I wonder where he’ll go to get regular football? Dundalk maybe or up north…..

It probably depends if he staying full time or not as well. He had a spell with Bray in the past so that could be another option.

Its an unpopular opinion, but he is very overrated. Plays like Aaron Connolly or Szmodics.... Lots of running around and looking busy over end product.

McLaughlin, Turner, Breslin and the like are OK but they just don't impact games enough and are too limited to be starting regularly for a team with those aims. Have loved Grivosti in his time here but I think he looks shot to be honest, maybe it was the last big injury but this season he's been a shell of his former self. He looked like he could barely move in that semi final.

I think we have around 16 or so under contract, so agree it's more about getting those handful of incomings correct rather than an overhaul being possible. I liked Robinson but he only got limited minutes so tough to call really. Have seen we've been linked to Conan Noonan and Val Adedokun in the last couple of days, not sure how likely either is given their contract situations but I'd be happy enough with either happening.

Whos Val Adedokun as never heard of him before?

Former Dundalk youth. Left for Brentford.
