It could create the possibility of Daniel Kelly and Dylan Connolly competing for the right wing position. Two real speedsters - hopefully at least one of them can actually play football
Well the one we already have can’t so it all rests on Kelly.
https://www.independent.ie/sport/soc...-37650612.htmlDundalk also believe they have won the race to sign Daniel Kelly from Bohemians ahead of Shamrock Rovers and St Patrick's Athletic who made a late offer.

AFC Wimbledon apparently interested in taking Dylan Connolly, and a few would be due as he is under contract. That would be a strange move considering he isn’t good enough for the Dundalk team but I would gladly take any fee for him.
I don't think footballing ability is really what people look for in Connolly. He's really fast, which goes a long way in a hoofball league like League One.
The kelly signing makes more sense now if they have been able to get him off the books.
I doubt it's a money issue but you can have too many players
Dundalk may have plenty of players, but that right side / wing has been a position that has caused problems in terms of getting a player to consistently deliver and to nail it down.
This is a good opportunity now for young Daniel Kelly.

Darren Meenan is free...
There's a real lack of quality specialist right wingers in the whole league tbf, we're in a similar boat where the squad is actually shaping up very nicely outside of the fact that we've not got a single player whose primary position is there. Apparently we made Kelly an offer last minute but that was obviously more than a long shot.
Good player, bags of pace and 200% self belief. Not sure he would get into Dundalk starting X1 but his pace gives him a real basis to improve.
Sorry to see him leave Dalymount as he was an exciting player but far from the finished article.
Andy Boyle's loan period ends at Dundee. Although he is contracted on a lucrative deal at Preston till this summer, inevitable speculation has already kicked off about him returning early to LoI

will this be another case of the unique dundalk economic trading policy whereby they let a player go for nothing and then buy him back again for a fee a year later...
Shamrock Rovers- Where trophies are won and envy is scarce
i will bite...By saying 'letting a player go' you imply that we wanted rid of the player and that was never the case as you know PC. Out of contract and wanting to move to the more lucrative UK leagues and us hence not able to re-sign would be a better description, getting the opportunity to sign a player back if you have the means and strengthen the squad then so be it. In this case if Boyle's contract ends and if we want him back there wont be a transfer fee. While he has an Ireland cap he hasnt retired from international football yet so that would rule out Rover's interest!
Andy Boyle would be a great addition to any team who wants to do well in Europe.
He didn't put a foot wrong in 2016 European campaign. I am disappointed for him that he didn't make it in the UK, but I suspected that would be the case.
His game is far more suited to other European leagues.
We paid sfa to get solid ballers back to Dundalk.will this be another case of the unique dundalk economic trading policy whereby they let a player go for nothing and then buy him back again for a fee a year later...
Hoban - goals won us the league title this year.Equals loi goal scoring record.
McEleney - terrific player,won us the cup,Dundalk do the double.
Happy new year.xx
It is understandable why some would regard re-signing former players as a flawed policy - especially if your club count Aaron Greene and Ronan Finn among a long line of prodigal disappointments who have failed to spark any success on their return.
However, Andy Boyle would likely be a fantastic addition to any ambitious League of Ireland club
Flailed transfer in policy in general so far with the likes of Gilchrist signed over Cleary, we shall soon see if things have changed this season. Every LoI club should want Boyle, whether we have a slot in the squad is a question but seeing as we are signing up players just for the sake of it well we might as well give him a go!
I knew memories were short up in Louth, think we all know the cause no need for me to say it, but to be that short to have forgotten stuff explained not even a month ago, that's impressive.

Oh go on do remind us again! We do like a laugh at delsusions of granduer (and a dose of hyprocisy while we are at it!!). The memory quotient of all league of ireland fans lasts as long as their most recent title contending team team, business failure, lack of ground facility or the gifting of one! We all have a special talent for selective memory!!
Enjoy the New Year celebrations all. Let it be another black and white dominated year and win across all competitions !!
Chris Forrester to Dundalk rumour doing the rounds again, but I can't see him leaving Aberdeen while under contract to come back to LOI.
