Liam Nash in from Gillingham. 1 year deal. Striker, scored a few in pre season in games in Kerry while on trial and those who saw him play were very positive about him but his track record isn't the best. We'll see.
Ronan Coughlan released. John Kav confirmed to Harps on loan til the summer.
There is little doubt Cork would benefit significantly from a striker with pace and mobility - is Nash supposed to have those qualities?
It must be difficult to understand JC's approach to player recruitment - last season he signed a load of full backs, this season he is turfing out players with only recently signed contracts. Presumably Ronan Coughlan, like others before him this close season, would have had to get some type of settlement of his contract
Coughlan was moved on to pay for Nash. Coughlan clearly wasn't going to work out so it was the right call I think. It didn't work out. I'm sure he got something but I doubt it was near full value of contract or moving him on wouldnt have made sense.
Nash is being signed for pace and finishing, apparently. Whether it works out like that? Who knows. He doesn't have enough of a track record to be overly excited. Did well enough in pre season but the quality of opposition wasn't high enough to really judge.
It gives a different option anyway which was needed. Fingers crossed.

Shamrock Rovers confirm signing of striker Orhan Vojic and goalkeeper Leon Phols
https://shamrockrovers.ie/2019/02/13/double-signing-of-vojic-and-pohls/
Can anyone explain what Stephen Bradley might mean by this observation about Vojic?
Bradser said
A lot of our attackers are good footballers and come off and play whereas Orhan thinks about the other side of the attacking game so it’s a good mix for us to have

Agree with that he looked good against Cabo took his goal well. Hopefully he is the centre forward we have been searching for

Sligo have signed Ronan Coughlan from Cork.
They've also announced they'll now not be signing the random Nigerian buck they had unveiled a few weeks ago due to international clearance issues.

Aaron Barry on loan to Bohs until the summer. Looks like we're bringing in another striker, possibly on loan from the UK today. I think it might be a younger player though so low expectations.

That young striker turned out to be 21 year old Matthew or Matty Gillam from Rochdale. On loan until July 1st. Hard to know how good he is, he has scored a couple of goals at L1 level and a few more in the EFL trophy.
Derry City confirm signing of Michael McCrudden from Institute.........
https://www.derrycityfc.net/2019/02/mccrudden-completes-move-to-city/
Derry City can confirm that Michael McCrudden has joined the club from Institute FC.
The player had agreed to join the club during the summer, having signed a pre-contract agreement in recent weeks. However following discussions between the two clubs, an agreement has been reached to allow Michael to move to the Candystripes immediately.
The boards at both clubs would like to acknowledge that this has been a complicated and protracted process.
Michael will now join up with Derry City and will be available for the 2019 SSE Airtricity Premier Division campaign

No, they just arrived. Most of our triallists were a waste of time really.

Some more competition for full back positions
Dundalk FC are delighted to announce the signing of Cameron Dummigan from Oldham Athletic on a long-term contract.
The full-back, who can play on both the right and left side, today completed a medical at Oriel Park and will immediately join the first-team squad, pending international clearance.

Waterford also signed last week Hugo Keto a Finnish underage international goalkeeper on loan from Brighton.

He has been chronically unlucky with injuries the last two years. A fantastic kid needs game time. If he stays fit (please God for him) he will score goals for you.

I just don't understand this move. Dundalk have more than enough to win the league comfortably. Even with the current injuries being concentrated in once position they have Shields, McGrath, Moutney, Murray and I guess in an emergency could put Jarvis, Hand or another defender in there. They also have a bunch of wingers, one of whom could probably fill in at number 10 if needed.
They could also just change formation if they don't have enough bodies in midfield. I am going to be really interested to see the P&L details for last year and this year to get an idea on how quickly they are eating the Euro money.

How big must dundalks squad be now. They have a multitude of players it seems. Still, once they can afford it I suppose.

Its not even just the size, its the quality. They have two starting XIs that would rival most others in the league.
This type of signing just speeds up the day that P6 have a spending decision to make, do we invest or pull back? Of course European progress could answer that question for them.

I just don't understand this move. Dundalk have more than enough to win the league comfortably.
The club have even said they've only taken this measure due to Benson and McEleney's injuries. He'll offer cover in midfield for a few months and then leave.

How big must dundalks squad be now. They have a multitude of players it seems. Still, once they can afford it I suppose.
If you count teenagers Dylan Hand and Lido Lotefa the squad size is now 25 players including the loan signing Joe McKee.
The case for another signing became pressing because of the current injury list with four central midfield players unavailable, two of whom are out for about 3 months.
Jamie McGrath (expected back soon)
Jordan Flores (time frame uncertain)
Patrick McEleney (c12 weeks)
Robbie Benson (c12 weeks)
Taking Joe McKee on a loan to the summer window is a pragmatic and sensible move - if he is a decent player

A goal like this one form Joe McKee on March 1st would be nice

Ezekial, I was under the impression that both Benson & McEleney's injuries were not as bad as first feared, out for 3 months is a fair length of time to be honest. i can see why mckee was brought in
I dont see it as envy, btw, more an observation that a complete novice of a manager has a big job keeping that many players happy

What is the story with Gavan Holohan? He's isn't signed with anyone is he?Seemed to do very well for Waterford last season.

Its not even just the size, its the quality. They have two starting XIs that would rival most others in the league.
This type of signing just speeds up the day that P6 have a spending decision to make, do we invest or pull back? Of course European progress could answer that question for them.
Judging by the result against Athlone it seems that their second eleven aren't up to much.

Now that you are talking squad sizes - What's the sceal with Dan Smith coming in from Bognor Regis?
Smith will be the fourth English striker signed by John Caulfield in recent weeks.
Liam Nash signed a permanent deal from Gillingham while James Tilley and Matty Gillam arrived on loan from Brighton and Rochdale respectively.
Smith, 19, had been on loan at non-league Bognor Regis scoring 12 times in 21 appearances.

Will these 4 lads be duking it out with Cummins, Sheppard, Rainsford, O'Connor and Cian Murphy.
Is 9 forwards enough?
Gillam injured himself in the Pat's warmup. He's gone back. Smith is the replacement.
Murphy won't play much, very young. Plenty of potential but not this season.
O Connor isn't a striker, he'll play on the wing. Should play the 10 but Buckley is untouchable. Shep isn't a striker either tbf but does get thrown in there. He'll mostly play on the wing too.
For the forward spot, it's really Cummins/Nash/Smith duking it out. Shep could play a few games there but it's not a good sign when he does.
Don't think Rainsford is up to it. Could get a few sub appearances on the wing but I doubt it. I'd expect him to be release by summer.
No question, our squad is pretty big. A fair few are kids though. Good to have them around the squad but unlikely to play much. Ronan Hurley could be the exception. Not many squad players that will be pushing for a starting spot.

Georgie Poynton left Pats,Waterford his destination apparently.....

Yeah. He has signed for Waterford. Dean O'Halloran gone on loan to Bray Wanderers from Waterford.

I think we signed Poynton with the intention of him being a midfielder, then the opportunity came up to get Forrester and McCabe in and he was suddenly pushed for down the pecking order and reduced to being Madden's back up at right back. Seems strange at face value that he's been let go so early but it makes sense under the circumstances as he probably wants more of a role than a cover/utility player and we probably don't need to be paying him if he's not going to be playing.

Can't sign for anyone until July now anyway. It's a strange one, but by all accounts he was poor in Dalymount last week and midfield is one area we've plenty of options, so it's no real loss

Has the transfer deadline passed? Wasn’t paying too much attention to it. Wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up back with us at some stage alright.

Was there a risk of a third club signing with Verdon? Even if a player signs from club a to club b and then back to a will that still count as 3 clubs in a specified period. I presume cancelling a contract doesnt help with limiting the number of clubs that can be signed for either? Not suggesting that this is the case here just a general question!

I believe the Farrelly situation from years back clarified this eventually. The three clubs in a season is no longer based on the 'traditional' season but context dependent. So Verdon has only played for two clubs this season and that would have been the same had he joined a club other than Longford. He could hypothetically join a team in NI in July because that would be a new season.
