Oh yeah. We're in trouble

.

Give Rob time, the season doesn't start til March, if we still have that squad then, then criticise!

**gustavo** · 16/12/2006, 3:26 PM

Thats stilll not a bad team , add maybe 5-6 places and it wont be too bad.

**Midgit** · 16/12/2006, 4:14 PM

Is Burns definatly gone?

**gustavo** · 16/12/2006, 4:33 PM

Hopefully Kelly will , it would be good to see some of the youth players step up to the plate. About Burns I dont think he has found another club yet but I would very much doubt if he would be still with us in March .

Going to need 5 exceptional signings to replace O'Hara, O'Grady, Burns,McNamara and McT and then we will have a similar squad than last season which wasn't good enough in the run in , then we will need a few more players to improve on last season , I think 7th will be good this year behind Derry,Cork,Shels,Drogheda,Pats, Bohs.

Why Pat's?

They weren't that good last season and it looks like they're going to lose their two best strikers to Motherwell soon...

**gustavo** · 16/12/2006, 5:26 PM

Presumably that even if they do lose their best two strikers we still have lost our goalkeeper , two centre backs , central midfielder , left winger and three strikers.

Only 4 of those 8 are major losses in my opinion-O'Grady, Mansaram, Burns(if gone) and O'Hara.

**gustavo** · 16/12/2006, 5:40 PM

Major losses or not the rest of those were all still part of the squad and will need replacing.

**sligoman** · 16/12/2006, 5:42 PM

I see Conor O'Grady has added himself to the PFAI available players list

. Although, I've heard he's still in talks with Rob in regards to a compromise.

On the up side, at least Rob has noticed Cretaro anyway:

Heard a strong rumour last night that Raf has re joined Sligo Rovers.

If true best of luck to him.A gent and a top player.He'll be one of the few not getting abuse up in the Showgrounds.

Not confirmed.

I think you have seriously missed the point here? I could have quoted a few manyoo or gunners fans but that would not have being a fair comparison would it and i would have been castigated for that as well?

PS - Leyton Orient have a redeveloped ground, no debt, promoted last season and beat nottingham forest 3 -1 at the w/e and they were all at the city ground to witness it - Forest would hammer rovers any day of the week - so i think you should not be so disparaging in your comments of other clubs just be because of a false sense of superiority born of ignorance.

Of course they would, we have only 6 players!!!

**Soper** · 18/12/2006, 9:23 PM

red away, I think it shows that you have been living in a different country for a while....

**avvenalaf** · 18/12/2006, 9:52 PM

Red Away, press the old irony button. It relieves angst.

Me neither...Dean Delaney is a player we should be enquiring about too. I've heard of that Fennelly guy too, the Cobh player...not sure if he's good or not but sticks out in my mind for some reason...possibly Football Manager 2006 though

**SligoBrewer** · 29/12/2006, 1:24 AM
