Signings

**Redzer** · 26/07/2007, 12:17 PM

It's great that Singh will have some company now on the sick bench. Any more long term injured players, we know where to send them

I understand we were all ready to sign Alan Moore but he picked up an injury in training last Friday. Cook would not chance risking money on an injured player, unlike you know who.

afaik no sighings yet. the lad from derby is still here but cookie has not assessed him fully, i hear that there is 2 more players ariving tomorrow but will have to be looked at. time is very tight if we dont get anybody else from this pick we will have to hope for the best as the season goes along. a cup run would be very good financially for the club as we must remember that a lot of the players will be out of contract at end of season ie faz judge hughes foy etc and new contracts will have to be offered. so we must bear in mind next season as well. its a process of team building better to wait with patients tha to sign for the sake of it.
but with a bit of look cookie might unearth a gem with the few trialists that are here.

The surface in the Showgies prob doesn't do us much favours, but I take some positives out of the style Cook has us playing.

tbh i think we are going overboard with the praise of our passng football. we do it in spurts, cork is the only game that i can remember where we did it consistently. we hoofed it a lot in some of our games especially bray away

Bray away Hughes scored one of the better goals scored this season which was the result of a one touch passing movement involving 5 players.

Sexy football!

I hear what your saying but we are trying to pass the ball, the surface in the Showgies probably doesn't suit but we're trying...

O'Donnell who was from Donegal and in the army and
McCann who came from Linfield?

theres a stephen odonnel playing for fanad utd at the moment so that could be the one who is going to bohs

**gustavo** · 29/07/2007, 10:21 AM

The Stephen O'Donnell going to Bohs is the former Arsenal and Falkirk one

Article in the Sun yesterday covering Bohs announcement of four new signings. the following two quotes from the article may be of interest

"I'm delighted to get it over and done with and i can't wait to get playing. when the gaffer left I made it clear I wanted to go as well and Sligo knew where I was coming from." - Chris Turner

"We needed to strenghten as we had gone a bit stale. I went to the board and thankfully they backed my judgement, unlike some of the clubs I have been at before." - Sean Connor

CHESTER City have received enquiries about transfer listed striker Lee Steele from Blue Square National club Northwich Victoria and League of Ireland outfit Sligo Rovers.

Steele, 30, was listed after being told that he didn’t figure in City manager Bobby Williamson’s future plans.

Chester chairman Stephen Vaughan said: “The decision as to where he goes is basically up to the player and where he sees his future.”

Steele signed for City at the beginning of the year from Leyton Orient and previously played for Shrewsbury Town.

Sligo, managed by former Southport boss Paul Cook, currently lies in sixth position in the Premier Division in Ireland.
