Jaros is off winning leagues in Austria and getting called up to Euros squads so we'd be doing well to!

With Anang I always gave him a bit of leeway because realistically he was only on loan to us and almost any player would take a club of Derby's stature over any LOI side. Maybe it wasn't handled the best, although maybe given that he's back that wasn't as much the case as it seemed. Either way he's actually a Pats player now which is an important distinction, and on a decently long contract to boot. Rogers is a relatively safe pair of hands but Anang is a different level, pleasantly surprised to see him return.

Jaros seems to have kicked on to another level this year, winning the Austrian League & Cup, making his senior Czech Republic debut and the squad for the Euros and earning a new contract with Liverpool. It’s fair to say he’ll never play at this level again.

On Anang's departure in 2022, reading all the quotes on it at the time, Clancy seemed to have nothing but good things to say about Anang even after he’d left, but noted that he was seemed to be badly advised by his agent so it wouldn’t surprise me if that was the club’s stance on it also. He may well have changed agent since then

Ah yeah, my Jaros comment was pie in the sky wishful thinking. I know Jaros is well out of our league now. As you say, Anang is an upgrade on Danny Rogers, so it’s good news. Hopefully this means Pitiluga is off back to Liverpool. Can’t see him having a hope in hell of making the grade there.

Junior Ogedi-Uzokwe heading to Galway….,

Alfie Taylor's loan from Hull to Pats has been ended. Didn’t play a single minute of league football (not injury related). Another terrific signing he turned out to be. I'd imagine Arran Pettifer will be released soon too, having also not played since getting sent off about 25 mins into his debut in a LSC game against St Mochta's

A couple of confirmed departures from Harps:

Sean O'Donnell - Hofstra University (USA)
Chris Lotefa - End of loan back to Bohs
Shane McMonagle - Released for personal reasons.

Is Gallagher leaving Drogheda?

Pats are after Danny Mandroiu although he has better financial offers in League One. Here’s hoping the friends/family/partner put a bit of pressure on to get him home ;) He’d be a brilliant signing for anyone in the league

https://www.thesun.ie/sport/13254169...eague-ireland/

I’d be amazed to see Danny back if he has offers in England

Disappointed to see Treatys longest serving and most exciting player Willie Armshaw leave the club,cant say i blame him as Barrett never trusted him ,constantly on the bench or at times bizzarely subbed off despite being the teams main threat in many games.Thanks for your service Willie a real fans favourite.

Bobby Burns has signed for gufc from Glentoran. The first of 3/4 new signings who will be eligible for next weeks fixture.

scored plenty of goals and assists with a team that were unlucky to not malke the playoffs following a late good run.
Would have decent offers for sure in the UK, At his age if he bins the UK off he is horribky badly advised (not withstanding i dont know anything about his personal circumstances)
Cant see it

Yeah he seems to have at least 6 League One offers. Kenny was asked about it in the press conference during the week and he says he expects him to remain in England too

Louie Annesley has left Dundalk to go to Braintree in the National League in England.

Hard to know what to make of him. Obviously he was seriously unlucky with the serious illness, poor chap could have died. He scored that wonder goal v Rovers last year and was Gibraltar's best player in Dublin but then again it's probably easy for a defender to look good in that team if they make a few blocks and tackles on the day compared to what's around them. It just never happened for him at Dundalk.

Ah he was poor overall, number 1 priority for a centre half is to win the ball, he was far too laid back, the classic SOD type to pass the ball around his own half or in his own box (both shouldn't count for stats), could pass a ball, but overall not good enough for LOI PD.

As a side note even in his 'home' patch he had a dreadful game away in Gibraltar last summer in Europe. Replacement due this week, on loan from Doncaster, hopefully a wee bit more of a **** brick house type !

"Two or three" new signings coming before the Galway game for Bohs according to Reynolds' interview after the game tonight. Only player I've seen linked so far is Alex Greive who is a New Zealand International attacker at St Mirren.

Danny Mandroiu and Greg Sloggett were in Richmond earlier, both having been linked to Pats recently. Absolutely no way I can envisage the former actually choosing to sign for us, but I could see Sloggett being fairly useful if it went through.

It'll be interesting to see who comes and goes in the next few weeks. It's great to see business being done early as well. That was a big issue at the start of the season.

Jimmy Keohane joins United - another of Caulfield’s ‘old boys’

Shane Farrell rumoured to be heading to Drogheda from Shels …..

Farrell is supposedly on a permanent, while Jad Hakiki is also rumoured to be heading to Drogs on loan. Also Elicha Ahui who was on loan at Drogs last year is rumoured to be signing back with them

Chris Lyon’s departs Longford,scored 2 goals in the first 13 minutes of the season but never scored again,injuries curtailed him a lot it seems…..

Galway Utd sign Junior Ogedi Uzokwe, he was previously with Dundalk, Bohs and Derry. Is he any good?

He was top scorer in the league at Derry a few years ago, or did I dream that? Doesn't seem to have ever found a club to stay at and play consistently thou.

He has flashes of good play for sure. IIRC though his big problem was always his attitude. He was pretty much frozen out of the squad towards the end of his time at bohs despite singing one of the famous "multi year deals". I think he's had just shy of 20 senior clubs in his career which is mental to think about! Even in this day and age where club loyalty is to a minimum

Al-Amin Kazeem has signed for Pats. Happy with that, I was only saying at the Pats Galway match last month that he’d be a good signing for Pats after impressing that night. First time having 2 left backs at the club in a number of years

He scored 14 goals to be top scorer that season and 3 of them came against a reserve Harps team on the last day getting ready for a playoff the next week,not the most impressive golden boot winner but always sounds good when he’s getting a move,which seems to be quite often!!!!!

Galway fans would know better but seems a great signing for us, on the few times I've seen them this season he's been impressive.

I like Anto Breslin but it's a bit ridiculous he's been the only senior left back at the club for the last couple of seasons, which were were punished for when he finally got injured over the last month or so. It's not like he's the best in the league or anything either, so it was necessary to get another body in there. Wouldn't be surprised if Kazeem takes his place quickly enough.

Woeful. Flash in the pan season at Derry and been crap everywhere else. Shows glimpses of being able to play football but fails to do so on a semi-regular basis. As Joey said, wouldn't have even got top scorer that season if Harps had put out half a side at all against Derry on the last game of the season.

He was terrible at Bohs in his spell there. Find it funny that Devine has bombed him out of two clubs now after also getting the best out of him at Derry.

He’s a modern day Dave Rogers looking at his club list. This is the 20th move of his career at age 30! It’s his 10th club in the last 5 years. Long live the journeyman!

Jad Hakiki joined Dundalk on a permanent basis.

Kerry FC confirm that Ferdia O'Brien, Evison Rramani and Steven Healy have left the club - no surprise about the last, it seems there were certain unspecified personal issues that arose between him and the coaching staff, which is why he gradually fell out of favour after a promising start, by contrast to Daire McCarthy. As for O'Brien, that has all the hallmarks of signing a KDL player simply for the sake of being seen to do so, given he literally didn't play a single minute in the league, and was only introduced in the MSC when the Treaty game was effectively over.

Rumours around saying Dylan Connolly going to Drogheda, possibly on loan. To be honest as much as I like him he has not been great this year and I don't think he'd be a big loss at this point. However I'd like him to pull his finger out and get back to his old form and stay. If he does go you'd wonder who will be his replacement? We do need some fresh blood and the Tierney signing was great to see but we still need 2 or 3 more with quality if we want to make an impact in the second half of the season.

Bohs sign Leigh Kavanagh, a centre half who was on the books of Brighton. Didn't think we were short of options there tbh.

Well Keita and Mills are both on loan, Carroll is 33,is also cover for LB and is just recovering from a serious knee injury, Cornwall is out for the season and I'm not sold on Cian Byrne personally. Good signing IMO and should mean that we're not forced to sign a loan army for the defence next year. Get a RB and a ST in and I think it's a great window for Bohs. Also the speed at which these deals are being done does point fingers at Devine being the one slowing down transfers before the start of the season.

Wouldn't be like Dennehy to fall out with a player.

Bohs sign Archie Meekison, a midfielder who was at Dundee United.
