Take everything with a pinch of salt at this time of year. I definitely expect a striker or two and a right winger though.

Aye... Healy can't go on forever. We had Rafter, who at least scores goals, signed up before the start of the season but he was crocked before a ball was kicked unfortunately.
I would think we need a creative midfielder.
Been lacking in that area this season.
A lot thought O`Leary would do that but he didn`t seem to take the chance when given it.
hard to believe the season we had considered Rafter, Morrissey and Elding didn't score a goal between them, and O'Flynn (who did play mostly from the wing in fairness) who was brought in managed just the one goal.
A 31 year old roofer and an U19 who was signed just before the start of the season due to injuries were the only forwards we had that scored goals for us.
Im pretty sure I heard or read somewere that he had another setback and his career could be over
I thought he was good for us (in our worst team in many years) but alot of people in Oriel thought he was a bit lazy and overweight, hence his nickname Snax Box and the fans singing "Michael Rafter, he's on the telly, When he scores, We'll rub his belly" after his goals in the play off V Waterford
His ankle had to be reset, he won't be playing at LOI level again any time soon, if ever.

From that:
Gary Rogers to Dundalk, Richie Towell to Cardiff. Sheppard mentioned as above.
Article says if Horgan goes to England then we have an arrangement with Dundalk regarding compensation.
People on our forum are saying Gary Rogers to us (god knows why we would address the one area of the squad we excel in) but I can't see it happening. He's probably just trying to leverage a better deal from Dundalk.
Rogers is linked with Shams every off season. He'll be going from us anyway I'd say, supposedly got a gah job in Meath so a Dundalk/Dublin team makes sense and seeing as we're cutting back there's no point in paying the high wages he gets when there's not a huge difference in him and Brush.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Might as well stick this in here. Town making an early start on securing our better players for next year.

Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
I have him on the facebook and going by his regular status updates he is currently traveling Asian the last few weeks and will continue to so where he will then go to Australia where he has a year's visa..
Good player in fairness but when we signed him from England in 2011 he was overweight and apparently didn't seem willing to do anything about it. We actually had a very good side that year mind you but still made a mess of it.

Towell training with Cardiff this week. As he's 24 and out of contract, does this mean Dundalk won't get anything for him?
Richie turned 23 in the summer. Nice of Cardiff to offer to keep him fit during the off season.
Ah, I thought he was 24 for some reason. Agreed, nice of Cardiff to keep him fit before he secures his dream move to Shamrock Rovers.
