(Very early) Transfer gossip/squad retention

**Straightstory** · 30/11/2013, 11:05 AM

Gavin Brennan has re-signed for Drogheda. The club's best player probably, so that's a good one.

Massive signing for us and a real game-changer for our expectations for next season. Onwards and upwards.

Delighted

So that's ten signed so far and Robbie said he wanted 18 in his squad so 8 to go.

If we can add 2 more key men to that midfield, it'll be one of the best in the league next season.

Don't even think he was the best Brennan at Drogheda last year from what I seen but Drogs fans would certainly know more

Not even the best Brennan, but a good signing all the same.

I think people are pretty happy with the way John Caulfield is doing things.If we hold on to the majority of last seasons squad & with the new signings we should be reasonably strong for next season.

He's miles ahead of Ryan at the moment. That's not a dig at Ryan, people seem to think he has more potential than any of his brothers but he just hasn't reached it yet.

Barry Ryan and Sheedy re-sign for Limerick. Great news, especially with Ryan.

Settle yourself now. Do you realise Drogs finished 8th last season?

Not like a team from Louth can go from near the bottom one season to finish in the top 3 the following season..

We also finished 2nd the year before. There's little consistency in the LOI these days. Apart from losing Prendergast, every signing in and out has been for the better. As I said, a few key additions and I'm confident of another successful season next year.

**oriel** · 30/11/2013, 3:40 PM

Yep, stranger things have happened.

Should be a good league overall next season, there will be a lot of clubs evenly matched from mid table to top 4 again.

Definitely happy and optimistic but we're very light in defense.

No more transfers coming in now, just re-signings so we'll have to see.

I wouldn't be too worried about it, I'd say we'll have a similar number of defenders to last season. We'll have at least another 7 players signing for the first team squad.

Horgan is putting together a nice squad, though it's still a little light up front. You're very dependent on O'Brien.
