I heard contract offer has been with him for six weeks. naturally, he's going to be interested in anything decent in England.

Duggan is a good signing for Limerick. He'll be a loss to us.

Put it this way. I am very dissappointed if we haven't offered him a contract.

Kenny must have someone very very good lined up.

Would have liked him to stay. Played the first half of the season at centre back and did alright there. Height caught him out but he was brilliant at right back which is where he normally plays. Few niggling injuries got him this year but overall he held out well most of the season on our "pitch"

Don't think there are many better right backs in the league. Most Dundalk fans will be disappointed to see him go and would have liked to have him in the first XI next year. All will be forgiven if Simon Madden makes a return.

He's tidy, but he's not near good enough for a top Premier team. Will have two or three good games and then go missing for another five or six. Also gets pushed off the ball far too easily.

A few Derry lads reckon Madden is keen on a return to Dundalk.

We never wanted him to go in the first place. The brilliant mind of Sean McCaffrey said Madden wasn't good enough for this league, but yet half of Mervue's team was and several numpties from non league teams were also!

I was willing to give McCaffrey a chance. But when he came out with that comment, I gave up on him.

I'd like Madden back too.

You may have a point there on Rossiter, decent player, had some fine games, great passer, but you're right on the mising thing, def missed a few games during 2013. In saying that, I would like if he stayed on for cover, at least.

I think poster was talking about Lee Lynch.

This is not confirmed AFAIK, he wasn't one of the 11 offered a contract but that doesn't mean he is gone. He is probably in Kenny's maybe bracket and he is just taking his time.

**Guinney** · 30/10/2013, 2:29 PM

I'd like Rossiter to stay, good player with a great attitude. He is much better at right back, but done alright at centre back and think he played once or twice at left back and done a good job there too. Maybe Kenny has someone else lined up and if that was Madden then brilliant, as he is a superb player. Even still I'd like Rossiter to be kept on, he is to good to a back up player, but as he can basically play anywhere in defence he be bound to get plenty of game time.

**thomas72** · 30/10/2013, 3:05 PM

With Duggan in and hopefully Lee lynch to follow that's two top signings for limerick. We badly need a top winger a full back and a good centre half or two.
