2013 squad & transfer rumours

[outspoken]

Had he been played up front all season he might have performed better but when he did have chances he missed them unlucky really but thats football, keep the new blood coming TC

[Martinho II]

I saw on TV3 news this evening an interview with Craig Walsh. He has being given a free transfer and is part of the PFAI training camp for Norway. He has being very unlucky to be put on it as he has being a good signing for us only for illness and injury to set him back.

craig was unhappy at the club and wasent gona resign, would of liked him to stay he was good the 1st season with us and now with kirbs n bayley gone we need someone in mid field

[outspoken]

Craig was never given a proper chance so i totally understand his decision to leave....Whenever he was given a small chance to play he looked good and he scored 2 cracking goals a freekick at home vs athlone and a pat sullivan like volley away to wexford so best of luck to him.

[L.T.F.C.]

No harm in Walsh leaving.

[Longfordian]

No harm if we get someone better in to replace him. Same goes for Bermingham.

[Martinho II]

There was a piece on Craig in todays papers.. a few clubs in finland are after him!

[fitzpatrick10]

confirmation on town twitter page, havo has resigned for next season...

[L.T.F.C.]

Wooo!

[Longfordian]

One of our most crucial re-signings. Excellent player.

[Martinho II]

Delighted for Havo.. he was my player of the yr for a lad that was out of loi footie for over a season he was immense!

[outspoken]

Great news alright but we need to get back up in the full back positions as we saw this season when havo and lee were out .

[Martinho II]

I heard today in town that Keith Gillespie and Gary Shaw are staying for next season which is superb to hear. Also I heard ex Arklow town manager Matt Britton and ex loi player is coach with us for next season.. He was key in signing our new striker from Wayside Celtic Mark O'Sullivan who he managed at Arklow!

[Longfordian]

David O'Sullivan isn't it? Always good to hear our best players are staying. Hopefully Shaw can have an injury free season. We really missed him in the latter part of the season. No harm to have some (hopefully) new ideas amongst the coaching staff too.

[Town Legend]

Has O'Sullivan definately signed? I seen in Tuesday's Star that the Irish amateur manager was hoping he'd stay with Arklow and be eleigible for the international team. He said he'd be better staying with Arklow than playing in a 7 team First Division or even secure a move to a Premier side.

[Longfordian]

TC was telling people he'd signed anyway. I'm sure signings will be announced soon enough. Seems a bit selfish of the manager, what level is he going to get to playing for the amateur international side that he hasn't reached already? Time to play at a higher level and the First Division is a step up from LSL. It's not like Town are planning on being in the First for ever more either. Where are Wayside or Arklow going to go?

[Town Legend]

Hopefully you're right and its all signed and sealed...if not I think its a bit of a stunt by the Irish manager to maybe try and orchestrate a move to a Premier club for him by giving him a bit of publicity.

[Longfordian]

Any of the Premier Division teams that would want him are already well aware of him I'm sure, he's been with Bray before. Publicity from the Ireland Amateur manager isn't going to affect anything. Rumour has it one or two of the Dublin clubs were actually in for him but he appears to have chosen to go to us.

[L.T.F.C.]

I'm liking the way players are choosing to go to us! Very relaxing!

[Martinho II]

I saw in todays sun and star that Aidan Collins has left us to go to Athlone Town. I am not too disappointed really he played for Roddy for half a season with Monaghan so it was always on the cards.
