(Very early) Transfer gossip/squad retention

[Dodge]

Would be very interesting to see how he would get on with a decent budget. His teams always seem to be well organised and he gets good performances out of average players.

His defences have been atrocious in recent seasons. "Well organised" is probably the furthest thing form the truth

Off topic but I see ex LOI player Roy O'Donovan is away to Dubai to play according to Sky Sports News today!

Yup; harsh but fair. We have conceded an awful lot in the past two years in particular. We were "well-organised" under Pete Mahon (with a bigger budget and better players) but are nothing like that now.

Still reckon he's a decent manager though. Be interesting to see where he ends up and how he does.

Who is Martin Russell taking to court? UCD soccer club or UCD the college entity. Does the college help the soccer club financially as well as providing facilities free of charge? I remember UCD used to have a lot of players playing for them who were not students or ex-students and I assume that these guys were getting paid. I would like to see Aarron Callaghan back in the league as he attempts to have his team play proper soccer.

annoucement from bray expected tomorrow or next week, regards new manager and squad

[Hulsey]

Announcements have been rumoured to have taken place "in the next few days or next week" since early december. Let's hope they were worth waiting for

[Martinho II]

On Gary Dempseys twitter page he says that Shane O Connor will be signing for us over the coming days. anyone any opinions on him?

[CityRebel]

Danny Morrissey re-signs for City!

[Bray Head]

Shane O'Connor is a decent defender. Unless Longford are offering him good money I can't see why he'd drop a division and move until Bray situation is resolved.

[bluewhitearmy]

Does anyone have an idea what the situation actually is? Is it just a matter of Devlin being let go and the rest acting up over it or what?

[Longfordian]

TC's current priority appears to be experienced defenders so it wouldn't surprise me if we were prepared to pay fairly decent money to get them. If Dempsey is to be believed most of the "Club X" players have heard nothing about next year so he may not be prepared to wait around much longer.

Shane is decent and would be a good signing for Longford, struggled with injuries in the past, would be known to Don O Neill and Davy and would commute with them as he is from Ashford in Wicklow. He may not be the last signing from Bray!

Gorge won't be playing there, he is the agent of the lads also have Liam Kearney ex cork city heading to Asia.

[El-Pietro]

Danny Furlong has left Cork City and I'm very happy about it. I wish him the best wherever he goes, but he really didn't show the ability to play at the Premier Division level.

Waterford will have him you'd imagine. He'd be a good signing for them. Unless he goes back to the Yoofs.

He was club's young player of the year in 2011, but had played only half of league matches in the last two seasons.

[Acer]

Drogs re-sign Gary O'Neill.

[PartySaint]

Drogs re-sign Gary O'Neill.

Great to hear.

Marc Griffin released by Derry, I'm sure Pats and the 2 Rovers would be interested in that news. How is his relationship with Dundalk?

[jinxy lilywhite]

Marc Griffin I am not sure any Dundalk fan really cares about him anymore. There is no denying his ability but his attitude on and off the pitch stinks to the high heavens.

one of these people who think they have already made it to England before making the jump over.

afaik Sk offered him a contract last year that was rejected by Griffin, I am not sure if he would ask the same question twice

He had a chance last season to escape the goldfish bowl life around Dundalk albeit in Derry but from what I heard he was up to the same carry on as he was in Dundalk

too much of a liability for me
