He'd be a fantastic addition for one of the teams in Europe, but you'd have to imagine Shamrock Rovers being his likely destination if he's to move back here. Karl Sheppards loan must be finished now?

Sheppard's deal runs until the end of the months as far as I know, but I would be surprised if he returns to Reading at all.
He doesn't appear to be in any great rush, does he? I didn't think he'd have that luxury. I don't mean that as a reflection on him, just don't expect many to have the financial resources to wait around...
Well today's the first day he could move but he spoke about wanting to get it done quickly

Philly Hughes goes out 'on loan' to St. Pats http://www.shelbournefc.ie/news.php?id=2538
The Shels website blurb sounds like they are letting him temporarily drop down a level to get his scoring touch back!

Jordan Keegan to Dundalk all but confirmed I'm told.
Stephen Kenny is an admirer and wanted to sign Keegan pre-season.

The window only opened today sure.
True enough, but many other deals appear to be well advanced or done by now, with just the formalities to be done in the window itself. Just observing that that doesn't appear to be the case here.

Lots of rumours flying around Dundalk about Mark Quigley returning.
Only rumours mind.

This is about the fifth time Quigley has been certain to leave Rovers since he joined. He'd want to make up his mind, he seems awfully indecisive.

Leeds United apparently.

Is that based on actual fact or is it a re-telling of the "Brian McDermott was in Bray to see Forrester" rumour?

Apparently Cobh are making 3 or 4 new signings including Waterfords favourite son Craig Burns. Been training with them all year only signing now. Great addition if O'Neill can step it up in the absence of Meade they could have a great end to the season.

Apparently, he's been saying it himself. I haven't read any of this, but supposedly either his Twitter or his Facebook page has been receiving good luck wishes on his big move to England.
It was fairly inevitable really.
Charlie Darwin
02/07/2013, 12:42 AM
Inevitable but I'd still fear for him, even though he's probably outgrown the LOI. He still looks too small to make it in the bosh league.
Leeds United apparently.
You must be thinking of Harry Forrester...

I hear Curran has offers from other than Longford and Athlone so wouldn't expect him to decide on a move for quite a while yet.

Curran seems to be doing a Neymar and dragging it out. He met Roddy in Dublin yesterday so itll be interesting to see what happens

Sure you hear all these rumours about the financial state of clubs. Sure doesn't Roddy and the Athlone boys think Longford are backed by oil tycoons from Asia!

Whilst he made a bit of a fool of himself in pre-season, I hope he gets back playing with a LOI club. He's a decent player with a bright future, especially when he physically matures.
I think it's a shame for him that he didn't stay with us. He had more or less secured a starting position, and another season in the FD was just what he needed. He was in no way ready for PD football.
Hes signed for Doncaster and a lot of Leeds fans are talking about Chris probably all started on Twitter and Ian Bermingham saying it to him on facebook.
I know exactly how it started, and it was a joke.

Didnt get much game time if any with Bohs this season, suppose this increases the chances of Jayo to Rovers now?

He played a season for Waterford United. He never won over the fans. He blew hot and cold, both within matches and over the course of the season. He got a couple of astonishing goals (including a Van Basten-esque volley at the RSC which was my goal of the season in 2011), and played brilliantly in a few games (notably in a 3-2 away win against Cork), but could also be absolutely anonymous.
He is lightning fast. That much is true at least.

Similar at UCD. Bar the van Basten goals.

If this is true then Athlone must of come back in with a counter offer on what Longford did. Where did Roddy get the cash???!!!!!! :D
