2025 Arrivals and Departures

Holt is a strange one. Plays well, I think, and had to go through a wee bit of aggro to force the move to Derry in the first place.

McMullan, too, seems odd. Well-liked, gets the games.

Would be a good move for Hoban to Coleraine considering RH is there. Cant remember the name of the player but yet another ex Derry City player joined him last week.

He's been good enough, when he gets on. I'd say that's the issue, he's just not getting the game time.

Rumours of lots more movement come next month. Diallo, McMullen, Ferguson, Holt and Hoabn all going, apparently. Seems like a lot, so we'll see if it actually pans out. Hoban is off to Coleraine, it seems.

That is some amount of movement alright. I'd say there's a couple there that will cost a decent amount to move on as well. I guess Lynch's initial assessment of the league/squad was a bit wrong then and he's trying to start again from scratch.

Reynolds did a bit of a clear out when he came to Bohs initially and we're really only starting to see the fruits of it now(Squad is still bloated in some areas and bare in others if I'm being honest). He has said previously that the signings that came in took a bit of time to get up to full fitness because they mostly came in from outside the league. If that's the route Derry go this summer it could be a long season for you.

Dont quite get this Holt thing at all. I have watched him and he genuinely isnt our best centre half in my eyes. Hayden Cann has impressed me this year and is probably on a fraction of the wage Holt is commanding.

By all accounts I dont tthink Holt or his mrs have settled here at all are looking for an out.

Saw this on Twitter and thought I was losing my marbles. Chelsea are reportedly close to 'beating' Liverpool and Newcastle to the signing of Kian Best that was on loan at Bohs for the first half of this season and managed to get the sum total of 1 appearance for them before being released by Preston (without being told, he actually saw it himself on their Instagram!) and not offered a permanent deal by Bohs. About as strange a piece of transfer news as it gets

It's especially weird because from what I've heard when he arrived at Bohs he wasn't match fit, he arrived in the middle of the championship season, and he never improved on that apparently. It must have been especially bad because while he wasn't good against Derry in his loan appearance he also wasn't awful but even as the only actual left back in the squad he only managed to get 1 appearance. Seems he's a young lad who doesn't take his trade seriously yet, maybe being released was a wake up call for him.

Who knows Kian Best could turn out to have a great Premier League career following an underwhelming LOI loan spell just like Brad Jones

Where was Brad Jones again in LOI and when did he play? Is that GK that used to play for Liverpool?
