If they have a goalscorer, might be worth a shout but perhaps we need to see how Whelan does for us, when he starts playing.

Also, we are in bad need of an attacking midfielder who drives forward and can arrive in the box. They got one of those?

Without sounding ignorant & maybe someone who watches the IL closely could shed more light on it but are there any players at Cliftonville that would improve us or give us something different to what we already have?
I watch Cliftonville a lot and they are not bad, but no-one I think would improve us.

Doherty in midfield is tidy - but no better than what we have

Addis at the back - very good footballer, but may lack the pace needed for LOI

Ryan Curran would be a better option for us than McGonigle at present, he has improved as a player and an intelligent footballer, - their league challenge fell away when he got injured this year

The rest - none would do.

Can't believe you, like myself, watch Cliftonville and have highlighted Addis who has had a poor season with last Saturday (and a certain ex Candystripe forward giving him the runaround) summing it up.

Agreed about Curran but it won't happen for reason I mentioned previously.

Sean Moore is the only player even worth considering at Cliftonville. Hes got youth, ability and can be developed.

Curran isnt good enough despite his name being mentioned in here numerous times.

Great to see Higgins has managed to get a man in. I didnt think he would have wanted him back after telling Derry NAW last year but there you go.

A lot of comment sense there.

That's because he was carrying a serious injury and they were not sure how he would go with it, so they put him on the bench and just used him 15-20 mins at at time. By all accounts, he was very well thought of by insisting on being part of the squad despite having an injury.

The other times he was not included, he was fully injured and could not play.

Odd? On face value perhaps.
I only say 'odd' as it's not often you see managers given up their job to move to an assistant coaching position.
Probably doubling his wages.

Paddy's back home and on better money with no travelling. I would trust his good judgement in attracting Irish League players to Brandywell.

Still in the dark as to what this implies.

I think Marty is suggesting that you may be a fan of Ryan Curran? Could be wrong. :?

Paddy's 1st home game last night and we play a different way, on the front foot, and win.

Any correlation?
