Niall O'Keefe signed for Cobh Ramblers
Great signing, Cobh could be shaping up to be dundalks main challenger, although the new gaffer could just as easily be gone in a few months, should be a fun seasonQuote:

Cobh really going for it
Cobh throwing the cheque book at it again.
They're hardly marquee signings
Agreed, they’re Cork/Munster based lads that have been deemed not good enough by their clubs in most cases, where else would they go?Quote:

Don't know about that. They're two excellent signings for any First Division team. Griffin was excellent for Waterford, and then last season at Bray and O'Keefe played 19 games in the Premier last season with Waterford and is a big enough signing for a promotion chasing side.
Cobh are definitely throwing a bit of money at it this year, but their business so far has been very good. The biggest question is their choice of manager, but how he does remains to be seen.
Don’t get me wrong, they are very good signings for any first division club. I meant that the likes of Murphy, O'Keeffe etc have been let go by premier division clubs and if they’re looking at first division offers, Cobh makes a lot of sense geographically for them which is a big plus that other FD clubs mightn’t have, meaning they probably wouldn’t have had to throw as much cash as is being suggested at signing them. I guess I’m saying, when I saw Cobh signed them, my thinking was more ‘very good signing, makes sense’, rather than ‘very good signing, how they hell did they get him, must be throwing mad money at it’. At most they’ve probably beaten off maybe Wexford, Treaty, Kerry for these lads? None of which are exactly rolling in cashQuote:

Cian Coleman won’t be back at Cork City next season

Interesting choice to let your captain go. Not sure how good or bad of a player he is but you would wonder what affect letting him go has on the dressing room as a whole.Quote:

In fairness Coleman has had 4 full seasons as a first team player in the Premier Division, one was a bang average year with Pats, and the other 3 he was relegated in each. I can’t say I’ve seen a whole lot of him in the last few years bar Cork’s games against Pats in 2023 but it’s safe to say that history doesn’t bode well for a future at PD level for him. He’d be a good signing for most if not all FD clubs though
I’d be happy enough if I was a Cork fan,him going through how well Corks season went in the first division last year was fairly pointless,he’s not good enough for the Premier division and they’re correct to be ruthless…..Quote:

Suits all parties really. He’ll fit into that Drogheda team a lot better than he did the Pats one. Wish him all the best, by all accounts he’s a good lad and wasn’t one to throw the toys out of the pram when he was dropped when Kenny came in.Quote:

Valeri Dolia signs for Treaty. Don't think he kicked on at Kerry much after Athlone. Probably still a decent signing for them all the same
