Michael O'Connor rumoured to be off to Bradford City on a 2.5 year deal. Pity if he goes because I reckon he'd have a great future with us. Although he lacked chances under Kenny.

Armin Aganovic being linked with us.. what's the verdict Galway fans?
If this goes through, the compensation for Michael O'Connor will probably be over 10k, as Bradford will have to pay the usual development fee. Decent move for him as he will get more games against better standard players at his age.
Good luck to the lad if he heads over.
Best thing for him is to stay where he is and break into the first team
Rumoured that Patrick McClean (Derry) has signed for Waterford.
No noise from our end on it. Few people in Derry mentioned it.
Latest rumour is Michael O'Connor deal to Bradford is off.
So he's goin to Rovers instead. As you do..
McGrath to dundalk also? Seems a strange one, good potential but ready to win a league?
Jamie McGrath all but needs proper guidance, he'll fair well at Dundalk if he goes that way.
At this stage, I don't think any team is the "team to beat".
Dundalk have lost a lot of quality but have yet to finish putting their squad together. Cork have not really strengthened and look like they are going to rely on two ageing centre backs. Shamrock Rovers have added about a dozen midfielders but are weak at the back and up front.
It could be a very competitive season when you add Derry into the mix.
PP giving odds of 11/4 on Cork winning the league, decent price if you ask me. Not much value with Dundalk at 1/1
Rovers announcing new signing in next few minutes
Michael O'Connor has signed for Rovers.
Good signing. Glad they went for him instead of mooney, I'd heard he was in the frame....6 goals in 30 matches in league 1...I'd rather sign potential. Boyd and any of dobbs Shaw o Connor up front looks good.
I will be shocked if boyd o Connor and dobbs don't all have huge futures...Mooney was good but hi s record the last couple of years doesn't show that. Wish him well though he's another decent honest irish pro
How many Shams fans are excited that Micheal O'Connor has signed for them?
Don't know if excited is the word but glad we have another striker we looked a little thin up front. Should we be excited I have seen very little of him?
: ) by my count that makes 11 under 19's in our squad for next season. But thankfully a decent few with a bit of experience too. Will take a bit of time to gell them all together, they had better get a good few friendlies in quick.
Sorry double click there
Tbf and just for the recOrd (in case he signs for us later : ) ) I'm not saying he isn't a decent player but to get him home from England would cost s fair bit in wages and he's not exactly banging them in for the last couple of years. Dundalk have the cash so you can afford to do it....good luck to him either way.
Jamie McGrath is meant to be a done deal to Dundalk, Mooney is a strong link, Michael Duffy (ex Derry) is another but a loan deal from Celtic. Then with Alan Keane signing for Crusaders yesterday there is speculation with Vemmelund for cover for Gannon, which would be fun. He is a good player though, can play across the back I think?
All speculation, but the same 4 names appear to be cropping up, the deal for McGrath might be completed in a few days though.
Kenny McEvoy home from England today. Linked with Waterford and Galway.
Seems like he will be announced for Galway tomorrow.
Interesting to see if he can resurrect his career in the LOI. Was a potential talent when in the Ireland u21 squad.
