Doubtful. I saw him play in Navan yesterday and I doubt he's good enough to be honest. Very quick and willing, but he lacks a little bit of quality and composure to make it at inter-county level. With the Bardens to comeback, Padraig Berry to be ahead of him and perhaps James Martin and Trevor Smullen to be involved he'll be so far down the pecking order come summer he'd either quit or be let go.

heard at the weekend that padraig moran (ex sligo athlone ) is training with us. apparently 38 people trained last week in longford. vinny perth is looking after trying to get dublin based players, aarron lookin after country players. american fellow training with us , two europeans training with us( think its polish).

interesting to see what sort of a squad it will be when it is announced?? brings back memories of matthews earliest days with the club when we didnt have much of a squad until the last day or two of preseason.

Didnt realise we were going to have an over 35's team too! Padraig Moran was passed it about 5 years ago, lets hope he is just trainin with us and nothin comes of it

The pre season friendlies should be very interesting. Surly we must have spotted 2 or 3 v. good players if there was 35 training

Just been informed that Ronan Frawley has signed up for ye.

Matthews is hunting Sulli and Deegan as well as Mooney obviously! Wouldnt be surprised if sulli went but Deegan is only 19 and still has alot to learn before he is ready to jump into a big side like Cork. Not only that but their midfield is class he wont get a look in! Would be better off staying with us for a year anyway at least he will get first team football that would improve him!!

I agree. As good as I think Deego is, Gamble, Healy and Farrelly would be ahead of him. At his age needs to be playing regular first-team football to fulfil his potential.

I often wondered if they were related. Remember Conor alright.

Great news about Shay!

on the eircom league section of foot.ie dave mooney is now on trial at blackburn rovers which is very bad news if he joins them

**Tallanted** · 23/01/2008, 6:18 PM

you have got your alan murphys mixed up marty.. Our ex one has signed a new deal at shels.. Try ex galway and derry alan murphy!

**Longfordian** · 24/01/2008, 2:25 AM

Yeah Aaron was speaking to him alright. He was interested in coming as he wants to stay part time as he has a job in Galway and would like to stay within driving distance. There is about 40 players training with us at the moment alright. It'll be interesting to see who ends up in the squads for the friendlies, we can't play them all!.

Dont really rate Ronan Frawley, but I reckon Alan Murphy could definitely score goals in the first division for us given the right service.

Last season he seemed very one paced. When he played centre half he seemed to drift out to the right and when on the right he seemed to drift infield. It was only when Brian McCarthy broke into the first team that he seemed to do better as he had someone with pace and height playing beside him
