2018 Transfers

[RathfarnhamHoop]

Simon Madden has left Rovers. A bit shocked at that one

[Asterix]

A brave move from bradley. Must have a good replacement from abroad lined up or maybe making room in the budget for someone else.

[White Horse]

Simon Madden released? I don't understand that at all.

Very reliable player, hardly ever injured, defends well, and adds a lot going forward.

One of the top two right full backs in the league.

[sbgawa]

yeah disappointed he is going but we must have someone lined up.

[nigel-harps1954]

Ethan Boyle will be an interesting replacement..

[sbgawa]

you reckon?
is he good or should I read something sinister into "interesting"
The old Chinese curse "May you live in interesting times"

[sulywaterfordfc]

Resigned as in left, or re-signed as in staying on?!?!

One of the worst things about the LOI online media is people not known the difference and what people actual mean. Seen many a tweet X resigned for the 2018 season. Which would leave you questioning has he left the club or has he signed a new deal. Mind boggles how people don’t know the difference in this day in age

[sulywaterfordfc]

Seen a LOI player giving out on twitter, how can a club release a Madden whom was already out of contract. I heard he got a better offer elsewhere then what Rovers has on the table

So Madden has released Rovers then?

[placid casual]

Hopefully he joins some team like Waterford, as at least then he won't be going to a rival, such as Cork, Dundalk,Derry.

[sbgawa]

that's good

he had another year on his contract,

Sorry, talkin through me hole, it is indeed up

[total hoofball]

Ryan Brennan has signed for St. Pats from Bray

[Charlie Darwin]

Letting Madden go is baffling. I hope he doesn't hold it against the club - he's always been a model pro and given everything for us and that'll always be appreciated by the fans.

Dundalk in confirmed:
Patrick Hoban
Stephen Folan
Dean Jarvis

[oriel]

Hoban is an excellent signing if he can show the same form he displayed for most of 2013 and all of 2014. He may not have exactly set the world alight in league 2 but still scored a good few and probably all clubs there are better than most of our PD.

Jarvis will have a job dislodging Massey but he has potential, Folan is an interesting choice, will probably challenge Hoare to partner Gartland, from the 3 I only see Hoban as an auto starter.

Looking like Mountney and Benson set to resign over the coming days too. Ronan Murray still strongly linked too.

[Ezeikial]

Have Derry fans any insight on Aaron McEneffs position?

Obviously he is under contract for next season, but there was strong and persistent suggestions around today that Dundalk have put in a hefty bid with Derry and that the player wants to move.

[patrickccfc]

If Hoban is still as good as he was with Dundalk previously, then that could be one hell of a signing. Wouldn't of minded him down this way.

[Philosophizer]

Bohs have re-signed Keith Ward. And have signed JJ Lunney from Pats - looked decent every time I saw him, but still young at 19.
They've also promoted a couple more u19s - Morgan (midfielder) and Magerusan (striker).
Bohs squad looking very young already for next yr, with just a sprinkling of experienced heads - Supple, Pender, Kavanagh, Corcoran and Ward.
