Anyways, I think they have added new names but haven't removed old ones. Tomi Saarelma is on the list, for example.
What is the point in Bray Wanderers offering 32 year old Alan Byrne a 2 year contract?

Mick Cooke obviously think he's going to do a Stephen Kenny next season with this bray squad!!
I think we had good players last season and I would like to see them being the priority before signing other clubs players- Douglas, Barker, McNally, Sullivan, McGlynn, Hanlon, McEvoy
Seems we look set to lose other good players - Cassidy and Giggles
Having said that Daly is a good signing
Just ask Quigs!Absolute crazy stuff, unless they have completed the ground swap deal, I have no idea where the money is coming from, as rumour has it the ESB were pulling the plug and several bus companies are knocking on the door, 2 year deals hope they get them in writing!
Latest rumour on the Pats forum is Kurtis Byrne coming to us
Here on a technicality.
He's down the pecking order with Dundalk. I suspect that the only reason he was kept on this season was for cover for McMillan before Maguire and Killduff arrived.
Kurtis worked well with Hoban last year, but had very little impact this year. He didn't actually score a league goal in 14 sub appearances, bu that was usually for 10 minutes or less. He'll be fondly remembered for 2013 and 2014 and for a goal at Hajduk Split.
Pats supposedly have offered money to Dinny Corcoran, he has refused a contract so with Bohs due to more wages with Pats.
Long meet with Kurtis Byrne last week due to Corcoran turning Bohs down.
There is absolutely no point. No benefit. I cannot get my head around it. As you say he is 32, he is a bad player. No benefit to bray of offering a 2 year deal, even if he has a great season no one bar the bottom 4 clubs will want to sign him anyway. And if bray all of a sudden "have money" then surely after consolidating in 2016 they would look to sign good players and progress and not have to keep the likes of Alan Byrne and Mick Daly etc. Really cant understand it!! The risks really do outweigh the any benefits (of which I cant think of one, bar preventing them having to fight with say a Longford for his signature next year, so what). Imagine he gets career ending injury in pre season, Bray have to pay circa 40k for zero benefit. and yes he is on good money as well !!
and of course the "Licensing" process won't have any issue with it at all no doubt
Just for speculation sake, I've heard Gavin Holohan too.
Ryan McEvoy has joined an AUL club, there was an interview with him in one of the papers about a week ago. Some Premier C side or something. Cant remember the name.
Mark Timlin heading to Bohs or Pats, Patrick McEleney done well at peterborough and could be heading there, Stephen Dooley heading to Cork
Pats interested in Sam Oji.
Finished the season well for us but was a liability for the most part. Didn't materialise into the signing we figured he might have been when he initially joined. One of our highest earners too so wouldn't be at all surprised to see him depart.
Ryan McBride signs new deal with Derry City
I'd be surprised if we go for another centre half, it looks like we have McGuinness, McEleney, Hoare and Desmond already signed up.
Timlin apparently nearly a done deal to us.
Here on a technicality.
I think Kurtis Byrne would do a decent job for either Pats or Bohs. I can't see him getting a contract for 2016 with Dundalk, he probably needs to move anyway to get back to playing.
Bohs fans, what happened to Marc Griffin, he hasn't featured in a good while, was he injured or just not considered? Always thought he could have had a decent career and he had potential, but his attitude was wrong.

#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
Griffin done either his knee or ankle ligaments early into the season. Thats why he never featured.
He features regularly in Dundalk in the nightclubs and fighting up the town regularly on a weekend. Will never make it far with his attitude
UCD to sign striker Georgie Kelly from Derry. He's heading off to college there.
