Nah he wasn’t signed up for next year,feel for the lad but the rules are the rules…..

Bohs and Shels interested in Sean Kavanagh. Towell has had discussions with Bohs and Pat's too apparently. Don't see how he'd fit in either of those squads though.

That Towell to Pat's has been doing the rounds for a good while but i can't see it at all , especially with the midfield options we have now , his age and the money he'd be looking for

Towell to Bohs makes so little sense it will probably happen he's probably the player who will look for the most money of any free agent and Bohs are cutting budgets and have a well stocked midfield after adding Morahan and already having Devoy, Clarke, Tierney, Bucko and James McManus. Add to that we don't know what's happening with Flores or McDonnell there are almost too many midfield options.

Yeah is a horrible issue to have in the modern world, not so long ago gambling issues could be helped a lot by just avoiding the bookies. But now the gambling advertisement is everywhere

Towell was a fringe player in one of the top squads in the league and was no more than a squad player from day one at Rovers, was underwheling considering his rep. He lost the main attribute he had, mobility, by hulking it in England. All things considered is he worth a deal somwehere, is he deluded to think he could command anything more than an average wage rather than top earner when his game time has been pretty limited at least for the last season. If he signed for Dundalk people wouldnt be jumping up and down over it, mainly based on concern about the cost but has his stock really fallen that much or has he a good year or 2 at the top level yet with say Shels, or even more mid table like Galway. He'd suit Caulfield as he'd run through walls and not stop even if it was the wrong wall...

Thanks but no thanks - Brendan Clarke has spoken about having a ‘no d!ckheads’ policy in the dressing room, not sure Towell would pass that test

Matty Smith has signed for Waterford, I never expected any of the other top 4 teams to sign him so out of the other teams I think that is the best move for him playing under Long who might be the only manager with a hope of getting some consistency and composure from him

I'd be nervous if Kavanagh and Towell ended up at Shels not the type of players we want both over 30 with Kavanagh always injured and Towell a decade past his best, would be looking for big money and his aforementioned personality that you could only see would clash at some point with Duff

[total hoofball]

I was hugely excited when I saw him first but after that he appeared very easy to shove off the ball and extremely lazy at times, maybe he knew he was fighting a lost cause.

It was the same at Shels Hakiki has exceptional technical ability and movement but struggles with end product and the physical side of the game he is in need of bulking up. If he gets proper game time at Sligo and develops he could be a top player in 2/3 years time

We will have a small budget and therefore squad so he will get plenty of game time. Here hoping he reaches his potential.

[2 Year Contract]

Cork sign Dutch keeper Tein Troost on loan from NAC Breda until July. A headline writers dream surname for a goalkeeper that is 'Clancy puts Troost in Tein' 'Will Cork’s new keeper be Troostworthy?'
