(Very early) Transfer gossip/squad retention

[bluewhitearmy]

Any Cobh news? Been very quiet recently. With City releasing a good few, they should take some of them. Big blow with Kynan leaving.

Was talking to one of your players and he was saying players have heard absolutely nothing from the club. Bit worrying.

Keith Fahey to pats?

until June apparently.

Pats are spending some serious cash.

Haven't you heard? The recession is over. Champions League here we coooooommmmmeee!

Keith Fahey to pats?

trying to get his fitness back after a couple of bad seasons. Was at Sheff Utd on trial but again injury probably stopped him getting a contract. Still a big Pats fan and attends Richmond when he is home.

[Jofspring]

Would think his wages wouldn't be too high either as it's not like he currently has a contract. 6 months LOI and his fitness back up should surely get him some kind of a contract in the uk.

It's closer to 3 months too. Short term deal helps him prove his fitness and gives Pats a good bit of PR.

EDIT; if it happens. We all know these rumours and their likelihood of happening

If it does happen, I would say it strikes more of desperation from the guy. Why cant he get fit and present himself back to his own club and let them judge him on his performances.

Would seem a very odd route to take, back to championship.

When his contract was up Birmingham didn't want to renew it so went their seperate ways. I don't think they have any interest in re-signing him even if fit.

Welcome home to @Keith_Fahey who re-joins the club prior to the 2014 season. Merry Christmas Saints fans!

I don't think it's possible to sign a contract for half a season in the LOI. The standard player contract is always to the end of the season. Though they could input a clause to allow him to be released should he have an offer from across the water

Unbelievable Jeff !!!

That's right - short term contracts are not accepted by the league (with or without release clauses). Club and player can have an unofficial "gentleman's agreement" of course.

Not with lee Clarke as manager anyway. he was injured too

Released by Birmingham when his contract ended ( last year or so ruined by injuries ). been looking for a new club and spent some time recently on trial at Sheff Utd, but again interrupted by injury.

Was talking to him a few months back and he was just hoping to get a run injury free. When he played for Pats he was the stand out player in the League ( despite Bohs brilliance )

Smashing player and wish him all the best ( EXCEPT against Bohs )

Agreed, he`s a decent individual as well who has never forgotten his roots. Hopefully his short spell at Pats can motivate him to give it another go on the other Island.

I'd imagine you'll be looking at some of our U-19's from last year that we don't sign. There's a superb group there as we've had every year.

Vinny Faherty, Derek O'Brien and Iarlaith Davoren expected to be announced for Galway FC in the new year.

Good luck with him, scored a cracking goal v Derry in the league, and did nothing for the rest the season. Def a decent player in his day, and I think he actually joined us as first choice striker, but was unfit for most of 2013.

Davoren would be a good signing, not so sure on O'Brien.

Galway seem to be moving fast building a new squad. Best of luck to them.
