Foley gone to Blackpool on a one month loan: http://www.blackpoolfc.co.uk/news/ar...h-1385117.aspx

Is he available for selection for us again? I thought he was but it kind of indicated he wasn't in today's Irish Daily Mail.

Back at Wolves after Blackpool elected not to extend his loan.

Interesting article, jeez Trap seems to have been really bad at communicating while Tardelli is portrayed as a bit of a b*****d. Worth a read!

With a mere eight caps to show for six years of service and turning up without question when called upon, I don't think anyone would hold it against Foley for feeling hard done-by due to the lack of fore-warning given or for turning down later call-ups as a matter of principle and upholding self-respect - understandably, he didn't want to appear like a "mug" - but it was a difficult call that needed to be made by Trap at short notice. McDonnell's piece claims they'd been trying to contact Foley by phone before resorting to getting the room's master key and barging in in desperation with the deadline approaching. Were they trying him on his mobile? Surely the hotel room had a landline?

I think Foley acknowledges the difficult position Trap was in. Whatever about Tardelli being pushy, it is clear that he bears no personal grudge against Trap, who was apologetic and similarly upset by the whole episode. It's very easy for Foley to say in hindsight that potential injury concerns (of O'Shea, Dunne and O'Dea) that never worsened or materialised weren't worth the original worry. At least he's not bitter though and still harbours an ambition of returning to the squad at some point in the future. How realistic that hope is, though, I'm not sure.

Is off to FC Copenhagen apparently?

Yeah. The Copenhagen manager previously managed Wolves. Looks like it's a done deal.

Interesting, good to see an Irish player go to a continental league and to a good team too. Nice to see Foley get a break after all the disappointment he's had too.

**NeverFeltBetter** · 12/01/2015, 1:03 PM

It's been a while since I've read/seen anything on the Danish league. I know UEFA ranks the league just ahead of Scotland and Copenhagan have a very decent CPL pedigree in the last ten or so years. It's good to see an Irish player make the transition to such an environment.

**CraftyToePoke** · 12/01/2015, 5:25 PM

Fair play to him, interesting move. Should see a bit of European game time with them too if it holds.

**tetsujin1979** · 30/01/2015, 2:25 PM

Made his debut last weekend in a friendly: http://www.fck.dk/nyhed/2015/01/24/3...ningspremieren
According to Google translate

The third newcomer player, Kevin Foley, did exactly what was expected at right-back, where he played precocious and experienced and solved its task solid. He was also promoting a few times and challenge at Br�nsh�j court.

Copenhagen are playing Dynamo Moscow in the opening game of The Atlantic Cup tonight - http://www.theatlanticcup.com/ - but I don't know if there's coverage anywhere

**Irwin3** · 31/01/2015, 1:47 PM

According to this http://www.theatlanticcup.com/fixtur...ynamo-vs-koben he came on in the 69th minute and came off in the 75th minute. No luck with injuries these past few years.

**Irwin3** · 11/02/2015, 6:52 PM

Thankfully it was only a minor shoulder problem and Foley played 64 mins and 45 mins in their next two friendlies. Their league season resumes on the 22nd February so hopefully he can stay fit and get into the team.

**DeLorean** · 12/02/2015, 12:57 PM

What kind of cash is he on I wonder? He'd need at least 100k per week to make ends meet in that place!

**Irwin3** · 16/03/2015, 9:02 PM

Foley made his debut yesterday for Copenhagen coming on for the last minute in their 1-0 win over Esbjerg. They are currently 2nd in the league, 9 points behind FC Midtjylland with 12 games to go. They are also in the semi-finals of the cup. Hopefully for him he can stay injury-free and enjoy his time in Denmark.
