    George O'Callaghan

    Interview in D'Echo tonight. Says he "wouldn't rule out a move home to Cork City" to resurrect his ailing career cross the pond.

    Hardly.

    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    For the uneduated

    George O Callaghan plays with Port Vale, he's 22, a midfielder and he was born in Cork. He's 6 foot 1 and has played Youths with the Republic National side

    from the port vale web-site
    "The tall Irish midfielder came successfully through the youth ranks and signed professional terms with the club in April 1998.

    He is a free-scoring midfielder who clocked up 15 goals in the 1998 youth team.

    He has played on the Republic of Ireland U18 squad and has a good touch and a fine sense of anticipation.

    He made his debut in the 2:1 victory over Wolves in September 1999. Last season he found himself out of favour until the Boxing Day trip to Wrexham when he started in the unaccustomed role of striker due to dire injury problems.

    Further opportunities were remote and at the end of the season he was placed on the transfer list."

    Accordig to dEcho today he has said he wants to come home. City are apparently 'leading' for his signature. He said he will be playing some Hurling with Whitechurch in the summer and all.

    Stoke(if they dont get promoted), Bournmouth and (surprise surprise) Carlisle are also interested.

    But from what i could gather, If he does sign it'll only be a very short term contract.

    Could be a good signing though.

    sounds like he could be a decent signing, and a few midfielders wouldn't go amiss what with our esteemed managers wondeful transfer policy.

    There's still a few English clubs after him so he would prove a fine signing

    FROM CITYNET:
    Report: City to sign George - Posted: 31.01.02
    A report in tonight's Evening Echo suggests that Cork City are on the verge of signing local boy George O'Callaghan in a loan move.

    23-year-old O'Callaghan, who currently plays for Port Vale in England, would join the Leesiders until the end of the summer in an effort to resurrect his career.

    Four English clubs - Stoke City, Luton Town, Bournemouth and Roddy Collins' Carlisle United have all expressed an interest in the Whitechurch man.

    The unsettled winger becomes a free agent at the end of the season.

    The board should get the cheque book out if he proves to be a hit. Put their money where their mouth is and show us some ambition......

    whats the word on this??? Is it happening?

    Letting go of players that are not up to scratch and replacing them with full pro's, I think that that is a good transfer policy.
    As I say, we're just young & a bit nieve.

    Rumour - de paper - PortVale

    George Callaghan is meant to be sigining for City for the rest of the season/summer, nothing is final on this as far as i have been told, Port Vale haven't paid his wages and things aren't going well for him, he wasn't left home for his brothers wedding etc.

    Talks are going on and check this out, Port Vale and City to go 50/50 on his wages that are outstanding, Yeah .... City are pickin' up the tab for another club, again, i am not fully sure on this

    Is there any truth to this. It was in the paper last week sometime aswell .... did anyone hear anything.

    Never Mind The Cost...

    In order to qualify for Europe again we need a midfield player who can do a Roy Keane like job and control the play. Don't start the whole Herrick thing again. IMO he tried to play the game at his own pace and slowed things down too much during home games.
    O'Callaghan could be the man for us.

    Any addition to the squad is welcome...particularly if they come in the capable midfielder category.
