He's the top prospect in the league IMO. Not that you'd guess it from watching SR.Quote:

Very few miles on the Clough too.Quote:

McEleney would be a great replacement for Burke but I think we can all safely rule it out.
Would be a fantastic signing.
Oldham are desperate you'd have to think so he could be on the cheap or even no fee.....they got him for nothing after all so it's not like they are losing out.
Georgie Kelly would be a much more important signing, as an alternative for Hoban is crucial.Quote:

Adorjans contract in Italy expires end of July and his situation has a bearing. McGrath is the current first choice no 10.
McEleney would be an exciting signing for any LOI team, but fitness would be an issue in terms of impact in this current season
The absence of a fee to Dundalk, simply improved the players negotiation ability and he is likely to have received a hefty signing-on fee.Quote:

As mentioned by a few others, we have decent cover in that area now, McGrath has been first choice, but Adjoran is a real option in that spot now (or anywhere else across the middle) , and he seems to be getting better and better by the week, outstanding display last week v Limerick and made real impacts away to Bohs & Derry, and has started to find the net too. Noticed last week is he comfortable on both feet, scored with left, made last goal with his right. As much as good players always improve any squad, for me I`d be prioritising trying to get Adjoran on a permanent deal after end of July over McEleney, maybe they still might go for him, but not with a transfer fee.
Georgie Kelly appears to be a done deal, excellent signing if correct as Hoban is unlikely to play every game for the rest of the season, nothing confirmed from the club on this yet. Dundalk also linked with Dylan Watts, Rovers also I think.
Neil O’Riordan was suggesting today that Kelly could remain at UCD on loan until the end of the season in order to get UCD to do the deal.
Whats the incentive for Dundalk there? Could they not just sign a pre contract in that situation? Or are they worried about another Shep scenario?Quote:

All the signs were there in fairness, woodwork teachers probably should not be spending double classes lecturing students on the facts of life through parallel and sometimes contradictory metaphors.Quote:

I assume they would prefer to avoid the hassle and unknowns of a compensation award.Quote:

With Burke off to Preston I'm looking forward to a MOTM performance and a couple of goals against Limerick :)
Can players be recalled from a loan?
It is possible that Dundalk might let Kelly go on loan and recall him should Hoban pick up an injury.
However, that would be an satisfactory arrangement for everyone. is there any concrete evidence that it is being seriously considered or is it pure journalistic speculation?
You cant recall a player from a loan and play him before the next window.
One obvious reason for Dundalk to do it (sign and loan back) would be to prevent another LOI club or English club being able to sign him, i'e grab him now.
With the resources Dundalk have I can't imagine the compo to UCD will be an issue.
Loans have to be a minimum of one transfer window afaik.
Kenny Shiels thinking big or an attempt to divert attention from a poor run of form and disastrous recruitment over the winter?

Maybe both. Can't see it happening.Quote:

Tbf Derry's transfer record indicates he'd have Championship clubs queing up for him either way. But, aye, no reason for him to make that move unless there's a personal factor.Quote:

Clubs and managers throw out these wild transfer claims often as a smokescreen for actual targets. Expect the unexpected signing of Cristiano Ronaldo hence!! Dundalk isnt so far from Derry that Duffy would absolutely have to move for personal reasons. He is playing well in a team challenging for the league and with European football, the club is seriously trying to address the 'free' player drain so contracts offered have to be decent, hopefully CL football next season too. These wont ward off the lure of the money available in the English Championship but it should other League of Ireland teams.
If Derry throw in a good offer for Duffy Dundalk may be forced to raise their own. Which could in turn help Derry secure another target they may be competing with Dundalk for.
Or it could be just signalling ambition to their support. Or maybe that mal's a mentaller.
That would be a weird and dangerous approach, if it was intended to be a strategyQuote:

LMFM are reporting that Patrick McEleney has re-signed for Dundalk on a two year deal.
great signing ...the strength of your squad is getting scary
Conor Clifford supposed to have left Limerick, only 80 days after signing.
As is the cost!!Quote:

Michael Duffy’s agent looks to be flat out. Couldn’t see this happening, if he’s not at Dundalk next year then I’d say he’ll be in England.
Agreed. And I'd say it's more likely England than Dundalk.Quote:

If Dundalk are paying McEleney 2k per week a signing on fee of 20k and a Ł50 transfer fee to Oldham for a guy who left for free in January the world has officially gone mad.
The same fee amount for Duffy would mean these two players over the next year would cost Dundalk around 300k , that's a lot of a Europe run money gone unless it involves group stages.
I find it hard to believe but it is the mirror I suppose
