Surprised at that as he was reportedly going to sign new contract.

Paul Tierney, Irish U-21 International, who they had big hopes for.

**gustavo** · 27/05/2005, 11:46 AM

Paul Tierney also let go he was sposed to be a contender. does this mean now given to man united and kenny to newcastle ? lets hope so!

No surprise really,maybe Celtic could have a look at him or if he wants to drop a division to our boys

**drinkfeckarse** · 27/05/2005, 1:22 PM

Doubt he'd sign even if they wanted him. He's not that way inclined apparently.

**fosterdollar** · 27/05/2005, 1:26 PM

What height is PAddy Kenny? he looks a bit smallish. Just thinking aloud here, but i would have thought that would go against you if trying to cut in in the EPL

A bit like Kenny Dalglish then

**Colm55** · 27/05/2005, 1:55 PM

All those blunders cost both himself and Man U dearly, he can't really have too many complaints, Leaves a keeper spot open.. perhaps shoes for a bigger and better Irishman to fill .....

Shay is a proven international keeper, Miller was just starting to show what he could do as a player.

Relax, I think Celtic are going to sign Neimi from Southampton. Played Scottish football before and has a lot of time for Gordon Strachan.

**NeilMcD** · 27/05/2005, 2:24 PM

Given is a top class keeper and he would be great at any top club in any country. I think Man Utd is the perfect spot of him.

now that, I'd be more than happy with!! I'll believe it when I see it though.

**aido_b** · 27/05/2005, 3:03 PM

I think Carrol is ex - Wigan Athletic so he might head back to them ??!?! If not then Im sure that Drogheda will sign him, they seem to be signing anyone and everyone these days!

**NeilMcD** · 27/05/2005, 3:05 PM

Southampton keeper Antti Niemi's agent has claimed his client would move to Celtic after they appointed ex-Saints boss Gordon Strachan as their manager.
Richard Cody said Niemi, 32, is unsure of his future at St Mary's after Saints were relegated from the Premiership.

"He would talk to Gordon, absolutely, because of the immense respect he has for Gordon Strachan," said Cody.

"He enjoyed his time under Gordon at Southampton and he would be happy to talk to him and Celtic about a move."

Niemi joined Southampton in August 2002 from Hearts for �2m and was an important player as they reached the FA Cup final in 2003.

Was this the guy who used play in goal for Rangers and conceded 5 against Celtic in a game. I doubt if he'll be going to Celtic despite the Strachan connection.
