    Budget spent until July.

    If he doesn't wait and goes back playing Junior instead than he is smalltime and we don't want him anyway

    I'd have Robbie back in two seconds.

    The only reason I could think for him not being asked would be his fitness

    Kerley is apparently a real stickler for it.

    How's he looking these days??

    And the booming "taping of weddings" job that will probably occupy him most Friday and Saturday evenings, meaning he wouldn't have time to play anyway.

    Still a little on the heavy side but he can still turn defenders inside out and cause all sort of problems. Plus he still has his pace.

    The Heff never needed to play for money.

    We'll have to wait until July and see.

    Heffernan should be signed now, or truth be told, should have been signed ahead of Peter White. Or even better still, ahead of Manjor and a few others.......

    ya white is a better signing, he works hard for the team.....as for heffernan, don't get me started. would be a good signing if he was willing to put in the effort but from past performances with limerick it would be a gamble whether he would put it in.

    A half-interested Heffernan versus the combined 100% commitment of Manjor, Daly and another couple of the dregs combined... hmmm what a difficult choice...
    The ball is round and has many surprises.

    Would he even be half interested anymore though? Ahree that he's gopt more natural talent in his left thumb then some of our current crop, but considering Colm 'The Money' Heffernan usually charges for his services I'm not sure it would be worth it

    Well why wouldn't he be? The anti-Colm Heffernan agenda on this forum at times baffles me. A winger who can be a bit lazy when it comes to tracking back? Heaven forbid! A player who has accepted large pay packets at other clubs? Shameful! Colm Heffernan has made more of an effort to stay in the LOI than most ex-Limerick players who just slope off to play at a lower level again afterwards. If Colm Heffernan is interested in playing for Limerick38 or whatever we're going to settle on as our new name and if he's not pricing himself out of a contract (two important ifs I'll concede) then we should snap him up ASAP.

    He hasn't looked interested in playing LoI in quite a while, not just in his last season with us. I've no problem with him making big money from other clubs for a half hearted effort, but I'd rather he didn't inflict that on us yet again to be honest because the last time he pulled on a Limerick jersey he looked like Rossi with slightly more talent and a lot more money

    If I remember correctly, even Kevin Waters looked **** under that set up. It's called the 'Noel O'Connor Effect'. I'm told Heffernan was not pricing himself out of a deal but other lesser lights were signed before him thus eating up the budget, which is a strict one this season. I'd like to see a few released in the transfer window as the amount of players we have is not needed. I'd like to see Heff being the only new signing. Comparing Rossi to Heff is comical, and makes you wonder what some people are watching when they're at the games.....

    Rossi has talent, not as much as Heff, but he has talent, but both of them don't seem to have the desire anymore, therein lies the comparison

    Ross Cosgrave at his best is about half the player than Colm Heffernan is. Several of our current plodders are about half the player that Ross Cosgrave is. Anybody who doesn't think that even a disinterested Colm Heffernan would add to our lack of cutting edge is talking nonsense. And what if he actually made half an effort? If we're as wonderfully run as we're being told it wouldn't be like the mickey ouse setups that Heffernan was involved with at Athlone last year and Limerick the year before that (and even when practically the whole lot of them bar Austin O'Neill collapsed against Galway that season it was Heffernan who popped up to score) so he'll have more reason to be motivated.

    Nobody has offered any good reason that Colm Heffernan should not be appoached. We're told he's not pricing himself out of a move and there's at least four players in or around our first eleven who shouldn't be within a donkey's roar of senior ball, especially out wide... it's hardly a conumdrum!
