Arkins in Pats' Squad

**pete** · 22/02/2007, 10:53 AM

Pats sign old man Arkins eh...

To think Shels fans criticised us for signing Healy & Farrelly...

O'Neill, I'd take as cover.
Guy, Arkins, Paisley, you're welcome to them!

By the way, who gave Colin Healy a 4 year contract?

The players we've brought in are secondary to the players we've managed to keep. Namely, Devine, Murray, Gamble, O'Donovan, O'Flynn, Woods, O'Brien, Softic and hopefully Hoggy.

Apologies about the four year contract, meant 2 obviously - still way too long.

Can't believe that you can emphasise the importance of Softic and O'Brien in the same post you dismiss Ndo in the manner you did.

Players who've come through our youth team and featured regularly for our senior team will always rank higher than a flowery player like Ndo.

Your right, never look to improve your squad from the outside, that's the way forward.

How many underage/youth teams do Cork City FC have as a matter of interest?

Have to say like Farrelly I enjoyed Arkins last game for the minnows

KOH

We know what we've got with those lads. You're hoping that Ndo will manage to make more than the odd contribution.

Officially, we've got an U21 and an U18 squad.

In case you forgot we actually know what to expect given that he has played for us previously. Oh yeah...he's also the current player of the year.

I'd take Ollie Cahill over him anyday. The Real Player of the Year!

**Bluebeard** · 22/02/2007, 1:31 PM

Chr!st - Shels are hardly gone three days and Pats have slipped into their place on the Cork "jibe list".

Newbies like you wouldn't remember the the good old days, when Internet forums weren't moderated and Pats v City was on a par with Rovers v Bohs. The slagging was top drawer!
Shels didn't even feature, except for one unnamed guy, who appeared in a photo at an Ireland game in Amsterdam, 7 years ago.

Back when you were a Bohs fan?

I lived in D8 before I lived in D7 so I used to go to Pats, whenever I couldn't get to see City.

Can't wait! We haven't had much banter with your lot since you became so rubbish, after you won the Pat Dolan Imaginary League.
Will be good to get the old rivalry going again.

BTW agree with the Cahill comment.

He left you didn't he? Like all the good ones...

Peadar, Pats fans have been quiet recently as we've been ****. But now that the HUMONGOUS club is back and abuot to win all five trophies this year, the fans are back piping up.

**JW.** · 22/02/2007, 2:16 PM

I'd have thought Vinny Arkins would've been finished but there you are.
Strikers seem thin on the ground but Monaghan have a bloke (pic taken from a recent friendly against us) who's something other than that and probably available for the right money:

Pats are only potential back on top in Dublin by default. Roveres coming back up from the wilderness & Shels lost entire squad. Giuve Bohs a could of years to get a proper team and manager & Pats will be back down as dublin minnows.

Last 10 games has 7 wins, 1 draw & 2 defeats against Supersaints means we fairly confident.
