How was he transferred from city? I know it was rumoured for a lot of last season but why was it done so quietly & did city get anything.........?

I think it was the same time as Delaney went, but I'm not certain.

I’m puzzled big time.
For some reason I can’t access the CCFC forum so I have to pick up the scraps here.
I read in the independent this morning that this guy Leon McS is ready to play for city against Bohs tonight.
I heard nothing about him but apparently he signed at the start of the season but was in eligible to play.
I take it we re-signed him about 6 years after he left City, same time as Damien Delaney

Start of the Season Signing, is that true??
If he was ineligible to play wouldn’t we have kicked up a right fuss like Healy and Farrelly or is his circumstances different again?

I don't know if we signed him in March or a few days ago.

He did leave around the same time as Delaney.

start of the under-21 season - that is, just a few days ago.

Ya, one game doesn't tell a lot but good to hear he has pace.
Might be good to come off the bench Saturday.
