That's a bit of a strange one. He showed decent potential at Dundalk the few times he was in the 1st team and certainly was one of the better U19s. Id imagine that Fenn would be good developing young players and with Longford promotion candidates it wouldnt have done his confidence any harm compared to an inconsistant Galway side. He had only just signed in December and Longford is a lot closer to home than Galway. Delusions of granduer?Quote:

Kevin O'Connor returns to Cork City
One of the few signings made by JC this season that is likely to strengthen the side, if played in his natural positionQuote:

Seems Harps have loaned John Kavanagh back from Cork,played against Athlone today.
Nice lad John & a decent player.Quote:

Delighted with that bit of news. Kavanagh is a top class player. Really surprised Caulfield let him back out on loan, but I suppose he'd prefer to be playing first choice for Harps rather than on the bench at Cork.
So it now appears Carlton is still with LTFC and is currently undergoing rehab for an injury. Strange the club would sign an injured player. Was lots of rumours around town that he wasn't going to be with us this season. Something strange clearly went on but Fenn referenced him in an interview recently for the first time and he's got a squad number. Hopefully he lives up to the hype.
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.
Kavanagh back on loan to Harps been confirmed this evening by the club.
Another signing made to be announced before Bohs game. Or, knowing Ollie, could well just end up on the team sheet without telling anyone..
There is little doubt Cork would benefit significantly from a striker with pace and mobility - is Nash supposed to have those qualities?Quote:

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...jic-and-pohls/
Can anyone explain what Stephen Bradley might mean by this observation about Vojic?
Quote:
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
Well Dan Carr drops deep to get the ball does skiil and gets by players from what ive seen of Vojic he stays higher up the pitch and makes runs behind the defence,
He's a big target manQuote:

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

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.
Much needed.Hopefully it works out.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
Harps sign Sean Boyd on loan from Shamrock Rovers.
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.

Limerick not expecting to be busy in the transfer market. Hopefully they can get proper training facilities sorted out.
