    15k a week is serious outlay- at least 50% more than us before our imminent cutbacks. Like I said before, Leeson and co seem to be doing a fantastic job- Galway's commercial income must be right up there.

    Good player but with the second best defensive record in the division & Billy, Ronan, Fran, Nigel, Alan Keane & now Liam McKenna all capable of playing centre half IMO a left back, & a centre midfield, would have been much more of a priority. Also very short of decent cover for Barry & Slab. But with 3 wins & 3 draws out of seven league games who can argue with his decisions. Who will be the big loser? Billy & Ronan have been our 2 best players all season & now it looks like one of them will get the chop as Tony Cousins said the other day "I am not interested in bringing in a player who is just going to challenge for a position."
    Good 2 hear Rustler is back hope he regains his old magic.

    Good player to get, but hopefully we can also attract a couple of 25-27 year olds who can stay with the team for extended periods and not just 30-year olds whose best days are alreasy past them. Best of luck to him though. If we can get two more players, and with Cretaro on the way back, there is no logical reason why we can't get out of this league (as Champions even).

    I personnally think that Nigel Keady could be the one missing out due to the fact that Ronan Frawleys natural position is at right back. Saying this our back line would look like this:

    Frawley...Clery...Charles...Keane

    Very strong defence IMO

    I have to disagree with

    you Terry Ronan was very poor at right back for us but has been outstanding at centre half as has Billy who is playing as well now as he ever was.

    We badly need a strong central midfielder and a goalscorer now and I think our squad strength will see us pushing for promotion from now on.

    Mick O'Donnell of Dublin City is mentioned as a possible target in todays Sun.

    Any info on Mick O'Donnell ? not up to dat eon any of the dublin city lads!

    Also seen elsewhere we have been linked with Gethins from harps, that would be the striker we are looking for also.

    Mick O'Donnell was a UCD for about 6 years. A central/left sided (I think) midfielder. Very experienced and reliable. Would be another good signing.
    Conor Gethins would be another decent signing too, I think he was injured for quite a bit of this season but is back playing now.

    Mick O'Donnell is a decent player who was not out of place in the Premier Division. He is also versatile and can play at the back as well as up front. Let's remember that our present left-back isn't even left-footed.

    so that is our defence strengthened, left back probably sorted. Now whats left? another striking option for definite, and then maybe an attacking minded midfielder maybe?

    ya but that was

    because philip reilly was suspended Johnny.The Conor Gethins one is a strange one if he wont accept the wage cut in harps he would be on a free and I know he is highly rated up there.

    Fair enough Tommy. I think Alan's a decent player anyway but balance is important. Is Gethins still injured?

    Great signing for Galway but i'm just shocked that we actually let him go, what even makes it worse is that it was for FREE.

    We don't have a replacement any were near as good as him, Can't see the logic behind it unless we have lined up someone better ? but who ? We won't spend money on players so can't see it happening. Our season has gone from bad to worse......

    Tough break BrayUnknowns - our conflicting situations goes to show that you can enjoy doing well in Division 1 more than suffering in the Premier. I haven't seen Charles play in ages - is he still a decent player?

    there is a lot of people saying that the clubs already know who will be in the premiership next season. How do you rate brays chances of staying up? Are the rats leaving already?
