QuoteHow long has he left on his contract?Originally Posted by RockofGibraltar
According to todays mirror, Paul Doolin is looking to sign Shane Barrett from us. Hes given up on trying to sign Eamonn Zayed from Bray so hes going after Barrett. He would be a big loss imo
we are going up
How long has he left on his contract?
Ever get the feelin' you have been cheated?
1 year i think.
Ignore Max Power, he is no more, the future is Ron Burgundy. I'd love to be Ron Burgundy but they won't let me........
This would be terrible if we lost him IMO. I really think him and Mooney are going to strike it off together up front this year. Saw Barrett v Athlone and it looked as if the pace of old was back.
Hopefully this isn't true.
Shane had a disasterous Season last year with that shocking injury and missed a huge amount of football.I'd hate to see him leave.
Paul Doolin has tried to sign most of the players in the league and i'd doubt very much if matthews would let him go so i wouldn't read to much into it.

Hope he doesn't go, but tough one to call. Decimated season last season with no garantee's he'll perform this one so can't justify contract extension, but we know what he's capable of so don't want to lose him for nothing at the end of the season.
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
In the Sun today it said that Drogs tabled a €30,000 bid for him which De Town rejected. Also reckoned that Barrett did not want to go full time and was happy at De Town.
The truth fears no questions...
It's only when the tide goes out that you learn who's been swimming naked
30k
Probably would have taken that myself. Thats a lot of money.
Hopefully that 30k bid wont come back to haunt us like derrys 50k bid for lavine
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.
the bid for lavine was 27 000 EURO TO BE PRECISE!!!!!
If it had been €27 we'd have been wrong to turn it down!

At the time he was doing really well, but once he signed the long contract, he sat back on his ass, literally!!
How well he was playing is and was irrelevant (although I would debate the really well part). It was silly money for a player well in his 30's.
Still Barrett is a different situation in that at least he's a player with age still on his side...

Heard today that hes gone.Anyone confirm this?If its true and we got any kind of money for him,i think its a good decision.Hes never been the same since his injury in 2003,there have been many times since then that we would have been considering letting him go but were hesitant incase he got back his old form,he hasnt and im sick of waiting.The club need money at the moment much more then they need to be paying a player in the hope that he may get back the form that he had 2 and a half years ago.
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.
if he is gone he has signed from spain and the chances of alan lettindoolin near any of his players is small, 30k is good business considering mooney is in the wings.
Ignore Max Power, he is no more, the future is Ron Burgundy. I'd love to be Ron Burgundy but they won't let me........
If he is gone, we must sign a replacement ASAP. Not very many goals in the strikers we have left.
Respect where its due Bosco,but we can't just cast off the likes of Shane Barrett for an offer of 30 k or similar ....he's a serious contender imho who has been dogged with bad luck and is well worth percivering with because I think he will get there this Season................I'm putting my cards on the table here ...............

True he has been plagued with unfortunate injuries but thats football.The times he has been fit he has still showed no sign of regaining form.2 and a half years is along time waiting for a player and alot of money.Its not everyday that an offer of 30 k comes in for a town player,especially a player who isnt even a definite starter.We'd be taking a big gamble turning it down and could be left kicking ourselves.Dont get me wrong i'd love to see shane stay,i've a good feeling about him and mooney this season but its not the first time i've been optimistic about him but usually i've been left dissapointed.If he does go,i dont think its that important that we sign another player.Remember Liam Kelly?A panic signing made by alan when we had adrian murphy waiting for a chance.I could see the same happening if barret goes,signing some washed up player when we've the likes of paul kelly waiting for a chance.

barrett was out most of last season with horrific injury, to let him go would be ridiculuos. barrett has to be played upfront to get the best out of him. he was played out of position to often but i think this season he will play upfront and will shine there. if we let him go i think we would end up kicking ourselves
If god wanted us to play football in the clouds he would have put grass up there!
