New signings

**Royal rover** · 08/01/2007, 3:53 PM

whilst everyone apart from ourselves seems seems to be either linked or signing someone, we haven't done anything as yet not that i'm worried it was the same last season, as anyone heard anything either rumours or truth

Ill refer you to this thread!

But i'd say itll be a month maybe before we see any definite arrivals

**Red4Eva** · 09/01/2007, 12:14 AM

training starts on january 20th, i'd be shocked if rob hasn't signed 3 players by then and i'd say we'll have at least 1 or 2 by the end of this week

**The Stars** · 16/01/2007, 5:14 PM

Apparently we signed some foreign lad,was spotted at the showgrounds today,should hear about him and other names in the next few days

Supposed to be three lads on their way from Newcastle plus another two from Holland are already here and staying in the Radisson.

i'd be looking more along the lines of 11 or 12 myself- how they we would afford this i'll never know!!!!

**gustavo** · 17/01/2007, 4:46 PM

11-12 is a whole new team!
if this is a team we could put out tommorow
brush

peers
coleman
mckenzie
foy

faz
hughes
curran
raf
turner

choice

its not a bad team really but it would need maybe 5-6 players to strengthen it and 2-3 extra squad members

**feo123** · 17/01/2007, 7:10 PM

IMO if we are wanting to get into the top 4 we need about 22 or so players.....two people for every position! as in 2 right and left backs.....4 centtre backs....4 wingers....4 centre mids and 4 strikers and 2 keepers

**DonalE** · 17/01/2007, 9:31 PM

With two prospective recruits arriving to sample a taste of Sligo Rovers and training due to start tomorrow (Jan 20), Rovers new boss Rob McDonald, has plenty to keep him occupied but he is looking forward to getting into gear for 2007.

�We start training tomorrow and I�m very much looking forward to getting started. We meet for introductions at 11am and then at 1pm we will have our first training session.

�Two players have arrived in Sligo and once they clear their medical, I�m expecting that they will sign. I�m still in talks with a number of players to add to the squad, and as soon as we have some firm information, I�ll be letting the fans know.

�One familiar face who will be here is John O�Hara. Unfortunately, John is home from America following the death of his father, and he is asked to train with us so that he keeps sharp prior to his return to the US in a couple of weeks,� the manager explained.

Rovers first friendly is on 19 February against Athlone Town

Is Brian Cash still with us or has he left?
I thought he was still with the Rovers!!!

**gustavo** · 18/01/2007, 9:46 AM

Yeah but i doubt he'll be fit for the start of the season

**Midgit** · 18/01/2007, 9:52 AM

When he comes back it will be like a new signing!!!

**feo123** · 18/01/2007, 5:19 PM

yeah.....good player IMO

Rovers are supposed to have two players on Trial at the moment afik a 19 year old keeper & big midfielder, 4 new singings are supposed to be arriving today. Don�t know how reliable this is, apparently came from one of the players.

Heard this as well. Carlos the Bolivian (forget his second name) who was here a few seasons ago is supposed to be talking to the Farmer. Turner could be staying put unless Bohs up the ante.
