I was there when he mentioned about Jamie.. by the way I heard there that we have a great chance of getting Danny O Connor back.. I thought he had retired but if thats the case I wouldnt say no I would rather him than Ian Ryan to be honest.

Yeah Danny would be a great lad to have around if he fancies it. We'll have to wait and see, I'm sure Bray want him back too.

**Longfordian** · 20/01/2014, 9:03 PM

Jim Hanley was saying on Shannonside tonight that Josh is still with us for the moment. The clubs that have come in for him haven't convinced him and his family that it's the right move for him as yet by the sounds of things.

Danny O'Connor resigned for Bray now too. Pity but I think he lives out that way so it's handy for him.

would josh stay with us ? be very hard for him to make it into the starting 11

**Longfordian** · 21/01/2014, 7:42 AM

Presumably he's already signed some form of a contract given that the club would be getting a fee for him if he goes. As mentioned above he was apparently back training with the rest of the squad at the weekend. He could still go before the end of the month though if they make him a better offer.

**Martinho II** · 21/01/2014, 5:38 PM

on twitter saw Craigoooo @Fitzer_7 said that he is delighted to have signed a first team contract with us. anyone know anything about him. I safely assume he came from the Under 19s

**Longfordian** · 21/01/2014, 5:49 PM

Yeah Craig Fitzgerald, you're correct he's from the u19s. I think he's a winger and from Dublin but I don't know much else about him really. He'll probably just be cover at this stage.

Tricky little winger surprised he wasn't called up earlier tbh. Should see a good bit of game time since himself and Shannon are only 2 wingers

**Longfordian** · 22/01/2014, 4:27 PM

Lee Higgins is in the first team squad as well I see. I know even less about him, aside from him being with the u19s. So that's four of the u19s registered for the first team, Jamie Mulhall, Dean Murphy, Fitzgerald and Higgins.

He's a central midfielder, quite a big lad but great feet.

Just going to stick this in here for anyone who didn't catch it. Jim Hanley on Shannonside speaking with Tony Ghee the other day. Good to hear the youth structures are coming along well.

josh gone to Bournemouth think its a good move for the lad

**Longfordian** · 25/01/2014, 12:12 PM

Hopefully it works out for him. It was a wise move to take his time and not jump at the first offer he got. Apparently he's going into their first team squad not the reserves.

I suppose he'll be match fit after all those trials he was on. Would still be a surprise to see him step up so fast, although Jake Carroll did the same at Huddersfield (for a while, anyway).

**Martinho II** · 25/01/2014, 10:21 PM

I only heard the news on Josh today as I was working the night shift till 8 this morning. A super move for him. Any idea of what the transfer fee was in the end?

**Charlie Darwin** · 25/01/2014, 10:22 PM

Rumour is 40,000, presumably euro but I haven't seen a set figure. You'd have to imagine they negotiated a sell-on clause too - Longford's people seem to be pretty shrewd negotiators.
