Shels have confirmed the signings of Glen Crowe, Bobby Ryan, Colin Hawkins, Richie Baker and Gary O'Neil.

We've also confirmed the release of Ger McCarthy, Alan McDermott, Thomas Morgan, Tony McCarthy, Alan Murphy and, very very very oddly, Juan Sara. What an odd signing he was, he came, he played U21 football, and he left again, very odd

On top of that, we're looking to loan out Ger Rowe to help him get first team football. He'd be a great signing for any lower premier team or any first division side, and Fenlon has said he has not finished buying yet with cover for Owen Heary being the target now.

Press confrence for the new signings will take place in a few days.

Foley is the best centre half in the league IMO , better than Hawkins. He would be a great signing to play beside Bennett but I pray he stays with Pats. The other 2 would also be good signings

**Pablo** · 22/11/2004, 2:19 PM

i suppose offers and counter offers will be floating arounf for the next few months.

it'll be interesting to see what happens. City need a big signing or 2 to signal our intent on winning the title next season

.

Maybe he turned out to be total muck/totally unfit/didnt like Dublin?! Gary O'Neill will do well for ye, not a bad quartet of strikers, O'Neill, Crowe, Byrne and Fitzpatrick.

Yeah, apparently he was poor for the U21s but he wasn't really fit. Maybe he showed no sign of getting better.

Eitherway, I agree with you there, that's a great mix of strikers.

How old is he now? Did he play at all last season? Will he retire or does he have another year in him? Must be the last of our original promotion team (1988/89) still left playing!

He didn't play last season but was pretty regular for us the year before. He's actually training to become a physio. I think Shels are hopeing to hang onto him as a physio and are in talks with him at the moment.

Hunt signed a 4 year contract with Bohs last thursday

Mcnally and Morrison released

**�anna** · 22/11/2004, 4:23 PM

morrison would be a handy signing for the right wing. between himself and billy we wouldn't be doing too badly. he's also very experienced.

**�anna** · 22/11/2004, 5:08 PM

from the pats board

And a big maybe is Colly going to Cork

presume he means colm foley. that would be an excellent signing IMO

Shame(not for Waterford obviously), he would of been a great edition for you're title challenge- him, O'Flynn,Doyle,Fenn would be as good as if not better than Byrne,Crowe,Sara,Fitzpatrick-if he stay's.
I know I left out GO'C but I'm counting him as a midfielder.

No transfer news from us yet but we definately need some new players to have a hope of staying up.

**Maynard** · 22/11/2004, 8:42 PM

AFAIK O'Neill has gone to Shels and we will be getting one or two players on loan for next season, perhaps Rowe then? Shels certainly seem eager to score a few goals next year anyway, Nutsy pioneering the 4-2-4 formation methinks

Has anyone ever actually seen Jaun Sara ? Does he really exist ? I think he may be a relation of the Loch ness Monster and the Yetti.
