Good news for Derry. Nicky Low is staying put.

Very good player, really liked the look of him when Derry visted last month, 0-0 draw, you could see he played at a high level, rarely lost it, good positioning, good news for Derry retaining him.

Dylan Connolly to Dundalk was all the talk tonight at the Galway match.

That will be an interesting move. I genuinely don't get the hype with him, but playing in a better team should show his quality if its there. Though is he the type of player Dundalk really need?

**Charlie Darwin** · 26/06/2017, 9:34 PM

I guess it's all falling apart at the Carlisle so.

Dundalk badly need a wide player who can beat a full back.

**El-Pietro** · 26/06/2017, 9:57 PM

Keep looking then! From the limited amount of time I've seen him he doesn't beat anyone. Just runs into space until he runs out of space. Maybe hes been amazing in the games against other teams.

**Charlie Darwin** · 26/06/2017, 10:18 PM

He does beat defenders, to be fair. Maybe not against Cork because tactically they can mark him out of it.

Yep. I saw him in Tallaght a few months back and was very impressed. He oozed quality. A lovely baller to have in the middle of a team.

Will be chuffed if he goes to dundalk , won't improve them at all but will weaken bray in the fight for 2nd 3rd and 4th

That's Killian Brennan's word. More likely that 3 decent albeit underperforming players have left the club, off the wage bill and they can concentrate on a squad in the 2nd half of the season that have the stomach for a relegation dog fight.

Not the first time that Drogheda players have thrown the toys out of the pram after a drubbing by Dundalk. Last time they didnt turn up for training and this time transfer requests go in - cant see too many scrambling to sign them. Pats would hardly go back for Brennan? Griffen might have a shout with Newry.

Fixed for you. Connolly is woefully over-rated.

**Nesta99** · 27/06/2017, 8:07 AM

If he went on a free to Harps nige?

Let me pretend you're comparing signing for Harps to signing for Dundalk..

It looks like we've signed Garvan so I doubt we'll have enough to offer Brennan a deal, unless we can ship a few players out (preferably the 2 Dennehys). I'd take Bennan back in a heartbeat

**sbgawa** · 27/06/2017, 9:56 AM

brennan def signing for Pats from what I hear.
Who else can he sign for so he will be signing on the cheap.

Evading the question! If he were signing for Harps would you rate his potential differently, taking in to consideration the relative standing of each side...even if you pretend Harps are champions.

Honestly, no. I don't rate him to that standard at all. He spends more time trying to con the referee with his diving than he does playing the game. If he got his head down and concentrated on his football I'm sure he'd be a grand player, but honestly, I'd stick with Caolan McAleer over him any day.

Wonder who Caolan plays for
