Nice to see Okwute go back to where he came from. Must have been a dose for Billy Dennehy to see him lining out against him for Harps.
He didn't last very long at Stockport, just 9 months. Hopefully he kicks on now.

Hopefully he can kick on. Coughlan and Okwute are decent signings for Kerry.Quote:

It is bugbear of mine when full backs get shoved into a wing back role as if its the same, it is a very specialist role. Just look at Matt Doherty for example, his career crumbled when he was forced to be a full back at Spurs after being an excellent wing back at Wolves
Former Brentford FC goalkeeper Lee Axworthy has also signed for Kerry.
Ah no wonder Brentford let him go, brilliantly apt surname for any player that gets dropped ;)Quote:

Never looked interested when he played for HarpsQuote:

Matt Healy who was on loan at Cork from Ipswich, has signed for Royal Francs Borains, a club that have just been promoted to the second tier in Belgium
He walked by me in the tunnel the other night , doesn't look like a fella carrying weight. He's obviously not going to be at peak fitness after 6 months off, red card looked harsh to me, Hery has been through a tough time personally over last year or so, I'm willing to give him a chance, he's probably on buttons with us.Quote:

Huge loss for us but a great signing by the FAI ( assuming he’s given support and finance). Will be interesting to see who replaces him.
Anyway always better to have a top notch individual for a few years before they move on to something bigger/better …. Than be stuck with ‘deadwood’ Thanks Shane
This 100% , really dissapointed to see him leave.
Hopefully he can bring his ability to an organisation very short on ability.
Start with the fact that none of their coaches are available Sat/Sun when the kids play because they are on Monday to Friday contracts.......
Worst mistake the FAI made during the crises was not getting rid of them all and giving the clubs the saleries saved (or even 50%).
If they were any good they would get jobs with the clubs....but it wouldnt be Monday to Friday.
Brilliant news by Waterford FC in recent days. Academy players Romeo Akachukwu (16) and Irish Youth international Jason Healy (17) signed long term contracts.
Bogdan Vastsuk confirmed to have left Sligo Rovers,judging by the reaction on Twitter he was a bad egg…..
any sligo itks care to let us know what went on? never seen a fan base so happy to lose a playerQuote:

Terrible attitude. Didn’t try a jot when he did play. Refused to warm up one day. Liked posts on twitter when we lost games. Good riddance.Quote:

Brilliant bit of business, he has become the flagship player that I thought Matt Keane would be.Quote:

Badly needed a goalkeeper, Paul Martin simply isn't good enough this season, surprisingly.
Good to see Shels hire a FT academy coach. Not sure if he is the first but it is definitely something we need far more of across the league.
Don’t Croly and Sexton do this at Bohs?Quote:

Matt Connor suffered an injury just before the season kicked off, never got a look in since.
Wayne Guthrie has left the Kerry FC squad.
Wayne Guthrie has departed Kerry. Has to be more than meets the eye there.
He almost broke Colin Kelly's leg at the Markets Field and hobbled off a bit after making the tackle, I think Billy/club said he was injured but I don't see how especially when Colin Kelly miraculously played 72 hours later.
A number of players were dropped after one particular game and they haven't played since. Some people were questioning the gaffer criticising the players but he seems to have been right.Quote:

Looks like Conor Winn will come back in now. Hallahan was dependable enough but had his drawbacks of course.Quote:
