**showgies** · 02/06/2005, 12:43 PM

According to Ocean FM Rovers have had a bid for Limavady Utd striker Paul Brown rejected.............Anybody know much about this chap?

16 BROWN, Paul Limavady United 13 - - - - - - - 13

http://www.irishpremierleague.com/premscorers.shtml

he was scored 13 goals in 13 appearances. he must have been injured to only have played that many games. he put in a transfer request it says in the paper. they finished 5th in the Prem up there so should be a good standard. The Bit O'Red Supporters Trust are contributing towards the signing. So hopefully the manager can get his man.

He should feel at home in Sligo cos their ground is also called The Showgrounds

Check out page 60 of the star today, seeminly rovers are going back with an improved offer and expect to get him.He asked to be placed on the transfer list when there last manager left

**sligoman** · 02/06/2005, 1:19 PM

Hopefully we can get him. Sounds like a good asset and there's no doubt in anyone's mind a striker is what we really need at the moment. He wont be able to sign until July though is'nt it?

So we're going to have this new Limavady lad, Sean Flannery, Paul McTiernan, Carlos Alvarez and Brian Tosh, not to mention Ciaran Foley and Rafael Cretaro who have both played up front for Rovers this season.
Doesn't hold out much hope of John Bellew making the senior team. I have a feeling if we let him go it could come back and bite us in the ass.

He wears # 10 for Limavady United, so I am just assuming that this is him pictured here, .......big lad for 25.

Looking at the link Gary put up he has all his goals n the league which would put hin on the top 10 of goalscorers.Not bad.Shouldnt take much time for him to adapt from a league similar to ours, lets hope we get him before other clubs get wind of this up North

**Redzer** · 02/06/2005, 2:28 PM

He was at the Finn Harps match on Tuesday evening in the showgrounds, So hopefully he liked what he saw.

**garykelly** · 02/06/2005, 2:32 PM

could be the next gilzean

**Rory H** · 02/06/2005, 2:37 PM

1 signing should be enough too.....im very happy with this squad

seeing the squad players on tuesday was nice....we have a squad of 28 players!!!

**Da Real Rover** · 02/06/2005, 3:02 PM

Looks like were targeting the right calibre of forward, not a second rated type. Any idea on what the transfer figure is??

**Rory H** · 02/06/2005, 3:03 PM

the want 5 figuers according to the star

will 00001 do:}

**Mitch Buchanon** · 02/06/2005, 3:18 PM

It's very rare a 1st division club would pay a transfer fee for a player. The board obviously have a lot of confidence in Connor. Things are looking good!

**Rory H** · 02/06/2005, 3:19 PM

we did it for o grady too i think

**Petmuller** · 02/06/2005, 4:24 PM

Lads, sorry to be the damp squib once more, but this transfer talk is nothing but that .... paper talk. Rovers don't have anything near the money this guy is going to cost in fact I'm hearing more doom stories are building behind the walls of the hallowed turf. The Chairman's article in the weekender should be noted.

Yeah it's him, if you hold your mouse over the pic it says Paul Brown.

No change there then

**1 9 2 8** · 02/06/2005, 5:11 PM

I heard wants to leave Limavady he will be out of contract in November so if Limavady don't release him in July he will join us on a bosman at the end of the year
