck in what he does he is a massive loss and imo he should have got player of the year instead of Keith Gillepsie.

**Longfordian** · 21/12/2012, 7:34 AM

Agree with you there Marty, he deserved POTY. Was surprised Gillespie got it, though he had a good season overall.

**Martinho II** · 21/12/2012, 6:56 PM

Des Hope and Gary Shaw confirmed on twitter that they are definitely staying for next season.. Des will miss some of preseason due to injury. Super news..

**outspoken** · 22/12/2012, 10:27 AM

great news alright i just hope we have some luck with injuries this season.

**outspoken** · 31/12/2012, 12:16 PM

A mate of mine that supports Shels was telling me yesterday that Craig Walsh is very close to signing with them.....Bayly and Walsh now in the Premier Division, still think Walshey was never given a fair chance.
