Likewise with Pats, Derry and Shels so far. Seems to be a trend this off season that clubs with good budgets aren’t bringing in as many loans as in recent years. Probably through learning from experience of usually requiring replacements if the loan goes very well or badly. Cork, Drogs, Sligo still making use of the loan market, I’d imagine more so out of necessity to try and pick up some players to keep up with the budgets of the othersQuote:

Harps signed Dara McGuinness from Stoke City
Certainly can't be easy for either Tryp or Healy if true, assuming they're still based in Killarney and Galway, respectively.Quote:

They never seemed to fit, to be honest. Seemed like desperation signings, Higgins throwing things at the wall to try to get the team going last season.
Treaty training at 7 in the morning is yet another lightbulb moment of inspiration from the current mgt....it will be now be added to the very long increasing list of excuses fans in the midwest have to listen to every week.
Cork City signed French centre back Milan Mbeng,last played for Charleroi B at the 3rd level of Belgian football,Cork wouldn’t fill you with confidence for next season….
Rovers signing former Celtic and Sunderland fullback Adam Matthews,last at Omonia in Cyprus …
Derry will be gutted they've missed out on that one.
Hasn't played a game since Feb of last year. Looks a reasonable signing other than that, but it's usually a bit of a warning sign I think?
14 Welsh caps, but none since 2018.
Karl Chambers from Longford Town to st Mochtas according to the gospel of FAI connect. That one stings
33 years old and played 14 games since 2022.........im going to stick my neck out here and say thats another one for the injury list.Quote:

Lys Mousset on trial with Bohs. Sheff Utd bought him for ten million in 2019 but he hasn't played a senior game in nearly two years.
How did we miss him>?Quote:

On 15 August 2022, Mousset signed a two-year contract with VfL Bochum in Germany. In January 2023, Mousset was suspended from the team due to disciplinary issues including a "lack of motivation, unpunctuality and unprofessionalism", with Bochum sporting director Patrick Fabian stating: "We kept giving him a chance, now there's no point. It's pretty disappointing because we naturally had a lot of hopes from him in terms of sport. At some point, however, the time has come when we have to protect the group as a whole." He was loaned out to Ligue 2 club Nîmes on 31 January 2023. He suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in May 2023 with Nîmes. On 9 January 2024, Mousset's contract with Bochum was terminated by mutual consent, without having played a game for the club.
Did his Achilles tendon in May 2023 so they should’ve been all over him! Although to be fair Bohs are giving that recruitment strategy a run for its money with the players in their squad/have been linked with!Quote:

"The respected German media outlet Bild reported that Bochum had suspended Mousset over a "lack of motivation, unpunctuality and unprofessionalism." It later emerged that Mousset had reported late to training despite it taking place next to the hotel he was staying in; Bochum manager Patrick Fabian said there was “no point” in giving the striker a chance."
EDIT: It takes me that long to actually write a short post that by the time I did multiple people have already posted what I was saying.
Come on Bohs fukc him to the side and sign Mario Balotelli life would be easier and we'd all have some fun especially the shopping trips to Dunne's StoresQuote:

I suspect Bradley is influenced by his Joey O'Brien signing from 2018, same position sort of similar career profile to Matthews signing at 32 coming off injuries/lack of games and Bradley got a few seasons of decent milage with O'Brien and leadership to boot. Odds are that luck won't strike twice Matthews probably will not work out as wellQuote:

Gillespie was a journeyman but dont think he crossed 10 mil in transfers.
doesnt matter who he plays for, thats bad luck on that boy. he really was a talent when he started but hes been plagued by injuries ever since.Quote:

in other bohs/rovers related news , im hearing that afolabl is asking for a lowish 7 figure sum contract to sign for Rovers. gtf mate!
Hayden Cann is on trial at Derry. I haven’t seen as much of him as Drogheda and Dundalk fans but I think it’s safe to say… jaysus
Damien Duff commanded a fee of over €20 million when signing for Chelsea if I recall correctly.Quote:

Kian Best (19), Preston NE defender, joining Bohs until the summer, according to the Lancashire Post. His contract expires in June and it is unknown whether he will get a new deal at Preston. He has had only 3 minutes of Championship action this season, as Preston have strengthened their squad, but played in 13 matches last season.
Will have gone under the radar but Tom Healy has returned to Glin Rovers.Quote:

Don’t think he’s signed for anyone yet,surprised someone hasn’t signed him but maybe he’s not going to play this season….Quote:

Rumour and innuendo locally would suggest he has lost interest. I wouldn't be surprised if he signed for the aforementioned Glin Rovers, but hopefully I'm wrong - a great talent.Quote:
