Transfer Rumours 2015

[Captain2007]

Kilduff and McGuinness could be crucial signings for Pats

Then again, I thought the same about Quigley and Fahey last season

Dundalk would like to sign Jake Kelly, has potential and would be a good addition to squad.

MAybe 2/3 seasons ago. His progress has seemed to have stalled.

Is Rodgers in the top 6 loI keepers? Not convinced by him at all, maybe no 4-6 range.
If Pats can get R Finn in, it might help the fans to get over Fahy leaving for his home club. The Pats right back/winger can expect plenty of diagonal balls from McGuinness next season. Another player of the year winner at the club anyway. Also agree that Oman is a more stylish player to watch.

[Lim till i die]

Ronan Finn to Limerick, Ronan Finn to Limerick!!

[Charlie Darwin]

It's hard to think of a player whose stock has fallen as much as Finn in the space of a year. 12 months ago, many Rovers fans couldn't have imagined living without him. Now he's - with all due respect to Limerick - not exactly fighting off offers.

Will suit us perfect if it gets over the line though will look like a huge signing which tbf for us I suppose it would be. Would definitely get a bit of buzz going though. And he is probably still miles ahead of what we have.

Far as I know Limerick have gone all out to make him a marquee player. Rovers aren't interested and Pats and Dundalk aren't that keen. If he goes to Limerick, under Martin Russell, he could be rejuvenated and become a massive player.

[PartySaint]

If we let the opportunity to sign Finn slip it will be disappointing. How's Towell getting on at Cardiff

If Oman is a better footballer than McGuinness that might just make McGuinness the worst footballer of all time.

Best keeper in the league as far as I'm concerned. Who are the 6 you would have ahead of him?

[nigel-harps1954]

All the talk about best keepers in the league is rubbish in my opinion. There's no really good goalkeepers in the league. Rogers is up there with Murphy, Doherty, McNulty and Barry Ryan as the best of a bad bunch. They're all prone to howlers every game or two and lacking in different attributes, but generally solid in other areas.

Any top goalkeeper in our league would have been snapped up in England already.

[Jofspring]

I have to say in the last two seasons I can't remember Barry Ryan having any howlers. He has been a massive thorn in the side of a lot of teams and picked up a lot of points for us with important saves. It's a pity he is coming to the end of his career.

Ronan Finn would be a quality addition but I'd still be very pessimistic about that one being pulled off. Could get the ball rolling though when it comes to future signings.

[Fivesilver]

Much as I'd like them to be accurate now that he's moved on, some of the appraisals of Rogers seem to have been plucked directly from the orifices of people who haven't seen an awful lot of him playing. Sure, it'd be great to believe that the signing won't strengthen Dundalk further, but you won't get many takers for that idea among Rovers supporters who watched him regularly over three seasons.

[Dodge]

Best keeper in the league as far as I'm concerned. Who are the 6 you would have ahead of him?

In no order I think Murphy, Clarke and Rogers are the top 3. McNulty and Ryan just below that. Some good prospects (ie I haven't enough to rate them) in O'Donnell, McGuinness and Coulter. Everyone else is average or worse

There's certainly no Brian Murphy or Alan Mannus there

[ger121]

Talking about keepers. What was the actually story with Cherrie. Was he released or did he opt to go himself?

[White Horse]

Talking about keepers. What was the actually story with Cherrie. Was he released or did he opt to go himself?

The consensus appears to be that he was released. He did want to return to Scotland last year and he eventually agreed to stay for one more year. The club appear to have opted for Rogers as a more stable option.

[Yossarian]

He's been released.

Ah here, that's shocking.

Finn is very strongly linked with Dundalk I believe.

[oriel]

He's been released.

Also the difficult thing for Cherrie was, SK told him this well before he completed the signing of Rogers.

Maybe he will progress under Stephen like Shields & Massey ...done well for Bray last year. imo he has improved with his experience gained at St Pats.
