Any Rumours on players

[Bray Head]

Was talking to the club and they will make an announcement when the majority of the squad is signed up, won't be releasing it in drips and drabs. Hopefully within the next week or so.

I can't understand the reasoning behind this. The club's PR is terrible. I would have thought releasing info when players signed would boost the fans hopes and also lead to season tickets been sold.

The club has never had to do this in previous seasons so why this year?
I'd say no one has been signed for the club as they are all waiting to see if the club gets a license.
The February deadline approaches and there are a lot of questions to answer before they get a licence.

I've said that too in the past, if a players signs then release the news is the way i look at it. But in saying that, this is the way they do things and nout much we can do about it They have been burned in the past with players saying we'll sign, the club releasing a press statement and then the player not signing so i suppose they just want to cover themselves and do it all at once when they know the majority of the squad... Doesn't make things easy for the fans though.

[rathdrumgull]

Has Adam Mitchell not resigned ?

[Roo69]

Yeah Dodge, AFAIK he has... Any info on him?

On going talks with Mitch from what i hear. Fingers crossed he signs on again.

Devo was in the paper saying a few lads are coming on trial and they are also in talks with a few other players at the moment too so there will be more players coming in before the season starts.

Think this is the same guy he had a few years ago as a teenager. We have 2 keepers already signed up for the 1st team squad so would be surprised if we signed another one considering we need to add defenders to the squad first.

[naoise kennedy]

Great to have Shane o neill and Mitch back again..

Yeah great news, especially on Mitch. Hopefully Shane can recapture his form from a few seasons ago

[Dodge]

Yeah Dodge, AFAIK he has... Any info on him?

Sorry missed this. Eoin's a right back. Played for Ireland schools for the past couple of years. never played in the leageu for us but played twice in the Leinster Senior Cup last year. He initally signed for the under 19s in 2011.

Small and quick, he has the typical full back build. He's still only 18 (19 in July). He was with Belvedere before that

Is Paul Malone the same player who was with Wexford Youths?

[Roo69]

Not to sure, Played for us the other night, looked quite young, plays centre half. Not the tallest of lads but looks very comfortable with the ball at his feet.

[benbulben]

Looks a decent squad now -first four games in League look tough-Shel will be up for it and Sligo away will tell us if we are up for it!
What time is the Wexford game ?
