Dylan Mernagh that has been training with us has re-signed with Waterford.
Lads regarding Shanahan, he was ok last year for us. Played most of the season out of position on the left wing. Chipped in with a good few goals from there, think he ended up with 6 or 7 goals in the end. Kind of was non existant in many games, his passing is terrible, he runs like a headless chicken and his finishing isn't brilliant but as hes only 19 he still has time to mature. Wouldnt have minded if he stayed with us as backup but Kenny obv doesnt rate him.
Any news on pre season friendlies?
Or anymore from last season close to signing?
I heard that Gartland told them he won't train or travel down unless he signs a contract first.
Not hard a thing about either.
He might have just come down Wednesday to talk about a deal or something so.
The news of the resignings of O Leary and Purcell are good, for the life of me i cant understand why there isnt more of last years squad signed already.Would have thought Tracey, Brossie and either Cusack or Ryan or even both of them would have signed. You would then have a squad of 15. Its so late now that im not sure whats left in ireland are worth signing. Have been told all of last years squad are training (except behan and guthrie) so there looking for a contract.
Can understand why Gartland wouldn't keep traveling. I'm sure its costing him a few quid and time to go up and down at the moment and once he isn't injured he doesn't have anything to prove to us. We either want him or we don't.
Might try get up to the next training for a look.
Tomorrow evening I believe...not sure of the time. Any news on Seamus Long? I heard he wasn't there the weekend at all. Was wondering if he had signed back with Waterford.
I'd like to see them organise a friendly to give some of the players a run out. But then again, would they play and risk injury without contracts?
Ya I agree. I suppose the players will have to play a friendly at some stage contract or not. A lot of teams playing friendlies already have players involved on trial that haven't signed yet.
Seamus Long has gone back to Waterford according to a mate of mine from down there. If true, that's 2 players who have turned down premier football with Limerick to stay at Waterford in the First Division.
Or maybe we didn't think they were good enough.
Still it's not looking great...still no assistant?? and 8 players signed
Well, I'd heard Long was offered a contract, not too sure about Mernagh though. The rumours have kind of died down a bit after O'Leary signed.
Anyone go out to training last night? Any new faces?
Some black lad im told his name was Axel and he was french.
2 agents too one Scottish fella and another Fitzroy Simpson http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitzroy_Simpson.
At a meeting on Monday night management said they were bringing in a few full time players from outside Ireland. Prob reserves from Uk as they are being put up in accomadation in LIT campus which will be the clubs base for the coming season.

I know a lad from Africa who was asked down to training, he has played in America not in the MLS but a division below it
Funny one that is! How will it work with a half part-time and half full-time squad?
Mick Daly that was training with us has been training with us is training with Bohs now.
Risky enough one. If the players turn out to be very good it will look like a great move but if the players are poor or no better than whats around it will look like a silly move.
Gartland signs for Shelbourne.
