    Gareth Cronin??

    We have just signed this guy.

    I believe he played for City. Any information on whether he is any good would be appreciated.

    Cheers.

    Gaz is not the player he used to be, but he was an outstanding player for City in his first stint with the club, and still played very well last season. He is an experienced, skillful player, a very decent guy and is a very good addition to your club.

    He was excellent in his first spell with us and is still quite a good player. He is a good signing for ye and should do well at Station Road.

    I think that thing with not shaking Alan Carey's hand when he was subbed and his performance in that game in general was the final nail in his coffin at City.

    Should be a good signing for Kildare though, I hope you lot come up as it would be an interesting away trip.
    I'm gonna take a blow torch to everyone who writes "any info on......." on the desks in the ucc library.

    Who's with me

    Gaz has been a great servant for the club and will, despite his recent disappointing form, be missed. He was also a very decent chap & I wish him all the best in this latest chapter in his career. Don't be surprised if you hear of him playing back to his old top form as I'm sure all the travelling of recent times took a huge toll on him and not having to be driving up & down to Cork will do wonders for him.

    Thumbs up

    In his first stint at City, he was like Denis Irwin, extremely reliable defender, and a great crosser of a ball too when going forward. Has been very poor since his return, but not living in cork is a huge disadvantage. I think all City fans wish him the best. Him and Ollie Cahill were a legend of a combination on the left for us.

    I think it is a great move for Gaz - his move into the working world after his graduation from UCC has certainly affected his game. It was a great pity that he left the status quo of City in the first place.

    Everyone is a winner here as far as I'm concerned,It's a good move for Gaz,he could really shine in the 1st div especially not havin to do all that travelling, Keely's no fool he knows a good plyr when he sees 1.His experience will be huge for Kildare,also we lighten our load a bit cos we've got a huge squad,and in fairness we have loadsa cover at the back,Good Luck Gaz hope to see you next year.
    It's all just a bunch of Tree-Hugging hippy crap.

    Exclamation .............

    Lads, to be fair .... who can stand up and say that Gaz got a fair run this time around. It has a good run at Shams and i was glad to see him back at City .... but he didn't get a fair run at it.

    Quality player ..... Great servant for City.
