(Very early) Transfer gossip/squad retention

**Charlie Darwin** · 04/12/2013, 11:08 PM

He has another year to run. He will either go to Burnley or stay, but Burnley haven't decided if they want to pay a transfer fee.

I presume at 25 and being unproven outside of the LOI that it would be a low enough transfer fee. He'd definitely be worth a punt for any English side outside of the Premier.

The transfer fee would be whatever Burnley are willing to pay, assuming he doesn't have a free release clause in his contract. Burnley's dithering would suggest he probably doesn't.

I think he is a good signing. I've always rated him as a player.

Has to be a first ever in LOI. Four brothers (Ryan's) all with different clubs all at same time. Also all playing PD bar one, the guy with Shels.

Brennans perhaps.

**Fivesilver** · 05/12/2013, 10:07 AM

Not all at different clubs, though?

They will be next season, I think that's the point he's trying to make
Killian - Pats
Ryan - Rovers
Gavin - Drogheda
Sean - Athlone

He has won every domestic trophy available so I'm sure he's happy enough. He scored 20 goals last season, an incredible achievement given the terrible season we had. We'll be happy if he manages to hit the same again next year.

Does anyone know what Croly plans are for next season?

Is there only 2 of last years squad signed?

Barry Muprhy, Karl Sheppard

Ryan Brennan is a quality addition as are Simon Madden, Conor Kenna and Luke Byrne. I can't imagine much enthusiasm about O'Connor and Cornwall

Is there only 8 players signed in total?

**Nah Nah Nah Nah** · 05/12/2013, 11:59 AM

Don't they have quite a few players signed on 2 year contracts from last season?

**oriel** · 05/12/2013, 12:04 PM

Sorry. Ofcourse I meant the Brennan's.

**Jofspring** · 05/12/2013, 12:14 PM

Isn't Stephen Bradley supposed to be signing for Rovers too?

The following players remain contracted to Shamrock Rovers for the 2014 season: Ronan Finn, Ciaran Kilduff, Gary McCabe, Jason McGuinness, Sean O'Connor, Mark Quigley, Richie Ryan and Eamon Zayed.
The club has signed: Ryan Brennan, Luke Byrne, Rob Cornwall, Conor Kenna, Simon Madden, Barry Murphy and David O'Connor.

Sheppard isn't signed but it seems like he is going to based on what he's said himself. I was dreading the announcement this afternoon and when I saw it was a double signing, I thought, "****, Gartland and Bradley."

Don't know where the Gartland rumour came from he was fairly quick to dispel it on twitter anyway.
