Two more polish players in talks with bohs atm, right full and left winger
Interesting that Poland is the market Bohs are going after for new players now. Before he left Long had been doing the same but with Scotland to mixed results.Quote:

Derry signed Paul McMullan from Dundee,was in the Scottish Championship team of the season so looks a decent signing
….
Sam Todd joining them aswell apparently….
McMullan appears to be a good signing on the face of it. Todd on the other hand is a bit of a strange one though, he hasn’t kicked a ball all season and even at his best I’m not sure he’d add much if anything to a team that has title aspirationsQuote:

There's been a bit of a drain in recent years and only so many youth players are ready for first team minutes by the time they're 19.
Stephen Meaney leaves Longford.
Read that Draper is going to Bohs, sorry the link wouldn't copyQuote:

Obviously he hasn't played this year alright and Derry seem to have enough of injured players already, so it's strange in that regard
Jordan Tallon departs Wexford
What’s the story with Dean Lyness ? He was brought in on short term deal to 30th June , anyone know if this will be extended ?
He was signed until the end of the season not JuneQuote:

Neither has appeared in squad or injury lists in the last weeks.
Wassim Aouachria is leaving Waterford. He hadn't started many games under Keith Long. Rumours on social media that he will be joining Galway.
Pity for Wassim that Coughlan came good. he hasn't had a chance since the start of the season, would rather he stayed as Coughlan is sure to disappear soon.
Vastsuk is training with the under 19s. Waste of space. Offered a bit of money just to leave but still staying around.Quote:

I suppose if he's contracted to the end of next year and Sligo offer to pay him to the end of this year, and he finds a new club in the current transfer window offering a similar contract, that'd be a win-win scenario.Quote:

Serge loaned out to Waterford. Very limited technically and doesn’t have any interest in defending but his sheer pace alone got him some important goals last season, none more so than the winner in Sofia. That pace could easily tear apart some first division defences so it’s a good signing for WaterfordQuote:

Incoming for us is David Norman Jr, Canadian centre back who was last with Northampton in League Two. Can't say I've seen anything of him but definitely an area of the pitch we needed another body in.
His father played for UCD in the 80s and also in the 1986 World Cup for Canada.
Was banned for match-rigging a few months after the World Cup
Vladislav Kreida confirmed to have left Pats……
Wasn't up to the pace of the game here at all, OK at taking corners but awful apart from that.Quote:

Three lads in this morning , Jay McGrath on permanent contract , Matt Boylan a goalkeeper that was last with Bromley , David Norman Jr a Canadian centre half last with Northampton.
Could understand a lower Premier team coming in for him but would be shocked at anything higher or abroad.Quote:

would take him at city in a heartbeat. his brother is still playing in NZ, wonder would one of the bigger clubs over there be looking at himQuote:

Atakayi is an odd one for me, both Idowu and Parsons are on form for us atm and Thomas Oluwa is sharp when he gets his chance, although the big RSC pitch would be ideal for Atakayi but that's about it.
Coughlan was rumoured to be Fleetwood bound but I just can't see him making much of an impact there considering Promise is a better striker overall for them.
But Wassim has left the club and moved to Galway United so I can see Coughlan handily moving to the premier league here which would leave us with virtually no strikers again if that were to happen.
Starting to see one or two people saying Lyness could be on his way also. He is in contract (said this himself on an interview on the LOI Central podcast recently) but if he needs to head home for family reasons I’d imagine the club won’t stop him from doing so. With Boylan signing it looks like at least 1 possibly 2 of the 4 goalkeepers could be on their way. I know Danny Rogers was linked with heading down to Cork but I’d say he could be kept on it Lyness was to leaveQuote:

If I was pat's I'd definitely be keeping him around regardless of Lyness staying or going. Look at a lot of even the top clubs in the league they've one decent keeper and then no competition. Rovers a prime example. If you can have two solid keepers you're in business
Yeah Rogers came in in August last season and did well in the run in. He had a few mistakes in pre-season and Clancy opted to start the first 2 games with Odumosu in goal, then Rogers broke his finger in the warmup vs Shels and Odumosu was the only option for the next 3 games which he continued to be poor in, so they managed to bring in Lyness who was a free agent and he’s played every minute since and been great (bar the odd goal he could’ve done better for like Dundalk’s on Monday)Quote:
