Brian Lenihan - Cork City

[Lethargic]

Bray, play in stripes in a seaside town where the seafront is full of not very good hotels... and until the comparison was broken on our side, a very run down stadium.

Also I have been to Bray and it was raining, I have also been to Brighton when it was raining -> conclusive proof.

Someone help my sanity, I seem to remember us signing an Irish starlet a few years ago and then immediately loaning him back, can't for the life of me remember who it was??

This fella has been playing right back, but his preference if for central midfield,.....

Sounds ideal in the Calderon/Bruno role wingback/midfield

Shane McFaul (sp)?

You just take that from my post earlier which has come from his mate from school?

No...from an interview he gave in march this year.

Lots of players have come over from the league of Ireland and had good careers. I read an article on him that stated his style was very much in the Seamus Coleman mould.

Cork city have confirmed thia and have stated friday nights cup gane will be B.L final game for them (seems odd letting him play)

Andy Naylor suggesting that if he signs, he is likely to go straight into the development squad. I'm a bit surprised by this...

So you'd have him sit and watch a few games first to see how we play before we put him in the Dev Squad?

Well thats just Naylor guessing

Not sure if it's been mentioned but Cork City have confirmed a bid has been accepted. Believed to be Brighton

Me too. AN seems to think Bruno is still fighting for the right-back role, but I thought Sami had moved him to midfield because he's not right for the wing-back role he wants. If that's the case, and if reports on the new players are correct, then I see Calde covered by Lenihan on the right, and Bennett covered by Chicksen on the left, hopefully seeing the youngsters pushing to take over as first-choice by next season.

Well thats just Naylor guessing

Good of him/The Argus to finally pick up on the story today.

Would LOVE this to happen...sounds very promising for the future!

Dev squad definitely, we have enough midfielders in the first team. The dev squad will give him experience and wouldn't be surprised to see him go out on short term loan.
Glad to see we are picking up talented youngsters that can hopefully break through to the first team in the next couple of years.
