rumours have it that drogs are about to sign a striker:eek: by the name of richie foran, I heard this today off one of the lads so dont know how reliable it is but it is a rumours thread after all.

If you guys had 200k+ in your bank account then I might believe it!

BTW rezerdrog, does anyone in Drogheda circles know what is Doolin planning on doing with Mark Leech? Wouldn't mind it at all if he ended permanently at Shels.

I am fairly sure he will never play for drogheda again. Doolo hates him. he would have gone at the start of the season but drogs were looking for 10k and no club would pay it.

KdjaCL

How many strikers do you need :eek:

Rogers a done deal to us 2 year deal. Prunty we in talks over a price for him prolly 10k.

Some spanish lad on trial who played in Wales last season.

Cunningham wants 6 grand a week off us.

Thornton wants 5, Cardiff accepting offer for Byrne, doubt he will move tho.

And O Neill didnt do his ligaments should be back in 2 weeks.

Anto Flood and Lee Roche have signed for Shelbourne.

They join Mark O'Brien, Stuart Malcolm and Marc McCulloch became Shels players from July 1st.

KdjaCL

Anto Flood and Lee Roche have signed for Shelbourne.

Crouch and slowpoke Also signing Rooney off us depending if O Neill out for season.


Pats confirm Rogers, Keane and Gibson http://www.stpatsfc.com/news.php?id=1688

All 3 trained today and signed after medicals, Keane is interesting was a promising player.

Awaiting clearance for
Welsh Premier career details for Jacob Mingorance

Llanelli AFC Exciting Spanish midfield general who was formerly with Malaga CF and made a big impact during his first two seasons in the Welsh Premier with Llanelli. Voted into the managers' dream team in both his seasons at Stebonheath Park, he was unable to agree a new deal for 2007/8 and left the club.

Totals 54 9 23

And Byrne has to decide his future himself after Risdale agress fee with Kerr, hopefully Cunningham and Thornton told to **** off.

Decision due to be made tomorrow on Shaun Williams. We got him on loan from the Drogs at the start of the season. Hes been Dundalks best player this year. Really hope those dirty Drogs don't take him back.

galwayrush

Looks like 3 decent signings for Galway united.:cool:
Former Scottish U-21, Shaun Fagan (23) signs from Motherwell Football Club where he made a total of 80 apperances in the Scottish Premier League.
Dutch striker Yeboah Mensah, a former U-19 International, signs from Dutch 3rd Division side Leonidas.
18 year old Daryl Robson signs from Middlesbrough FC

How many strikers do you need

well the only fit ones are Zayed, sami and fitz and it looks like fitzy days are numbered. its no use having 27 strikers if they are all injured.

Oh yeah.

Derry have a new boss.

http://rte.ie/sport/soccer/2007/0703/derrycity.html

Former Hearts manager John Robertson has been installed as the new boss of Derry City.

The 42-year-old, who won 16 caps for Scotland, has agreed terms with the Candystripes on a initial 18-month contract with the option of a further year.

Robertson is due to arive in Cork today to meet up with the squad ahead of their FAI League Cup quarter-final encounter with Cobh Ramblers.

He'll take charge of the side for the first time against Sligo at the Brandywell on Friday night.

Peter Hutton had been in charge of the Derry first-team on a caretaker basis after Pat Fenlon resigned.

City have struggled to replace Fenlon, with Pat Dolan being among those linked with the role, but in Robertson, they have finally found their man.

Looks like a decent appointment, and always nice to see some fresh blood in the league.

Ronan|Raven

God knows Seansouth, we have not much left to clear out. Prunty will leave id say.

Is Kev Doherty still there?

Would love him back in the red.

He is but he is injured.

i was talking to one of droghedas first team coaches last night and he doesnt expect any more signing in the window so that richie foran rumour was a load of bollox:o

Didn't Foran just recently sign for Southend anyway?

I expect Citys 'spending' to be at an end also.

If the bid was in any way serious you'd get Sammon.

How much is he reported to be getting at Cardiff ?

Those Pats signings seem decent enough , even Rogers is okay as a squad player........well kinda .

It seems Pats are taking more of a Shakhtar Donetsk route rather than a Chelsea type one and although they are willing to pay players good money they're not giving in to ridiculous demands(such as Byrne earning 260k a year , is that euro or sterling btw ?)

Joey Ndo off to Luton according to some weekend reports.

That bar at Inchicore can start turning a profit now.

Good move by the Drogs. Fitzpatrick can run fast but that's about the limit of his ability.

Pat's fans can start painting up those signs: "Run, Forrest, Run"

Also, Greg O'Halloran joined Galway from Derry City yesterday

Boggles the mind how a good player like Greg wasn't snapped up by one of the top four or five clubs tbh.

In fairness, Glen Fitz has become a pretty poor striker since those crazy days back in 2004, Drogs must be pissing themselves laughing with Pats taking him. Certainly a very strange signing by Pats

Yes, but to say runnning fast is all he is good at is ignorance.

And yes, it is a strange signing by Pats. Still so was Jamie Harris for us in 2003, yet he gave us an edge in the run-in that no-one else apart from Nutsy could see.

It's not ignorance at all. I've lost my voice too many times at United Park while screaming at Fitzy to tackle, to pass, to shoot ... to do something!

He did more in that tie against Lille than he did in his entire stay time at Drogheda.

Panic buy of the highest order, imment Quigley departure to Leeds if they can afford him and Adam Rooney said no to coming on loan to us.

Ndo could be available fairly soon for anyone,free.

This was in the Sun today

Leeds United and Stoke City are on the trail of UCD striker Connor Sammon. Sammon, 20, caught the eye of Leeds boss Dennis Wise when he watched UCD draw 2-2 with St. Pats in May. Wise has watched him twice since, most recently the 1-1 draw between the same teams Monday night, and is now ready to make a move for the striker.

But Leeds face stiff competition from Championship outfit Stoke City as their scouts have recommended him to manager Tony Pulis. Sammon made his UCD debut against Cork City in April 2005, just days before his 18th birthday and has netted 10 times in 37 appearances. He is out of contract at the end of the season but UCD would be due compensation as he is under the age of 23.

KdjacL you told me about two months ago that Leeds were after Sammon and it seems to be the case. He is an ok player but I don't think he would cut it over in England.

Any further word on Quigley because he is a player I would like to see over at Leeds?
