Transfer Rumours

[Tenderloins]

Maher would be a good signing....
Maher, Shelley, Webb... 3 of the title winning Bohs back four under Collins?

[OneRedArmy]

Damian Brennan to Shels..Rico to Derry as manager! :)

Any basis for this, or did you just link one unsettled manager with an unsettled club?

Wouldn't surprise me all the same.

Shaun Maher has apparently signed for the Drogs today.

If this is true the question is who loses out?

Two centre half positions - three players to fill them (Maher,Gartland,Gavin)

Could suppose play 3-5-2 with Shelly and Webb as wing backs.

That would be a little too attacking for Doolin though perhaps?

Kilduff (of Kilcock) has joined Kildare County FC on loan from Shamrock Rovers for the season. Confirmed on KCFC site.

[onephillyhughes]

Shiels is ****e. Typical first division player. Runs his arse off. Tough in the tackle. Terrible passer. Zero skill.

Another Robbie Dunne? ffs

He said last night he was offered the job last year when Kenny left but turned it down. Said nothing about this year though

Alvin Rouse,Mark McCulloch & Mark Leech confirmed at tonights forum.

Alvin Rouse,Mark McCulloch & Mark Leech confirmed at tonights forum.

I take it that Mark McCulloch & Mark Leech are different players to the Mark McCullock and Mark Leech announced as signed by Shels?

[gufct]

they havent been signed by shels see http://www.shelbournefc.ie/news.php?id=792

[CollegeTillIDie]

On the Rovers site it says he's from Kilcock but elsewhere on the site he's from Celbridge. Confusing enough before Maynooth was mentioned..

His relation ( not sure if she's a sister or cousin) Emma is an Irish soccer international from a few years ago then. I think she also plays GAA and was in the recent Underdogs squad....

Waters, Purcell and McCarthy to Waterford is the latest rumour round Limerick

Any Blahs care to comment??

[stann]

We could do with another centre half, and maybe will have a more pressing need than that in the coming days, though the priority in defence must still be a left-back.
A left sided midfielder would also be handy, as the options at centre-mid might be even more limited soon too, and our new boy Foley might be earmarked for there.
The first two seem plausible, certainly.
Derek McCarthy I don't know about, but with 4 forwards in Vinnie Sullivan, Willie John Kiely, Karl Bermingham and David Grincell I would have thought that one less likely?

Am I right thinking Purcell did really well down there before??

At this level, Waters would easily do a job centre mid aswell.

I'd say he's yours if you want him

As would I. Ye had him down there before and he did naff all.

[stann]

Yeah he did, and though I recall he was a bit short of pace it'd be great to have him back, and he'd doubtless go straight into the team. What I meant by 'we could do with another' is that we have three centre-halves in the squad in Kenny Browne, David Breen and John Hayes, but may yet lose one of those. Guess which one!
Same in the middle of the park where Mul is not yet decided what he wants to do, and so our left sided signing might end up (or always have been intended for) the middle.

[6yardpunisha]

Greg wouldn't sign for Cobh as they are not professional. Pretty sure of that. The draw of going closer to home though would tempt him. He would demand fairly hefty wages and Im not sure if Cobh would be willing to spend that on a player considering that they only paid players in Tayto and Coke last season.

Sam, you forgot the mars bars were included this year

[scottish_bohs]

Leon MacSweeny from Cork to Bohs - Mirror

[Risteard]

Ya, I'd say that's likely especially as Bohs impression is got from the match we played against them.
He'll probably use the Bohs offer as leverage at least.

Cork not reckon he is worth a contract?

What's your opinion of him Risteard?

[micls]

He's been offered one but turned it down. Our contracts are now going for lower basic wages(still higher that what hes on) and big performance bonuses to work around the wage cap.

The rumour is it potentially doubles his wages.

Negotiations ongoing.

Would like to see him stay as he is promising but not worth breaking the bank over. The game against ye was by far his best game. Has been excellent in 3 games and good in others.

Could see him being a very good player for us next season if he stays but if he goes I wont be gutted (once he's replaced of course).

I wouldnt be surprised if ye offered him more based solely on the semi performance given its Sean Connor
