Transfer talk

**Terry** · 05/01/2007, 9:26 PM

Was told last week alright that Derek was holding off signing due to an issue with wages, didnt think it was true though?

No surprises with Mick, but the best of luck to him.

Heard GUFC are lining up a bid...

14:52 Wednesday January 10th 2007

David Beckham will leave Real Madrid in the summer, according to the club's sporting director Predrag Mijatovic.
Mijatovic told Sky Italia television that Real would not be renewing the player's contract.

The club had earlier indicated that it wanted to resolve the long-running Beckham contract issue one way or the other by the end of next week, and further talks were expected.

Beckham joined Real in July 2003 from Manchester United but he has failed to land a trophy at the Bernabeu.

Clubs from across Europe and the United States are believed to be monitoring Beckham's situation and may now make their move.

Beckham's representatives have been free to speak to other clubs from January 1.

Am ya

have you been taking your medication?

Anyway back on planet earth, Tony Cousins was saying about bringing in some more players. Does anyone know if he plans on having his full squad before the restart of training (the 22nd of Jan) or will he be adding a few players here and there until the end of the transfer window?

**Philly** · 10/01/2007, 10:44 PM

You are full time and are only starting training on the 22nd?!

**Terry** · 10/01/2007, 10:53 PM

some players are already doing there own training regimes, but the manager and co. are busy doing business (employing more players) so training will start when TC is ready, im sure. Its not as if the season is starting any time soon!!!

**gufct** · 10/01/2007, 10:59 PM

for the last number of years players have been given their own training regimes before the squad gets back together.We are about a fortnight later than last year but the team will be training twice daily plus going on a weeks training camp in spain.they will be playing upto 7 preseason games so they should be flying come march 9th,

I see Mark Leech has "retired" even though he's only about 22. I wonder if Tony could convince him to join United - he looked a very promising talent at Drogheda and then Bohs when he went on loan there.

**gufct** · 11/01/2007, 2:50 PM

was mentioned before when we signed Connor Gethins so I wouldnt be surprised. Whats his temperament like .

**damoGUFC** · 11/01/2007, 3:33 PM

It would be great if Tony went for him because I think from what i watched off him last year he would be a good signing, he definately scores goals.

why is he "retired"???

**Olander** · 11/01/2007, 4:22 PM

is there still a chance that we might sign conor gethins? he was one of our better performers last yewar

No
Galway Utd made 2 bids both turned down so the club and Tony moved on and started looking at other players to sign instead of gethins

pity as hes one player who wouldnt have any difficulty with the step up. Well from what I was told , he would love o go full time with GUFC so we only have to wait till next season, once we dont fall apart this season that is.

**Olander** · 15/01/2007, 4:08 PM

vinny Flaherty has gone over to Ipswich yesterday for a trial. hes told me GUFC were in touch also

**Terry** · 15/01/2007, 4:39 PM

Is he really good enough for Ipswich? I only seen him 3 or 4 times and he was excellent in them all, but I still think if he wants to develope better he should give GUFC a shot first before heading across to play in England (theres no way he'll be playing first team for years), do a kevin Doyle you could say, but thats my opinion.

**Conor H** · 15/01/2007, 5:05 PM

His head is so far up his arse you'd need surgery to remove it.

**Terry** · 15/01/2007, 5:06 PM

sounds like most good footballers so Conor !!!!

ya id agree with that Terry .

he has a number of options - a contract offer from gufc and a trial with ipswich

id say he'l give ipswich a go and maybe if that doesnt work out ya never no

**Conor H** · 15/01/2007, 10:17 PM

He's not good enough for LOI.

Ciano in a few years...possibly.

The standard in this league is much higher than the likes of Vinny realise.He's also to fond of the sauce.Any time i'm doing precautionary sweeps of the nightclubs he's there.
