According to my inside sources he was meeting with UCD last night but hasn't signed anything.

Was this "a source close to UCD"?

Perhaps hovering about twenty metres over the campus at the time?

I was talking to Maccer today, by the way. He said no-one's definitely come in or gone bar Pat Kavanagh (didn't know about Brian King at the time). He doesn't yet know what's going to happen with Daz and Gaz, but we should be starting next season with most of last year's squad anyway.

He needs to get my inside scoops.

Also Shane something will be signing.

That Shane something is "some" player

A source close to bebo.

Keith Doyle is taking a year out of football according to the College Tribune. Dunno if anyone's mentioned that before.

**Poor Student** · 27/01/2007, 8:53 PM

They haven't. It's a big blow if you ask me, he stabilised the highly problematic left back role. Puts us back to square one. Any idea why he decided to do this?

**CollegeTillIDie** · 27/01/2007, 9:15 PM

..... probably wants to go somewhere like AUS bleedin TRALIA !

By all accounts he seemed to have had a poor 18 months before signing for UCD, a terrible season at Rovers and the demise of Dublin City. He did well to nail down a place at UCD following a terrible start with that bad injury. It seems stupid to take a break when he had his footballing career back on track.

Well said ! However the answer to the left back problem might be in house. Alan Mahon played left back in his first couple of seasons at Belfield. He has also played sweeper. So there's an answer possibly!

**pineapple stu** · 27/01/2007, 9:59 PM

Conor Kenna to left-back, McNally and Shortall at centre-half.

Alternatively, Damien Kelly, Billy-Bob (although I think his injuries are reaching chronic at this stage) or Aaron McEniff.

**CollegeTillIDie** · 27/01/2007, 10:05 PM

Aaron McEneff? Is he still around?

**DmanDmythDledge** · 27/01/2007, 10:06 PM

Had a nasty metertasal injury last year and now has metal plates in his foot. He is still out of action.

Alan Mahon isn't even good enough for right back, let alone left back!

I hate seeing Kenna wasted at left back. While Shorthall is an able deputy, a defence with Kenna and McNally in the centre and Keith Doyle on the left was very strong and well balanced.

I thought he'd signed for Finn Harps?

Thought Kenna was very solid at left-back last season when he played there. Certainly better than in 2004!! I woudn't have a bother putting him there for the season; Shortall's come on a lot in the last year too and would be well able to partner Allie Mac.

Haven't heard anything about Micko signing for Harps though?

That will work, and I don't think Poor Student will disagree, but Kenna is a very good centre half, and merely a decent left back. If we can put him in the middle, we should.
