Only stating what several shams told me over the last couple of weeks. Personally I don't care either way, just glad he is staying with us, but obviously it upsets you that someone might actually have turned shams down so that's OK.
Wow, only 3 of the best left backs in the league at tallaght ? You lot must be romping away with the League. Maybe Leahy just didn't want to lose all those cup finals Bradser keeps telling us about

If you can genuinely say that Sean Kavanagh, Luke Byrne and Trevor Clarke aren't 3 of the best in the league you're either thick or deluded.
Now I know certain people here will need this spelling out for them so I think I'll get out in front of it. 3 of the best not the 3 best, there's a difference.
I'd put Massey , Jarvis, Kavanagh, Clarke all well ahead of Leahy.
Joey O Brien is also capable of playing there for us as is Luke Byrne, there is also a kid in the 19's who has featured in the first team squad a few times (name escapes me...very fast kid) who I know is rated highly. We would be verging on Corks appetite for full backs if we were in for Leahy (although I think it was right backs Cork were collecting )
Sorry, that wasn't clear. At the end of the 2017/2018 pre season, most people were happy with the signings we'd made. Many didn't work out at all, but it wasn't an obviously bad recruitment window at the time.
Did many fans grow very frustrated with Caulfield and the players this season? Yes, of course. I would say the majority did. We just went off a cliff from summer onwards. The cup semi win against Bohs kind of stemmed the tide a bit, and performances aicne then have been significantly more confident, even with weaker teams out. But the parts in between were horrendous.
Kavanagh was signed as a winger but given Clarke's injury it made sense to move him back to where he's played much of his senior football but he'll likely return there when Clarke is fit again. On Luke Byrne, I'm not sure. He's seemingly chronically injured but he's involved in coaching underage so maybe it works out better than paying another coach.
I can understand that as we were worried about how early Cork seemed to be wrapping up transfer business, days after the cup final and the signings kept on happening for a spell. We on the otherhand looked to be hamstrung by the change of ownership with few of the new signings getting a full preseason including Hoban due to injury. Some of the signings had a couple of weeks and may not have been registered in time for the start of the season. So Cork fans were quite confident while we were already dropping points like early 2017 and playing catchup Wasnt there the great Hoban v Cummins debate and Cork fans adamant that Cummins was the preferred signing! It could and probably should have been better for Cork over the season or at least kept the league alive beyond the last week in September. The draw to St Pats in Turners Cross seemed to turn sections of the crowd and kicked off the great Cork divide on Caulfield. Timely recovery for the cup semi replay and forthcoming cup final slog! Its in the second season that we see the best of our signings Michael Duffy being the best current example so maybe things could come good yet for the lads that joined Cork this season!!
I don't remember that. I wasn't convinced Cummins would be great, I thought 15 goals would be a good return for him. And to be fair he's done that. But we wouldn't afford Hoban last year. And he's blown past everyone's expectations to be fair to him.Wasnt there the great Hoban v Cummins debate and Cork fans adamant that Cummins was the preferred signing!
