2 agents too one Scottish fella and another Fitzroy Simpson http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitzroy_Simpson.

He seems to be involved with this crowd http://www.goald.co.uk

He must be the person involved in lads coming over from the UK.

Agents hanging around at training is not a good start by the new manager. Will there be 5 or 6 players from Britain in the team this year? could work of course, but if the manager is depending on agents to recommend players it is not always a good sign.

I wouldn't think he is relying on the agents to suggest players but maybe the players he is looking at the agents want to see if it is worth the while coming over to ourselves which is understandable. They would probably want to make sure the players are looked after, trained right, looked after properly medically etc….

I googled "Axel Hamilton Academical" because I presumed he has worked with him before. It threw out his name.

He seems to have had a lot of clubs over the last 4 years.

Wish i had got a better look at the lad that was there but he was well wrapped up over the cold. The fella that was there looked skinnier then that lad though.

Don't like the idea of this one bit, wasn't a fan of Scully but at least he knew the players and the league wondering now should we have given him this season...don't matter now though

**Dodge** · 25/01/2013, 10:07 AM

Not being funny lads but agents have suggested some of the best players this league has seen in the last 15 years (Mbabazi, Ndo). Not harm in giving lads a trial. if they're not good enough, you've lost nothing. Every club in Ireland has had foreign lads on trial. Most of them aren't signed

Papers saying were close to signing Stephen folan. Who??

**superblueslfc** · 25/01/2013, 10:41 AM

21 year old centre back who Newcastle released last summer. I think he came from one of the Galway clubs originally.

Think he was playing with Newcastle, has had a few injury problems though. Heard he was training with Shamrock Rovers and Sligo too.
What's the story with bringing in players from the UK? Does all business have to be done by the close of the transfer window over there?

**Bayern Munchies** · 25/01/2013, 3:51 PM

Yeah he was playing over at Newcastle think he's 20/21 and played right and center back for Newcastle I believe butt played as a center midfielder for Salthill at underage level he was a very handy player for them(Salthil) but that was when he was 16 so injuries could have taken a toll and from what I know he was very unlucky with injuries

**Martinho II** · 25/01/2013, 6:25 PM

I am pretty sure that Stephen Folan played for Galway utd a few seasons back before going across the water

LOI blog saying Marc Griffin could be on his way to limerick according to their "sources" unlikely but would be a good signing.

Rumour was going about last week when it was said the Derry deal might fall through. Would be a good signing but other than the rumour he hasn't trained or anything.
