QuoteBad signing.
Waste of money.
Waste of a squad number.
Waste of time.
Waste of skin.
Terrible signing, that is the worst signing City could have made.
Will have to wait to see if a good move yet...
Saying that Derek is best header of a ball in the league & could be handy for aerial bombardment games...

If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.
Great addition to the squad.
I hope Benno and Murray's partnership at the back isint interupted though. Derek needs to bide his time and maybe be used as a substitute if we're looking for a goal in the last 10 minutes in a game.
It's good to have the best Cork footballers involved with Cork City, and Derek is one of them.
I suppose he'll get the NUMBER 5 shirt that Napier left behind?

I'd imagine it's a part time contract, i read on another post that he has his job at the airport back and is working there. I think he's probably been brought in as cover, although i wouldn't be surprised to see Bennett shoved into midfield.
I'm happy to see the big man back at the cross anyway.
From the Irish Times Breaking News site:
Coughlan returns to Cork from Bohemians

Cathal Coughlan has re-signed for Cork City from Bohemians.
The 26-year-old previously spent six years playing for the Leesiders. He is the holder of a championship medal with Bohs.

Though a little blast of Loftholdingswood would certainly liven up a few games !!!

I wouldn't go that far!
I think he is a good addition to the squad, however, under no circumstances would I break up the Murray-Benno partnership to accomadate him.
He'll be handy to get the odd goal and he could be very useful tomorrow night, bring him on for the last 15 minutes to kick the sh!t out of Reynolds!
Champions!
welcome back derek!!
he is a good singing for city.
great signing welcome home derek

The question remains though, why have we brought in a player, who wasnt even willing to fight for his place in a dodgy Bohs defence?
Why are we happy with signing a player who stuck his fingers up at us 14 months ago?
We are we happy with a player who would rather be drinkin in the Brog talking rubbish about his manager a few days before a Champions League qualifier?
Will he still say the same about City fans?
Will he still say the same about certain players and officials?
You bet not, because he is a gutless wonder, a mercenary in the same mould of Al*n R*yn*lds.
Waste of money. Waste of typing.

Yeah. Heard that. Apparently sat on the bench when Northern Ireland played Spain. Can't remember his name.
As for Derek's return I do see himself and Murray playing together especially when City are short in midfield. I don't think Alan will be dropped but if the time came he would play in midfield rather than anyone else.

He wasn't in the squad for the CL games afaik.Originally posted by Gary

Hopefully not, but it wouldn't surprise me.Originally posted by Gary

He won't last long if he does. Maybe, he's learned to apprieciate the talents of Georgie, Flynny and Murray by now.Originally posted by Gary

Seriously Gary, whatever any of us think of him as a person, as a player he is a good addition to the squad. He had a great season at Bohs last year.
Champions!
the homeless messageboard is the srfcultras one
unfortunately they blocked anyone signing up for it this week so you cant actually look at anything there on the board unless u registered previous to last week

Think Derek was in the CL squad but at that stage had talked to Kenny and decided he wasn't playing for the club.
We all know Derek's strength and weaknesses but all we can do is wait to see where he will play, and how he will get on with City this time round.
So he gave us the finger. Billy Woods did the same.
He was class in his first spell with us, won us the cup if you care to cast your minds back. I expect him to be a first choice player within a few weeks.
how do you know that? just because he wasn't part of the managments plans doesn't mean he wasn't trying.Originally posted by Gary

i never saw him give anyone the finger, if you're talking about his contract, he negotiated quietly and did a lot less guffing in the papers than ollie did, slagging fans off before he left. he got a better offer, he was straight with the club, they didn't improve their offer, he left.Originally posted by Gary

say what exactly, he might give sh*t to someone with your opinion of him, he might be right toOriginally posted by Gary

he wouldn't have signed if he felt the set up hadn't changed since he left, all the players seem to be happier and more motivated now, i see no reason why derek should be differentOriginally posted by Gary

B*llsh*t. Whatever his faults, he always played fair with gunther and city when negotiating.Originally posted by Gary

Well if any of you have seen him play THIS season, you will see that he is not a patch on the player he was. Either that, and i reckon i am right here, is that the standard of the league has improved, leaving little nobodies like derek behind. Ive seen him play twice in the flesh this season and in both games was at fault for goals. i mean, remember Georges goal against Bohs this season, Derek missed the header, and then rather than track back, walked in the other direction. He did the same a few days later against Shams, but wasnt punished. Ive also seen him many times on eL weekly, and he is not a good player, if he was, he would be in the Bohs team.Originally posted by foureyes

As Colm pointed out a while ago, he said he wasnt in the CL squad, well then, why was he not bothered about it? A REAL pro would be very peed off, a pro would work his knackers off to make sure he wasnt ommitted again, not go to some late night boozer, to talk rubbish to drunken muppets like ourselves about how great he is.
I reckon he is coming here to walk into the team. If thats the case, well ill be very surprised. He is not good enough anymore. Maybe he was 5 yrs ago, but times are a changing for this league.
WASTE OF MONEY

as i already said i think its a waste of money that could be better spent on one of the young players or on keeping georgie. garys points are all valid and I agree with them, because i've heard it from the horses mouth, but as colm said dolan won't stand for it so hopefully its a thing of the past and now derek is here hopefully he'll do well.
