    There are plenty of midfielders and another one to be announced on Friday with new sponsorship deals.

    I think he may have become persona non grata since the training ground incident which left one of the younger members of the squad with a nasty injury. Plus he was always hankering after a move back to either Dublin or Cork. We were only a stop-gap measure for him. Not a bad player but we'll get by without him

    here here. We will win nothing with the bunch of kids we have and it is also likely we will still be paying some of this wages so he should be here in our midfield playing the ball on the ground. Our form towards the end of the year improved when he joined and tried to get us playing football.

    I thought O'Halloran did very well for us while he was here. He added a bit of badly needed bite in the middle and on the right and could play a bit.

    I hoped he might be a good influence off the park too with his reputation for being a bit of craic, but obviously since he wasn't prepared to drop his (wage) demands for a move to Cobh he had other agendas too.

    Anyway, for me he was definitley an influence in our improved form after he came in, so Good Luck to him.

    From Galwayunitedfc.net.
    “I believe that Greg O'Halloran was involved in a training ground accident with another player, who was injured and will be out for quite a while.”
    “Gone to Shels on loan.... vermin.”
    “If what I heard about him is true then he can **** off to Cork.”
    “Ya,Ditto. He can **** off”
    “He's a hormonal fool. Inconsistent too”
    “think a move to cobh will be best for him, as he wont live in galway full time,”

    6 posts from 5 different users. Unless I am missing something. Hardly "big time" stuff. About 2.5% of the people who are registered members there. If you think thats bad don't look at Cork forum about him. Popular bloke!
    Main problem is his refusal to move to Galway & his expressed desire to move to Cork or Dublin. The training ground "accident" was the final straw.

    Can't wait 'till press conference tomorrow. One lad, on other forum said he would love to see Rooney or Ronaldo play for GUFC (Big Time), & as that site now dictate transfer policy for TC.

    Can we take it then that the manager is going to put himself on the transfer list because of his refusal to move to Galway as well? And don't go giving me guff about the amuont of time he is here and blah de blah de blah, if he was fully committed to United, he'd move

    IMO Regardless of where they are based, most managers are on a virtual transfer list all the time anyway given that a poor run of games (insert whatever number you could tolerate yourself), or in the case of our League, their own frustrations with their current club set up, is enough to see them move up, move on or move out of the game anyway. Our manager said as much when he addressed supporters in Becketts towards the end of last year & I think he's right.

    Preaching to the converted there!
    While I think TC should have moved, it has to be a requirement of all players that they live in Galway. Glad to hear Gary Rogers is now a resident of our fine county, he had the club over a barrell last season & got away with not relocating. TC could live in Dublin & manage a Dublin club & still face a 2 hour commute to & from work every day. IMO no player could do that & perform to the best of his ability.

    I think Mr. O'Halloran had burnt all his boats at GUFC judging by the club statement here http://www.galwayunitedfc.ie/squad/g...sfer-news.html.

    Im not sure that people showing concern that our 2 main midfielders from last season are no longer at the club when they have not really been replaced by people of greater ability means that they are whinging or moaning?

    Gary Deegan looks Miles ahead of either Murphs (who had 2 very poor seasons by his previous standards) or O'Halloran and was MOM in Tonights match in Athlone.The new signing Ollie Fenn looked good in the 1st half but tired a bit in the 2nd half.

    The players are miles ahead of where we were this time last year and looked extremely lean and fit tonight.

    no, merely pointing out that we have many many young promising players at the club and perhaps if we were to sign another player it would be better to bring in someone with more experience instead of an academy drop out, á lá reilly, robson, treacy...

    it is a tough, physical league and young talented players don't always succeed, those that do take time to adjust.
