Don't know that.

Just seen this now. How can you say poor form from the club if you don't know what happened? And what would you like the club to say about it the lad had health issues and has had to retire from football I'd much prefer the club respect his privacy at what must have been an awful time for him than come out telling people about it so it was hardly swept under the carpet. From all I am told the club were very good with him during the whole thing.
Didn't mean to have a go at anyone, apologies if it came across that way. As you say I didn't know what happened, that's awful news. I didn't realise the injury was so severe and therefore I was wondering why no sign of the lad for the rest of the season. If it was the wishes of Seamus Sharkey for no statement to be made that is completely different. Thanks for the reply and again didn't mean to have a dig at anyone.
Back to training this week so should become clear soon enough what kinda team we are gonna have all the talk has been lads from the UK so we will see how quickly they come in if they do come in and what kind of standard they are. I would hope if there are good quality lads over having a look and people find out they don't go plastering it all over social media and stuff before anything is actually signed.
Sean Russell signs for an American club.
Nice move for young Russell. The fact that his father was manager wasn't ideal but he did ok for us over the last two seasons and I wish him well. More importantly any mention of these UK signings plus when are the lads starting pre season?
I'd no problem with Sean being there as a squad player but he needed to get away from his father for his own good. Happy that he has gotten himself a good move because he is a lovely fella.
Training starts this week at some stage.
From what I have seen on social media training seems to be starting tomorrow.
Mike Aherne said yesterday morning that we were looking at 2 centre forwards and a defender from the UK. One a former Dundalk player currently with Rochedale. I only caught the end of the discussion so not sure what was said about the other two signings.
Is that Donal McDermott? Looking at his stats on Wikipedia he seems to not have a great goal return per match for a forward.

He's not a forward, more a creative midfielder. Think he played on the wing for Dundalk.
I think he was released by Dundalk too after failing to impress.

Plays on wing for Rochdale too.
You're quite right: http://www.transfermarkt.com/donal-m...s/0?saison=ges
Left winger mostly. Assist stats don't exactly jump out, but wouldn't turn my nose up.

Do we need a winger?
As mentioned, he can slot in at CAM too.
Edit: Actually, it was just said he was a midfielder, but the link above shows he's played only a few less games at CAM than LW for Rochdale.

Who is to say he won't play striker for us? Dundalk signed him to play striker I believe and Russell used a supposed winger in Mulhall as a striker. From anyone I ask about him though I am told he would be a great signing including lads that played with him at Dundalk.
