Dont think Ive ever heard of that type of injury before, that ligament would be so small I doubt it could be operated on like an ACL so would have been hard to sort. Kelleher has been super scorned if he is opening the pockets to the point of paying transfer fees, who'd have been the last few players St Pats have paid a fee for out of interest?
Martin Rennie was the last in 2020. He was a striker signed from Scottish league one club Montrose who said it was a five figure sum. 11 appearances and 0 goals later and he was released before the end of the season and signed back for Montrose who were only without him for a handful of games in the end due to covid. A master stroke signing recommended by Pat Cregg who played with him and clearly has a horrendous eye for a player ;)Quote:

Looks like Dawson Devoy is on his way to Mk Dons too. Big loss for Bohs and the league in general

Certainly up there as one of the worst strikers ever for Pats. He is the Pats hall of shame alongside such alumni as Martin Garratt , Donal Broughan & Marcus Hallows along with many many more.Quote:

Losing Devoy is a real killer for Bohs. He already looked the part but I was expecting him to really take off this season and cushion a lot of the blow of the other departures.
Indeed. The best thing about SOD leaving Pats is that he took Cregg with him. Could never forgive the Rennie recommendation. Possibly the worst player I’ve ever seen in a Pats shirt, and we paid a bloody fee !!!Quote:

Dawson Devoy of to MK Dons,pretty big loss for Bohs that….
Yoyo Mahdy has joined us,don’t know much about him tbh…
Yoyo Mahdy has joined Finn Harps from Shels. Timing seems a bit odd. It was announced previously that he was signed for 2022
Not a bad player but his form does be up and down.Quote:

At least I hope so..
Does that leave shels with only Sean Boyd as a forward option? They look very light in attack at the moment. Anyone linked with going to them?
I see Ryan Cassidy is looking like he’s going to Bohs on loan from Watford until the summer. He’d have been one that shels could’ve done with IMO
They signed Dan Hawkins who was on loan at us last season aswell,he's not bad,a bit lightweight but not someone they'll be hanging their hat on to score goals....Quote:

Looked a smart energetic player last season but he was another one that Morris never seemed keen on and played him on the wing a few times, then he had a mid season injury all which limited his appearances
Drogs have re-signed Mark Hughes - good player but was very unlucky with two injuries last season.
We also signed Keith Cowen centre back formerly from Harps more recently Dungannon Swift’s.
That’s a strange one about Cowan. Left Harps as he didn’t like the mileage associated with the LOI so went to the Irish League.Quote:
