Would love to know where they got that article from..............

Its a puzzler. The article says its a LOI player, but the transfer window is closed and theres no way we'd be eligible for an emergency transfer. So, either its an unregistered LOI player (maybe playing MSL this season) or someone with LOI experience who has been playing abroad (season about to finish in England). I'd say that rules out Greg O'Halloran as he's registered at Shels.

Been scouring round some other forums and the one name that jumps out is Cathal Lordan, was released by City over the winter but has been playing for them in the Futsal. However, he doesn't quite fit the midfield/centre-half description in the article - I'd say he's more midfield/fullback. I remember he was been slagged on this forum when his name came up as a possible signing before Xmas. But we all know how some players just can't get on at City and maybe with some appreciation and fresh coaching we could see the best of him?

Any other ideas who it could be????

None.

I'm confused about this one too and concerned that infomation of such a nature can filter it's way to a media type before being placed on the official site if ya follow me. It shouldn't happen that way at all. I've had this before and it's bloody annoying to say the least.

Could all be speculative rubbish, i.e. someone thought they might have overhead Hendo say he'd like to sign someone, he told his buddy about it, who told the postman, who told his mother, etc, etc, until someone told the fella who posted up the article... Somehow doubt this came from any official source.

Yep. You're probably right there.

It's Greg O'Halloran.

How? The transfer window is closed.

Unless he was unattached when it closed(which he wasnt) you cant sign him

Ramblers now have an official Press Officer and nothing has been released through her so lets not make unsubstanciated assumptions R14

You cant have a loan deal outside of the transfer window either
