This is brilliant.

CSKA signed these two lads for over €8.5 million. Crazy stuff.

"Limerick FC are delighted to announce the arrival of two CSKA Moscow players to Ireland for trials with Limerick FC. The players were welcomed to Shannon Airport on Sunday evening by Pat O Sullivan. Both are expected to play some part of the game with Sligo Rovers in Terryland Park, Galway, on Monday 13 Feb at 7.45 and to train with the team on Wednesday.

Dawid Janczyk (on the right) is a 24 year old Polish International striker who has been with CSKA Moscow since 2007

Lubos Kaluda (on the left) is a 24 year old Czech International midfielder and has been with CSKA Moscow since 2008

Both players were on loan last season to PFC Oleksandriya (Ukraine)"

Can't wait til they see Jackman Park. :pac:

CiaranC · 13-02-2012 11:01am

Suprised Sligo havent signed these, seem to be well within the budget

born2bwild · 13-02-2012 11:06am

Maybe the CAB have started reinvesting seized assets into the community?

I can see it now: A convoy of hiaces full of lead - pipe wielding McCarthy - Dundons pulling up at Jackman Park looking for some payback.

What the funk is going on in Limerick?

dreamers75 · 13-02-2012 11:54am

Suppose it be rude not to go to the pub at 11am on a monday.

Pinturicchio · 13-02-2012 12:47pm

Can anyone confirm the kick off time for Sligo vs Limerick in Terryland today?

Edit: Seems to be 7.45. I thought it might be during the day.

CSF · 13-02-2012 1:07pm

Surely this can't be actually on the cards?

Well presumably he's going to start ridin' Stanley from the 14th, so it's not altogether inappropriate.

Did you already send him a card?

The board's refusal to sign Dawid Janczyk and Lubos Kaluda on 3-year contracts with an unlimited tab at the local ALDI was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Once more you are showing your ignorance regarding all things Sligo.
Sure, we don't even have an ALDI!

Gavin "shels" · 13-02-2012 4:09pm

Tadgh Purcell signing for Cork on a 6 month loan deal. Cork are handing out serious money again, it's a ****ing disgrace too, after walking away from their debts now twice in the last 5 years.

It makes you wonder what other clubs are paying given that we couldn't meet the wage demands of the strikers that already play here.

Seems like that Shels fan still has cobwebs from last season, bless him.

gimmick · 13-02-2012 5:15pm

I love how it is always Drumcondra Reds fans who are always first to condemn others signing players.

The fact is, CCFC are running WELL within budget. The highest earners wage would be nothing like even what "badly" paid players would have been taking pre examinership. There is also a large number of players who are taking peanuts weekly.

That is not taking into account any of the rest of the financial astuteness of the club since FORAS took it over. Budgets have been made and are stuck to rigidly.

The latest Cork franchise has never walked away from any debts.

_blank_ · 13-02-2012 5:25pm

Happy to buy history, but not all of it, only the bits that suit.

Caughlan welcomed with open arms, as a saviour, now the debts the club ran up under him aren't the club's debts any more.

Hmmm.

They are spot on though. CCFC have a competitive advantage over other clubs that honour their debts.

gimmick · 13-02-2012 5:45pm

Thats why I never want them to change. They are always so correct in everything they say that I use Drumcondra Reds fans as my moral compass when it comes to football.

But Cork FORAS have never run up any debt.

They did though get a nice helping hand from the FAI by being skipped up a division unlike the other new clubs that entered the league.

Purcell was on feck all with Rovers. He was one of our worst paid players and there was barely an effort to keep him at Rovers even with the cross channel interest.

I doubt he's on much at all, despite thinking he's gods gift to earth.

For the above to be true, somebody else might be telling 'serious money' porkies.....hmmmmm

Im pretty sure the opposite was the case. I distinctly remember us not having budget for another striker because he was the last on a fairly highly paid long term contract

Sligos compensation for Cook? Two friendlies against Accrington Stanley. I kid you not.

Really like the Bohs yellow jersey they're wearing tonight. Might warrant a purchase.

I was also under the impression that Purcell was one of the ones that got a decent contract out of Scully too.

Well set up their own club then or pay off CCFC's debts if they want to buy history etc.

Dundalk FC will probably be fan owned next season so by your logic we can walk away from their debts as DFC trust didn't run up any debt?? Will this stand up in a court of law?

Apparently so. Everyone should be obliged to take you seriously too, and should be classified as bitter if they do not.

I was under the impression he was the last (only?) one to get a 'long' contract mid-2007 that by 2009 Rovers were trying to get out of. Probably wages too.

You seem quite bitter alright. What do you expect fans taking over clubs to do, not follow Irish company recievership law and gracefully disappear in case it upsets some lad in Dundalk?

Ferris_Bueller · 13-02-2012 11:01pm

One of them CSKA loan signings scored for Limerick tonight, lost 3-2 to Sligo, both players started. Such a crazy bit of business

Quite bitter? Nope just want fair play for all clubs. Don't see how you could call that bitter.

Who is asking anybody to gracefully disappear. If someone wants to take over the club they should take over the debts. Can you name any other industry where you could buy the trading name, history etc of a company but start debt free??

Rovers, Derry and Cork have all walked away from Debt and all three have a good chance of qualifying for Europe next year. Would they be in the same position if they honoured their debts?

Pinturicchio · 13-02-2012 11:15pm

I was at Sligo vs Limerick tonight. There was about 100 there I'd say. The two lads from CSKA didn't exactly stand out. The number 6 played deep in midfield, put in a few tackles, but didn't really get involved on the ball. The number 9 didn't do much apart from stick one in the top corner.

There were 10 ex-Galway United players involved between both teams. The first 4 goals were all scored by ex-United players. Derek O'Brien's opening goal was great, he was their best attacking player IMO.

Sligo played some great stuff in the first half. Greene, Quigley, Boco and Cretaro combined well.

The game was scrappier in the second. That Seid lad looked hopeless.

I thought the two lads from CSKA were excellent, they flew into the country just last night, the number 6 in midfield was very very good, always looked comfortable on the ball and looked like he had way more time than anyone else - sign of a good player, always looking to pick out a pass, choosing the right option and he could tackle too.....once limerick start using him more and getting to know him he'll get even better

the lad up front was isolated and on his own up there, but he had a good attitude, won some headers and chased a lot of stuff down, i thought the two of them might be lazy but they worked hard - and what a goal he got, his only chance of the game and it was an absolute cracker, belted it into the top corner from about 20 yards....as i said considering they had justa rrived, they both did well and once they settle into the team they'll do more damage

sligo were good in the first half and limerick in the second, if limerick play gamble, bradley and that number 6 in the middle they'll be a match for anyone...and with guys like behan, o'brien and the number 9 up front they've got goals too, plus a solid defense...i'd say we saw two teams in the top five in the country tonight, a good game
