Andy Myler could do a job for us. What age is he? Alan Murphy would be worth taking a risk too. He didn't do much good in his return to crustyland, but Derry holds him in high regard.
I have scattered my dreams underneath your feet, tread carefully, cos it's my dreams you walk on.
Murphy was the only non full-time player at the club. He has a good job with EBS in town and was unwilling to give it up. He's had 2 very ordinary seasons by his own standards. We couldn't afford to be giving him another contract based on potential. Not sure if his heart is in it anymore.
John O'Hara, played only 3 games in The US this season so maybe he'd wanna come back..... but he's married to an American so maybe not

"he tries his best.... but I was a proper player".
Lads Shaun Williams of Drogheda is unlikely to be offered a new deal - he was on loan with dundalk this season. I doubt many of you have seen him in action but he is excellent
Perfect replacement for Hughes. He wants full time football but there are not too many options open to him - Galway tried to nab him before but he wasnt prepared to move west - i reckon the lure of full time football might persuade him to give sligo a go for a year - he is going to be a big player in years to come
Neil McCafferty released by Derry - might be worth a shot - perhaps never really given a proper chance to shine at derry under various managers - perhaps needs a slight attitude adjustment also though according to a few derry boys i know
Sean Kelly will be back from Longford - he was only on loan right? He is a decent player, a better defender than foy anyway from what ive seen of him at sligo and at longford
Colm James is another probably available from Longford and based in the right part of the country
I reckon derry will be releasing a few more also
Galway have released Cooke also - he too is more than capable and would be an addition to sligo
Im sure Cooke has a few english based options i up his sleeve also
The question - is there money for wages?
No, he was released by us and Longford signed him, not a loan deal.Originally Posted by DRDoc
You serious?Cooke is terrible in the Premier Division, even the Galway lads didn't rate him. If they're not good enough for Galway, they're certainly not good enough for us
Shaun Williams and Colm James might be good options alright. I've seen James a few times this season and he does look handy enough at times.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
kevin julien was it?found that out a couple of weeks back from my private spy. He knows who he is.
hes doing well to get the latest info on irish players all the way from Ghana!
he's not just in ghana, he's everywhere...he's omni-present!

Nonsensical Post of the Year.
mccafferty bad attitude, not welcome. sean kelly is NOT a better defender than foyzer!! why sign collie james when we could just get another hoofer like rossi sr for cheaper? cookie wouldn't get a game for abbey and i **** myself when i heard galway were keeping him when they got promoted

would like mark rossiter but won't happen
Sean Connor for Promotions officer maybe?
That might not be so far of the mark. An uncle of John's told me a few weeks ago that he was planning on comming home.

Hypothetically, would you give him back the starting keeper position if her re-signed?
not exactly sure what boyds contract situation is but have been told he definitely wont be back next season, not too fond of sligo apparently
A bit unfair on Brushy, but yeah probably. Brushy still needs another season to adapt. His Aerial ability is woeful and if John came back, we'd have one of the best in the league.
heard the same too..himself and Ventre are not at all impressed with Sligo and want to go back to England...if we sign players for their positions then really theyre no loss at all. Boyd lacks effort, and gives up too easy and Ventre isnt good enough for Rovers either.
James is a Galway reject too...as you said sligoman: "not good enough for Galway, not good enough for us" Id say Cousins let him go because he was fighting Ciaran Foley for a place,theyre both similiar players, and if thats the reason, then he certainly doesnt deserve a place at Rovers.
I'd love to see him between the sticks again. We would be spoiled for choice if it did happen. But I reckon he would not be automatic first choice.
As for Boyd and Ventre, good luck to them. Ventre would certainly cost us points. You like to see a bit of passion in a player, but some of his tackling is downright dangerous.

well we def need a new no.1 Brush is a good shot stopper and has done ok but I'm not fully confident in his ability.Maybe he should be given a chance to improve tho as last season was his first season as no.1 and he is young. I think the core of the team needs to be strengthened if possible - but if you think about it alot of positions need adding to - keeper, another centre half, left back, central midfielder and a striker or two. but we'll need to see about funds first. we've done very well to finish 6th but we need to add to maintain/improve position.
