Hoggy stays

"HORGAN FOR USA
...Neal Horgan has opted to try his luck in the USA. Horgan, who is an American citizen, is going on trial with Denver club Colorado Rapids, and is taking part in their pre-season camp in Mexico.
...Richardson has been given a budget by City's new investors to acquire replacements, and he is hoping to sign three or four players from English clubs."

FFS .... thats all we need

**pete** · 11/02/2007, 4:31 PM

Hoggie been so consistent in recent years he will be a big loss. Could have done without this but nothing can be done...

**harry crumb** · 11/02/2007, 4:38 PM

Are we going to sign any players?

Players like Bennett and Horgan are hard to replace.

Yup, 3 gone from best defense of last 2 seasons.

Part of successful defence was playing same unit consistently.

"
Horgan, who is out of contract with City, however is at pains to emphasise that the decision to train with Rapids does not mean that he is definitely leaving Cork City.

“Nothing is decided,” said Horgan. “The next two weeks is all about them (Rapids) having a look at me and me having a look at them.

“The reason I am pursuing this is primarily because I want to further my legal education and want to eventually sit the American Bar Exams."

**Dodge** · 23/02/2007, 2:05 PM

If he signs, the league is definitely attainable.

No, boy, it's the way things should be done!
I think every "player" should reject, Pats via text.

Bit surprised he turned down their offer, given that his main reason for trying out was off the pitch. The offer must have been really bad if he was willing to pass up trying for the US bar.
