According to today's Independent, Raf has been offered a deal by Pats, but Cook is confident he'll stay. It goes on to say that we're close to agreeing deals with Owen Morrison and Parkhouse.
Jesus i hope Raf stays, would be gutted if he went up to Dublin. As you seen this year you never know whats around the corner for clubs.
SRFC1928 great post![]()
Come now Jeebus - you said yourself that Gurbanov is over-rated!
Ya - ever since Gurbanov hooked up with that WAG from down the market with the fruit stall he has gone off the boil

The money Faz will supposedly be getting there, I'd be laughing if I was him too...
Is there any update on Coleman since he was linked to Celtic ?.
Doe's anyone think we should try and sign Davin O' Neill from Cobh ? he's a very good striker, he scored 8 goals for Cobh this season and i'm sure he'd love more premier league football.
Coleman for Ireland
Im not on here to wind anyone up lads but are ye living in the real world. Rumors coming out of all clubs is cutbacks of anything between 30% to 50% minimum and ye are talking of signing 5 to 6 players.
We have slashed our budget going nearly completely part time with contract based on appearence & big bonuses with very small basic wages. We reckon we could lose 5/6 players and be mainly locally based.
How are Sligo going to finance the expenditure ye are talking about here.We already have 3 sponsorship deals done plus a very exciting teamwear deal with Elverys and are selling season tickets already at much reduced prices http://www.galwayunitedfc.ie/tickets...ckets-09.htmlh .
We also hope to finalise Jay O'Sheas transfer to Derby this week but are still only going to have a playing Budget of less than €350k for this season.
We are the Galway Boys Stand up and make some noise"
Have to say I would agree with this. We would be doing well to hold on to the spine of our team. The notion of sustaining anything more than this in terms of getting in some "big names" and paying big wages is unrealistic. Does European competition really yield much cash for a LoI club?
Just have to hope that fringe players can step up to the plate when needed next season with the extra games in store.And hope that Cook stays on to consolidate his reputation. That, with a bit of luck could see us challenge for fourth spot again and hopefully a decent cup run.
We will
When have Rovers ever signed "big name players" Its not our style
Depends
The board will not be spending money thats not there.
the budget altough not finalised seems decent in the current climate
We may lose 1 or 2 players but hopefully hold onto the rest!!
We would hope to have a better income this year than last year and so would do well to bring in 2 or 3 QUALITY additions to the squad, no major extra outlay and finish the season with 3 but probably 2 trophies (i reckon we will have to make do with winning the league and the setanta cup as i doubt we will go all the way in the EUROPA cup but quarters at least) and in a financial break even situation!
Liam Burns and a few other bohs players are free agents at the moment as bohs unlikely to be in a position to offer new contracts , would be a good signing as we lack cover for Mauro and Peers.
If Drog's go to the wall will we be left short of money we're owed for Faz?
Whats that comin' over the hill
It's the Monster,
The Cookie Monster!
