An American, another French lad and an Australian also on trial as is a young striker from Strabane.

Is Tagbo the lad that came on in midfield against us in the play off at the Markets Field. From what I saw he would struggle big time in the premier. Was extremely slow and easily beaten by a few of our players.

Tagbo only played the last 10 minutes or so in the play-off in Markets Field. He's not the most technically gifted footballer but he's strong as an ox and is a decent target-man and excellent at holding up the ball. In other words, he's a pure athlete.

Following a meeting held in Abbotstown today the FAI and Waterford United reached an amicable agreement re the financial standing between the two bodies and as a result team manager Roddy Collins can now push ahead and complete his panel of player's ahead of the new season. Fran Gavin the FAI Director of Competitions, Waterford United Chairman John O'Sullivan and Paul Cleary the Waterford United General Manager were the three people present at today's meeting. Paul Cleary described the outcome as ''highly productive and positive'' Roddy Collins will be speaking to a number of players during the coming day's and all signed player's will be unveiled on Wednesday evening in Carriganore. Time to be confirmed.

Good news indeed Frosty, hopefully Roddy brings in a few seasoned players now.

Decent footballer would question his attitude at times though.

Cobh have made two top signings in Evan and Cory Galvin. Possible dark horses now.

**4tothefloor** · 25/01/2016, 9:45 PM

Has Sam Oji signed for anyone yet?

**FrOsTy** · 25/01/2016, 9:46 PM

Robertson has said Peers is likely to be the only one left from last year's squad who may still be re-signed by Rovers so I'd imagine Alan Keane must be looking at signing for either Harps, Longford or maybe Galway as, like Brush, he is Sligo based so likely to suit him.

He hasn't signed, he was just brought over by some fans and invited to train. Marcelo Norton.

Very much doubt he's on our radar, cousins oldest signing in the window has been a 26 year old. Released the likes of salmon and rice, pat Sullivan retired. Average age has been brought down dramatically. Plus we already Have 2 right fulls and 4 centre halfs. We are done in the market as far as I can see.

Agree Lehane up top and Darren Murphy aswell Cobh putting together a decent young side.

**Town Legend** · 26/01/2016, 10:29 AM

No more signings coming into us. Signed our final player for this window yesterday.

Apparently he's signing for Ye but coming on loan to Waterford.

Fenlon doesn't think he's ready to play first team but thinks with some first team experience with us he could be ready for next season.

He contacted Roddy because Roddy has jobs lined up for players who need them.

Harps are pretty well stocked aswell 4 center halves,and both full back postions have regular starters with ample cover if required,can see Keane ending up at Galway .
