Yeah, that's the one.

**Martinho II** · 14/07/2016, 7:21 PM

We have signed some Yann Mvita Nkelu from French club Coulommierrs Brie Football Club.

Rather helpfully the club neglected to give us further details on this signing. This has the makings of George Weahs first cousin that signed for Southampton in 1995 Cant remember his name but he didnt last too long as he was crap!

**gufcfan** · 14/07/2016, 7:55 PM

Major signing my back side. Not even any stats for him online.

**nigel-harps1954** · 14/07/2016, 8:24 PM

That club play in the equivalent of a Saturday league reserve division.

Brilliant 'major signing' that one.

**Mr A** · 14/07/2016, 8:32 PM

The media officer was probably told he was a massive signing and paraphrased.

In fairness he is massive.

On the other hand his last club is named after cheese.

He was only with them from May until now. Probably his local club. Played in the Slovenian premier division for two seasons before that. Or was at the club anyway no idea how often he played. NK Domzale I think they're in the Europa League this year.

He might be massive, but "major signing"? They're giving Athlone a run for their money

**Longfordian** · 14/07/2016, 8:49 PM

Formerly of Wolves u18s as well according to this

Money is huge in France on 5th or 6th tiers you can find professional players getting paid over 1k a month training 3 evenings a week only

**GC13** · 16/07/2016, 12:37 PM

Money in France is good, standard is good, facilities are good standard of living etc why Longford or indeed Ireland - I'm sure we would all appreciate good players coming into the league so lets hope the young lad does well

**outspoken** · 18/07/2016, 11:00 AM

could have been playing Sunday league in France for all we know

**GC13** · 18/07/2016, 5:55 PM

Drogheda Utd signed Gareth McCaffrey [FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans serif][COLOR=#4d4f51]from Shamrock Rovers - they need a goal scorer if they are to secure a play-off position - anyone know much about him?[/COLOR][/FONT]

**vinnie** · 20/07/2016, 2:02 PM

He's a lively lad who will give his all, never really got a chance at Rovers, anytime I seen him play he looked like he could be a decent player if he was given a run of a few games, his attitude also seemed good. I think he'll be an excellent signing for Drogheda

**GC13** · 20/07/2016, 5:36 PM

Good to hear Vinnie, average age of Drogheda squad is around 22yrs so a bright prospect for them based on your overview!

**gufc2000** · 20/07/2016, 9:19 PM

Galway United In:

Sam Ramsbottom (Tranmere Rovers)

Another keeper - does Dunne not realise you can only play 1 in goals at any one time?

BAM! Dunne has a "Jones" for signing keepers... not so much with centre midfielders or wide players... I know our current keeper is no world beater but changing our keeper won't make that much of a difference...
