He might be a white guy from a country with predominantly white people.

I actually wonder would that be Darren Meenan ?

Everyone doubted Cook this season, but he seems to have been planning this, he got players off the wage bill (Almeida,Doc etc..) got a bit of money out of Europe and was able to bring in players that have alreayd made us a stronger team.

Rob Turner - Has been impressive since joining, and seems to get closer every game to getting a goal, and I think its safe to say he dosent look 19

.

Matthew Blinkhorn - Arguably the pick of the bunch, He was the kind of signing we needed up front and has scored a quality goal to get him started, much like Matthew Judges GOTM against Shamrock Rovers 2 seasons ago, hes going to be a a class act for us.

Eoin Doyle -After just one game its obvious hes mor elively and effective than Cash, has scored a great goal for his debut and looks like hes going to be a great player for us this season, also adds much needed pace.

Joe Kendrick - It dosent take a genius to notice that hes a massive improvement to our left back, Joe is obviously a player who can go forward and defend, and he can definatly do both those things right, may well be one of the best signings we've had since we got promoted to the premier division.

Dean Marshall - Didn't see him against Shams, but from what i seen against pats, hes got brilliant potential and adds pace to the other wing, only 18 or 19 and looks very pormising.

Ger Rafter - Didnt see him for myself, but from what ive heard hes nottoo bad.

Martin Nicolas Camano - At the minute its a case of wait and see.

Michael McGrath - Galway fans said hes not been impressive, but he can hold his head up high and be very proud of tonights performance, looks like he will be more effective than Richie Ryan has been all season.

Seriously are you joking about Turner he has been absolutley terrible since joing , fair enough hes unfit , i think he has potential (just about ) but how can you say hes impressive ...

Blinkhorn looks decent but was throwing in alot of reckless challenges against st.pats lucky not to be sent off an aprt from the goal did nothing else but fae out of the game .. i do think he has potential but needs more games ..

Don't want to look like a grave robber but just read that all Corks players are now free agents.I wonder if Cookie will go for any of them!

Do we need many more players ? maybe a right midfielder and centre midfielder (Doyle and McGrath Cup-Tied and Richie Ryan injured for a good while apparently).

How has he been terrible ? has done nothing wrong since joining, takes his chances and is always coming closer to getting his first goal, I definatly wouldn't say hes been terrible. Give him time and see how does when hes fully match fit.

Not to mention we can't afford them...

I agree with the afford part.

We have signed 8 and let go 5 so squad wise were not up that many.If we stay injury free we might be alrite. 3 more on trial, I rather take three proven loi players than take the chance on 3 unknowns.
