We signed Romal Palmer on loan from Turkish side Göztepe. A midfielder with EFL Championship experience at Barnsley.
Looks a good signing
Palmer is a good age at 25 and the 70 championship appearances before moving to turkey a year and a half ago isn’t bad pedigree at all.
Cork have signed Niall Brookwell, Centre back/defensive midfielder that was on trial with pats a couple of weeks ago. Ex Newcastle u21s that was most recently with Workington AFC
Just saw a stat on Twitter about the Lincoln City and Fleetwood Town League 1 match today. Just the eleven ex LOI players involved in the matchday squads. Sign of the times etc but that’s surely a record
Palmer looks a strong signing on paper, but as always will have to actually see him play before getting too carried away. Did some light research and saw that he played a lot of games for Barnsley the season they got to the playoff final, and did the same the following season only their manager had been poached and they subsequently fell off a cliff and got relegated. Still and all got offered a new deal there only to opt to move to Turkey instead. Decent pedigree so will be interesting to see how he gets on.
Yeah looks a decent signing on paper. It’s a bit strange that he didn’t get a move back to England at some level with his Barnsley experience. Perhaps the idea of European football appealed to him. It’s an ace that our clubs have over a lot of English clubs. As big a club as Barnsley etc are they will never compete in Europe ever.
Grant Horton on his way to LOI premier club on a permanent transfer. HHHMMM wonder which one?
Waterford probably with the way things have gone lately.Quote:

Could've said the same for Radkowski. When Radkowski signed for Waterford j don't think Cornwall was signed either.Quote:

Looks like Max Mata is coming back as well
Be a big one for youse that….Quote:

Dundalk have signed goalkeeper George Shelvey on a permanent basis from Nottingham Forest and defender Zak Johnson on loan from Sunderland
Loan I assumeQuote:

I hope there isn't some stupid low level release clause in McManus' contract that has resulted in that move, but if there isn't a release clause Bohs have very little options available in the LOI for central midfield so maybe they are paying a good transfer fee to Shels
It's not an impactful loss for Shels as I think his game time would be constrained again this season, great lad who has ability and an engine but never got a solid consistent run in the Shels starting XI to go up a level often picking up niggly knocks
We were linked with him before he signed for Shels as well if I am remembering correctly. This probably means that James McManus will be sold during the summer once he's back fit.Quote:

Seems like a sensible move all round. Havent seen enough of him at Sligo to get a sense on hwether he really is up to L1 rather than a hopeful punt by Shrewsbury. He has had plenty of game time since his move with little return so probably suffering the dreaded low confidence striker stuff, makes snse to go back to where he brimed with confidence. If it clicks again it changes the picture for Sligo a good bit.Quote:

Not sure it jumps is up the table much but look a little less vulnerable from being basement dwellers. If Shelvey is Sheppard MII then not too bad at all - Wonder what Burton had to say about that permanent transfer?
Brian McManus confirmed to Bohs now
and Horton to Waterford

Mentioing Duff, he will be under some proper pressure this season for the 1st time as a manager with expectation of fans and even moreso owners - be interestng to see how he reacts, up the ante on refs or more scuffles in player tunnels as deflection from a poor performance, saluting opposition fans etc. Predictions on how many games he'll spend in the stand? Ollie and JC will spend some time in the comfortable seats also, O'Donnell a game or 2 probably, Bradley could unless Rovers are fast out of the traps. Doherty can have moments. The rest can hold their tongues.
Keith Long brought him to Bohs and always had good things to say about him. I think that would have helped him make his decision. Probably money tooQuote:

Gideon Tetteh joined Athlone on loan from Shamrock Rovers.
That's disappointing I'd hoped he would get some game time when gaffney was getting a rest.Quote:

The club just put out a video that he’s gone back to Arizona on “compassionate leave “ indefinitely,hopefully it’s nothing too serious and he’s back soon but if he’s not any expectations for us can be downgraded significantly ..Quote:
