Plus, if you take players in who are half way through the UK season, they'll get injured. They end up with another pre season and burn them out. Happened Williams, Curran, Galbraith, Nzuzi, Axel.
I think you need a spine of players with LOI experience and add to it as you please.
Missed out on another one today with Dennehy going to Cork.
Dennehy, Elding and Lynch all missed out on.
Taylor will have some job on his hands next season I would imagine. Hopefully the fans expectations are kept low.
From what I've heard, he's been to see Shane Clarke and Shane Walters a couple of times recently. It will look a bit ridiculous if he wasn't good enough to come in mid season, but is good enough to come in pre season...
Needs must I suppose.
Hopefully things will have moved on a bit before the New Year and a few more will have come in or re-signed. Like Jof said, expectations need to be realistic this year with a (currently) reduced budget.
What do you mean by currently reduced?
Well, if we are going in to January with no players, I presume the board will realise that they'll have to increase it if they want to get in some players who will help us improve on last year. That's what I meant.
Ah was just the currently bit that confused me. If we are going into January with not much more then we have now then it will be too late imo.
Derek Foran who was with Shamrock Rovers last season has said he is talking to Limerick. Would be a very good signing imo as long as it was with Oji and not in place of him.
Derek Foran would be a good signing. Had one two many reds but he is still a good centre half and the rovers fans seemed to like him can play a bit of ball too.
On the PFAI list there are some fine players still available but most will either re-sign with current clubs or be snapped up. Foran, Davoren, Marty Waters, Rice just a few off the top of my head.

Ill be very disappointed if we are not in for some of these we could really do with Davoren and i'm not sure how many more options he would have with the top teams mainly having left back sorted.
Foran would be quality...but the problem is that you're looking at a big outlay on wages. If he's travelling to Limerick between 3 - 5 times a week and spending €50 a trip on petrol, he's going to need to be well looked after. Either that, or move him in to an apartment, but you can bet he won't be dropping too much from his Rovers wages.
Walters looked brilliant in that junior international tournament a while back. If he was interested in stepping up I think he'd be worth a look. How old is he now?
The ball is round and has many surprises.
Not too sure to be honest, he's early 20s though. Would be a nice option with his pace.
Ryan & Sheedy resign.Hopefully more of last seasons players will sign back soon.

Have to be happy with Barry re-signing was unbelievable at times last season. We haven't huge numbers yet but i think we have some good quality in the people we have already.
Interview with Stuart Taylor on Limerick website.

Says he wants another centre back and we are close to two more signings which is good to hear.
He said too “There’s good back-up in the full-back area where we’ve got young Colm Murphy and Shane Costelloe." Which worries me about the standard of squad we will have.
It wouldn't worry me having them as back up if Nzuzi signs who can cover both also. I think both have massive potential.
Ah ya dont mean anything bad about the two lads just that i dont want a repeat of last season when after the first 11 we have nothing but young lads.
