Would only be delighted to have him back

Heard O'Flynn was coming back months ago so no surprise there, should only help to further boost the feel good factor around the club at the moment. Will leave Caulfield with huge selection headache though.

Any more transfer gossip? Been a bit on the quiet side

No need to worry, Croly has shown that signing all the strikers can only ever work out well.

People are over-reacting to the amount of strikers we've signed. Rafter got injured for the season during pre-season, and Elding got injured in the first game of the season and hardly featured before he was released, and now we've signed a couple of strikers in this window to replace them. We have had two fit senior strikers since about 60 minutes into the first game of the season up until the break, one of whom is making the step up from the U19s.

I was being facetious, but you have to admit O'Sullivan, Morrissey, O'Flynn and Morrison would be a difficult balancing act, especially with guys like Lehane, Kearney and Dennehy who can also play in what is basically three positions on the field.

surely its time for people to start speculatiing that Cork will go belly up if they don't win the league... over spending... we all know their budget etc etc

Brian Lenihan linked with Arsenal, Wigan, Everton, Bournemouth, and Aston Villa.

I wouldn't agree with that.

We have the 7th biggest budget in the league

Galbraith gone from Limerick. Huge loss.

Any reason given?

**NeverFeltBetter** · 01/07/2014, 10:27 AM

His contract expired and the club couldn't convince him to renew it.

**nigel-harps1954** · 01/07/2014, 10:31 AM

Massive loss for Limerick. Certainly one of their top performers. Good chance for another club to nip in and pick up a good player for a European run. Would suspect he's looking for a move back across the water though.

How exactly does a club brace itself for offers?

Do they sore up the walls of the office or does everyone just clench or what?

**desaintsno.12** · 01/07/2014, 11:21 AM

and Roy Keane left turners cross "raving" about him. I would love to know how they quantify this and what exactly they heard

**Lim till i die** · 01/07/2014, 11:33 AM

Wouldnt read too much into last Friday if I was Royston.

He could have been blindfolded chained to the Cork dugout and still dominated our "team"

Sorry to see Danny go. Unlucky with injuries (has been a feature of his career, leading to some questions around him) and when he was available he was often not used properly. Easily one of the most technically gifted players iv ever seen play for Limerick. (which possibly says as much about Limerick as him tbf!)
