It has a reputation for being very accurate generally.Quote:

That article also says "Stoke have also sent 18-year-old centre-back Freddie Anderson out on loan to Ireland, where he will play for Cork City for the season" so I think we can take it the McGuinness move isn't a loan or it would have been called out too.Quote:

It was originally due to be a permanent transfer, as I understand it, but due to some sort of contract issue with his Stoke release, it was eventually done as a loan.Quote:

The current 'misunderstanding' about the cost of the ground / what would be delivered with the previously announced target is a little more important.
Obligatory joke about the 28 year old new signing being a bit young for Derry, one for the future, etc.
Pat Hoban heading to Glentoran for an undisclosed fee,Kevin Holt also departing according to the Derry Journal…
Just realised Hoban is 34 in a couple of weeks. I had thought he was a few years younger than thatQuote:

Yes the years caught up on him, he was 32 when he left Dundalk, what a brilliant servant he was over 8 split seasons, missed 2015-2017 period including the highs of EL 2016 group stage journey as he was in League 2 in Eng, even now still think that was a crazy move, Oxford U / Mansfield.
Looking at his career, I just noticed he was released by Mansfield in the summer of 2017 but was out of the game for 6 months before returning to Dundalk ahead of the 2018 season. Was there a reason for that half season out of the game? Maybe waiting for another offer from a UK club or was it injury related?Quote:

Kevin Holt's missus isn't settled and wants to go back to Scotland. Would be disappointed to see him go, but we'd have a huge chunk of extra wages to use.
What were your expectations for him if being joint top goalscorer in the league wasn’t reaching potential?Quote:

Still goes to show where Kerry are now that they can get lads on loan from EFL clubs and obviously house them. Very few other FD clubs wiould be able to do that.
Harps have signed Brazilian keeper Lorenzo Piaia who was last playing in the fifth tier in Spain. At last the transfer window has delivered the exotic random signing we all love :)

15 goals in 37 games in 2024, three of which were penalties. One goal from eight this season, a penalty.Quote:

This season, I thought himself and Boyce up front would be a great team, but he's barely played.
He's wasted a year and a half at us, and it's our own fault.
Fair enough, he’s only scored 20 or more league goals twice in his career though so doing that at 32/33 was unlikely. From an outsiders point of view he did pretty much exactly what I expected he would do last year, knock in 15 goals and become top goalscorer in the league.Quote:

John O'Sullivan gone to Drogs from Rovers on loan till seasons end.
He played a few times in the league this year and looked very, very capable.
If he scores the winner against the bozos in weeks to come he'll get a heros welcome back to tallaght at seasons end :)
He is a decent player that woudl start for a lot of teams in the Prem but its tough for youngsters to break into the first team at Rovers with seasonede pros available, our injury record this season is so much better than last season as well so that doesnt help the kids.
And if he could score aginst Bohs Ala Conan Noonan for Waterford he will be a poular guy
Midfielder Jordan Rossiter (28), released by EFL 1 side Shrewsbury Town, has signed for Waterford. He had a one-year contract at Shrewsbury, but suffered an early season injury and made just 15 EFL 1 appearances. He was then loaned to non-league Oldham and helped them gain promotion. (Shropshire Star, 15 July)
Kevin Zefi playing for us in a friendly against Mansfield tonight
zefi showing up at sligo.... maybe these young lads should stick to going to england over italy!
I see Jamie Mullins has joined Wycombe,will see how he goes, feels like so many of these lads are better of developing domestically than running off at the first opportunity.
Sam Curtis ran his contract down to have options but because Sheff U got him cheap it was easy for them to toss him to the side after 6 months, youd hope the Mason Melia route of forcing a club to pay more meaning the players new club has more of a vested interest in their development.
You think Spurs wouldn't chuck a one million pound player aside in 6 months? It's like Godolphin buying horses for a million quid and selling them off for 5 grand a few months later, they don't give it a second thoughtQuote:

Ayman Ben Mohmamed has two African Champions Leagues and 14 caps for Tunisia
Evan Ferguson is going through a rough patch but starting and scoring in so many premier League games is a success in my booksQuote:
