2026 Transfer Window

Derry cutting out the middle man with that one, they usually love a signing from the likes of Dundee.

Good addition for them. From the outside looking in it feels like Clarke was often filling holes at Bohs rather than playing in his best position due to the make-up of the squad. Probably a no-brainer for him to go to a side that have been better in recent times, will play him where he wants as well as pay him a wedge. He's a bit like a turbo-charged Kian Leavy, great ball-carrier but also has some end product to him and natural athleticism.

I know English/Scot windows haven't opened yet so maybe they will go down that route yet but I'm hoping with the signings they are making so far that Derry have learned you won't win this league with a bunch of British journeymen, they've signed really well from within the league which is what dundalk and Rovers success over last decade was built off

It's a big blow for us both Ger. Assumed he was heading our way when Scotland didn't happen.

Difficult to admit, but Rovers would have been a much better option for him as a footballer.

Some crazy weekly wage being rumoured for Clarke

Below is the Bohs squad so far. It looks like we are going to be heavily dependent on Tierney and Devoy being fit every week with additional European games thrown in. DJT was injured far too often to count on him every week. It's certainly not a squad to threaten the front runners in the league. A couple of young lads singed pro contracts and unless they are the exception to the rule probably won't feature
Rovers are Rovers always strong
Derry are signing well and will be stronger
Shels found form are playing well and will be up there. That leaves us scrambling for fourth with Waterford who have strengthened, Pats who could beat us today and loose against us in the next game. Drogheda who can punch above their weight. Or maybe scrambling with the other three to avoid relegation. We need to see quality arrive and soon.
Chorazka

Flores, Kavanagh, Okedina, Byrne 🆕Todd

Tierney, Devoy, Morahan, McManus, McDonnell, 🆕Hickey
Rooney, Parsons, Brennan

Whelan, James Taylor

We are certainly inconsistent alright. I still think we have the bones of a decent squad. Need to add to midifield probably, though Romal Palmer coming back from injury should help. In defence Boyce should be a good signing, though we'll need back up with both Axel and Ryan McLoughlin moving. Anto Breslin fell badly out of favour, but seems to be in pre season training, so maybe he'll stay. Still a good left back in my view. A lot will depend on how Aidan Keena and Max Mata get on upfront, and on the wingers. No word of Jake Mulraney moving, so if he stays hopefully he can play to his potential. We also should have Zak Elbouzedi to come back, although there seems something strange there to me. He was out for a long time for a shoulder injury.

We'd turn him into a wingback in no time!

From what I hear we were definitely in for him so Derry must have offered a very large deal. Suppose he might also be guaranteed minutes a little bit more there and maybe that was on his mind, but with Mandriou out for a long time I think he would've played quite a bit with us too.
