Matthew Whelan gone from Cobh
Mikey Drennan had agreed to sign for Waterford last winter but was dragging his heels for ages so we decided against it. Very good player - got to the junior cup final with Evergreen - but has had his problems. Would be nice to see him back playing at a high level.
Could be exactly what Galway need
Would be a great signing. Keegan says initial approach has been made but he's not pushing anything, says if Drennan feels he is ready to return to the league, there is a welcome for him here out West
didnt know about drennan and keegan where were they together before?
Drennan is from Kilkenny, think Keegan was involved in Carlow/Kilkenny schoolboy set-up some years back (Keegan is from Laois) so I presume that's the connection
Big loss, I believe he's going to the states on a scholarship?Quote:

Is that a rumour?
Which one? Both are true afaik, John Kavanagh was announced on both Ramblers and City's Twitter accounts, some US college announced the pending arrival of Whelan. Big loss that lad and the third or fourth that we've lost to the u.s in the last couple of years.Quote:

Not too sure I'd be happy to see that one go through if I'm honest.
Jonah Ayunga going to us in returnQuote:

They loan him to the other team, while the other team pays his salary.
Ciaran O'Connor same situation
Yeah but Dundalk made something out of that situation. It makes less sense why Brighton would move a loan player so Sligo can sign someone else. Surely if Sligo don't want him Brighton would just say OK and find him a club in England instead and Galway would tell them to go whistle.
That doesn't make it much better.Quote:

According to some news sites they do have the power to do it, some say now some say on monday as some players are unpaid just now but monday is the cut off from late to unpaid, but I'm not too sure on how true that is and it would set a worrying precedent that could be abused in the future.Quote:

The participation agreement allows them to do whatever the fk they like.Quote:

I think if payments are missed Bray players would be free to leave regardless of the transfer window.
That Faherty - Ayunga swap is very strange business by us. I don't see why would try to help Sligo with their problems in front of goal. Vinny could be one of the biggest earners though so I'd be hopeful we'll announce another signing tomorrow.
They could leave but couldn't sign for another LOI club. Potentially could sign for an Irish League club or in other leaguesQuote:

Josh Daniels has left us, so it seems. IL transfer window still open until the end of the month, so you'd guess he's off to there.
Peterboro have agreed a fee with Pats for Conor O'Malley and he's leaving this week according to Paul O'Hehir. A big loss for Pats but Barry Murphy isn't too bad a second choice keeper in fairness.
O'Malley out of contract at the end of the season seemingly, so Pats left with no choice really if they wanted to get any money for him.Quote:

O'Malley wasn't going to keep us up on his own. If we do stay up it will be because of the new signings, which the money from the transfer may have helped to fund. Better that than get relegated and lose probably most of the squad in November.Quote:
