Transfers 2019 season

**sbgawa** · 15/12/2018, 9:32 PM

I doubt rovers "overlooked" drennans availability they either have a better alternative lined up or don't want to go there. Having said that pats are looking strong for next year. It's going to be a competitive year next year

Would a move for McMillan have Rovers fans happy?

As much as I'd love to see Drennan playing for us again it's probably a bit too soon for him.

We heard that sort of stuff last year about Kevin Toner and Dan Cleary. Rovers got Ally Gilchrist.

**sbgawa** · 16/12/2018, 8:16 AM

Had signed gilchrist well before Cleary came available but don't let the facts worry you troll.
I guess dfc overlooked watts and mceneff ...grow up

Bray Wanderers sign Gabriel Sava.

You can roar 'troll' as often as you wish, but it still remains that Rovers not signing Drennan or any other player is a not automatically some master stroke of player judgement as you infer - the signing of Gilchirst is only one of many examples of this ineptitude.

On your whataboutry question of Dylan Watts, it is well known that Dundalk wished to sign him, but he opted to go to Tallaght.

**Jack B** · 16/12/2018, 10:49 AM

Bray announcing the Sava signing in Romanian is lovely stuff. As is the frankly appalling grammar of all their announcements in English.

Probably a welcome return to more innocently embarrassing GLITW stuff from them.

Would you ever do every single person on here a favour and shut the f**k up about Rovers and Bradley. You're just constantly talking a load of ****e and annoying everyone here with your nonsensical ravings.
Your own club have never been in a better position yet you hardly ever post about them without comparing them to rovers, it's sad, grow up.

From Glentoran you mean?

**sbgawa** · 16/12/2018, 5:31 PM

Shels are favourites to come up particularly with two weak teams coming down into the first division from last season. I don't think they will run away with it though. Getting promoted this season may be easier then the next as the two relegated teams from next year's premier will likely be stronger than limericks and bray. Miss out this year and it potentially gets harder

Still alot of transfer business for all FD clubs to resolve itself, I'm not convinced Shels should be favourites with a completely inexperienced manager. Conan Byrne and Ryan Brennan are very good signings but outside of them nothing that should have other FD teams worrying about them. Bray and Limerick are already assembling players stronger than I would have thought, Drogheda and Longford are looking ok and both should be challenging. If Shels can add a striker to hit 20 goals then maybe they will be considered favourites

I'll jump in here. There is absolutely no doubt DFC missed out on McEneff. You can't get every player you are after, and for a variety of reason, and he was one we missed out on. Smashing player.

Bray were mean to be amateur this season, though with even with a minimal FD budget a team like Bray could afford just Keegan, Barnett and Sava, if they sign another 4/5 players of their caliber then you could get worried about more missed wages mid-season

Swings and roundabouts when u miss out on one player the other club have spent money and the next player that comes available is more likely to sign for you as the other club have spent their budget.

Wouldn't say that about us to be honest, lost Duggan and Coleman, replaced both with junior lads. We are assembling 19s, with junior lads around them for experience mostly so far, several of those having been with the club before but not kept on in better times.

Well i for one forecasted bray would be fully amateur as I thought it was a case of joeys just taking over to protect their access to loi underage leagues. Happy to be wrong as the last thing tyhe league needs is a zombie club. Strange goings on at the underage there apparantly joeys are not allowing their under 12's represent bray in the under 13 national leagues next year..is that just a rumour or what? Any bray or joeys people know about it?
