Luke Fitzpatrick

[charliesboots]

Just wondering how Lukey did for you in his time on loan?

Always looked a decent player with our U21's.

Outstanding since he arrived, played at centre-back. Had a stinker on Saturday v Limerick though!

[Magicme]

Been great. If he had been here all season he would have won player of the year.

Has a new look too! Got the floppy blonde locks cut off and is hardly reconginsable!

I heard he has been playing centre back alright. He played on the wing for us and played up front for Quarryvale before he signed for us afaik.

I've heard he's in the Pats squad for the friendly tonight against Wisla Krakow. Hopefully he gets a run out. Not sure what his contract situation is for next season.

[Magicme]

We signed him for the remainder of the season but St Pats have 1st option on him. I hope he gets a run out and I hope you decide he is not quite ready to come back and send him back to us for another season!

Luke is 22 in January so it's probably now or never for him at Pats.

Well out of selfishness I hope he doesnt but coz he is a nice guy and deserves the best I hope you take him back.

[Lionel Ritchie]

Seen him a couple of times. Played a blinder in the Mons 2-0 win over Dundalk. Sadly for the Mons I think he's probably Premier standard and while I don't know what competition for him would be like back at Pats, I think he'll end up in the Premier sooner rather than later.

[Magicme]

You are prob right Lionel but I hope he stays.

[Magicme]

I see he got a game last nite. How was he? Did he play well?

[charliesboots]

He came on in the first half for John Frost (injured) and played right back for most of the game, moved to centre back for a few minutes at the end.

Did well enough.

[Magicme]

So do you think they will be looking to take him back then? (please say no)

[Magicme]

Been told by a mate at St Pats that Luke said he really enjoyed his time at Monaghan so hopefully that means if Pats don't want him back, he will stay with us.

Very good player, was always impressed by the lad. His biggest fault was trying too hard to cover the entire back line.
Great in the air and has got a bit of pace too. One to look out for imo.
Was he not rumoured as going to Dundalk?

[Magicme]

Yeah but they always express an interest for our best players. As far as I know he hasnt been approached by them tho.
