Playing for Dundalk is clearly much more attractive to the Tinder ladies.
Harps have signed Shane McEleney from Larne.
Warrenpoint sign Ryan Swan. Presumably looking to get some decent game time and target a return to LoI in the summer, like Maxi Kougoun and others
Pats made that mistake before, Bucko got the brothers mixed up.Quote:

Michael O'Connor joins Waterford on loan again from Linfield. His contract with Linfield is up in the summer so might be able to get him for full season depending on how things go.
Shels departures:
Delaney
JRWilson
Prendergast
Marku
Noone
CByrne
English
Moorhouse
Who are that Cetiner and Ray OSullivan who played on the friendly?
They played with our Under 19 LOI Team last season, as did Charles Mutawee - also on Saturday's team.
Is there anywhere with a collated list of transfers or players re-signed? I don't really want to read through 20 pages of rumours to see who has actually signed up & where. Extratime just have signings but no departures, any other port of call?
Used to be updated on here, but hasn't been done in a few years. Be happy to update as much as I can find here later on today.
Not sure if this is 100% up to date but has most as far as I can seeQuote:

God bless the internet, the info is always out there, somewhere
Harps have signed Karl O'Sullivan from Limerick.
Also Mark Russell has re-signed with us for 2020 which is a big one. Slow start from him after his move from Falkirk but he proved a massive player for us towards the end of the season
Former Cork City, Waterford and Finn Harps defender John Kavanagh gone to Cobh Ramblers. Great signing for Ramblers, especially if he stays injury free
http://cobhramblers.ie/john-kavanagh-signs-for-cobh/
Pierce Phillips also a decent signing for them and meant to be few lads from Limerick in training with them.
Initially read this as Prince Phillip and was thinking it was only a good signing if they could play him in a remotely controlled wheelchair.Quote:

Bohs have signed Ciaran Kelly, centre half from Pats, what`s he like?
He's ok, a good few Pats fans were unhappy that S'OD seemed happy to let him go but I can understand it personally (outside of the fact we've no depth at all now). Good potential and would be effective for a side that would use centre halves like say Harps (no offence Harps fans) but as of right now he's an quite average LOI player ability wise on the whole. Has the physicality there but made more mistakes as the season went on last year and needs improving on the ball. I think Bohs will be a good environment for him though and I wouldn't be surprised to see Long and Croly get him up to standard quickly enough, probably a better place for a player like him to kick on at the moment than Pats unfortunately.Quote:

Robbie McCourt signs for Waterford. He was with Bohs last couple of seasons.
Robbie has plenty of ability, but not as much as he thinks he has. His work ethic is what really let him down when he was with us. Hope he does well with you.Quote:

A very average player & that's being kind to him.Quote:

Garry Buckley being one recent previous example.
Very Average player :eek:Quote:

You obviously didn't have to watch Buckley all last season.Quote:

It's hard to say where we are. We have some players coming in under the radar and a lot of unknowns.Quote:

So basically you’re saying you have no hope at all?Quote:
