I don't really buy the hype over Dervin. I think he was found out at Shels last year as not up to Premier Division quality. He's a hard worker and a tough midfielder, but First Division is definitely his level.
We've no identity at the moment.Quote:

Seen a fair bit of Dervin. Thinks he's an extremely limited footballer. Rats around in midfield, decent engine, but very limited on the ball
He talks a good battle but doenst have the substance to match it!Quote:

O'Neill didn't get much game time, and didn't impress all that much really. I don't think they sorts of loans from English clubs is doing much good for this league or the players themselves.Quote:

Aside from that, we’ve Conor Carty on loan from Bolton until the end of the season and Vladislav Kreida on loan from Flora Tallin until the end of the season although I saw an article from Estonian media where their manager is quoted as saying he can be recalled by them up to a certain point and they’re considering doing so as they’re light in options in midfield. Kreida hasn’t featured much at all since Daly came in (even being left out of the matchday squad at times) so I wouldn’t be surprised if he did head back home which wouldn’t be a major loss at all to Pats as he’s been pretty average at best in his 11 appearances so farQuote:

Kenny and Poom are with us until the end of the season. Option to buy Poom is in there from what I've heard. Haven't heard anything about a recall option for Flora and I'd be hoping we keep him for Europe. He's been useful.Quote:

I see Daniel O’Reilly left Hamilton,could be a decent pick up for someone here….
Martin Coughlan joins Kerry from Treaty.
Without wanting to get anyone at Longford in trouble but can someone tell me what's going on with squad numbers?!
I'm trying to organise the squadlist for the next programme and it's not easy...
I know there's a fairly unprecendented injury crisis but is there also a jersey crisis that players can't just be given 'unique' squad numbers.
Beineon O'Brien-Whitmarsh has come in and it wearing #5 but that was previously worn by Oisin Hand.
Emmanuel James has been promoted from the u19s and I believe made his debut against us in the 1-0 win and was wearing #9, a number assigned to Cristian Magerusan. Magerusan however was back in the squad for the recent loss to Athlone and that night James was wearing #15 - a number assigned to Ciaran Hodanu. The following week Hodanu was back on the bench and Magerusan started to James wore #10, which has been worn by Gary Armstrong earlier in the season.
Another u19 graduate Gbolahan Adejumobi has been an unused sub in the last 3 matches but had the numbers 21 and 3 for those games.
There's a couple of other lads in the same boat mixing numbers and taking the jersey of someone injured. This is obviously a bit of a nightmare trying to provide the correct squadlist for the next match.
Strange one, Dervin put up on twitter that his loan with Longford was over, but that tweet has been deleted now. He might've jumped the gun?
LTFC confirmed it at some stage too but that appears to have been deleted also. Strange.
Treaty United can confirm that Martin Coughlan has departed the club to sign for Kerry FC.
Treaty making the announcement for Kerry!
Shels have signed up Conor Kearns again for next season. Great to have him tied down as he's been our POTY by a mile so far this year.
Kerryman hardly clarifying matters in their article, beyond Kerry saying that the announcement was news to them when they saw it, but it seems there will be a fair degree of turnover come July, with 4-5 players leaving, and the same number joining.Quote:

As players can't be signed until 1 July clubs can't announce that they've signed a player until then. Bad form by Treaty to announce the Coughlan signing really.
Whatever about announcing another club's player (I agree that’s bad form), there’s nothing stopping Kerry announcing it now. Bohs announced several signings last season in June and just mentioned “X player will officially become a Bohs player from 1 July”Quote:

Blackburn making moves for Ferizaj.
Does anyone know what has gone on behind the scenes with Ferizaj this year? He was sensational when he broke through last year.
He’s barely had any minutes this year compared to last, and Bradley has just made 1 or 2 vague comments about him needing to improve.
The article mentions his contract might be up at end of 23, so Rovers won’t get much for him. Real shame… because he’s worth a lot!
I’m guessing Rovers were trying to get him on a long term deal but he wouldn’t sign and so they kept him out of the team until he signed? But maybe it’s become obvious now that he’s running his contract down so they’ve decided to cash in whatever they can?
Is he really that good? I never fully bought the hype that people were going on with last year.Quote:

I’ll caveat that by saying there’s been tonnes of lads with talent who end up wasting it - we’ve all seen lots of them - so there’s no guarantee Ferizaj has all the other qualities needed to make the most of his career. But he has no shortage of quality that’s for sure.
Rovers terrible start to the season and then the neccessity to win matches mitigated against giving youmgsters time but i expect him to heavily feature once Europe starts assuming we get a run as well as Noonan and Cruise.Quote:

As far as I know Kreida has been gone for a couple of weeks already, seems he became unfancied quite quickly under Daly. Had some nice moments but he was astonishingly unable to keep up with the pace of games so I'm not surprised there wasn't huge interest in keeping hold of him.Quote:

Came back from the off season out of shape with a bit of an attitude adjustment needed from what I've heard. Still well regarded but sounds like some of the hype got to his head. Has been featuring a bit more lately and did very well when he came on v UCD. He also has more competition this season as Conan Noonan is playing again and does a similar job.Quote:

Tony McNamee signed back at Harps,last at Bonagee and signed until the end of 2024.
Brilliant news. Always put in a good shift for us and has the quality few others have in the teamQuote:
