Ah, now, don't be bitter

no problem admitting, i would have loved to see him at Rovers.

He is , by a considerable distance the best striker in the league- would have got a hatrick against Az last night, for example.

every club wanted him, and he stayed where he is. A sense of loyalty, or wanting to keep the taxi gig?

Judging by your other signings, cregg & peers,and potentially losing Hoare, lets just say I don't think Pats will be troubling the scorers.

Jeez, Christy staying at Pats really hurt you.

Best signing we could have made.

I don't understand why Stephen Kenny appeared to be disinterested in Christy Fagan - when he is fit he is clearly the best striker in the league.

Kenny has been remarkable in his player signings at Dundalk - I'll continue to trust his judgement

I find it hard to imagine that Dundalk wanted to sign Fagan but were unable to persuade him and/or meet his wage demands.

He's the best finisher in the league, by a comfortable margin. I don't know that I'd agree hes the best striker. I think Maguire has a better all around game.
Theres also the injury concerns with Fagan.

I think my teams player is better than another teams player.

You're not great at getting the point of things, are you WH.

Fagans all round game is very good. Also, he's done it consistently for 4/5 years. Maguire has had one good season. I wouldn't swap.

I don't blame you.

Fagan is the top striker in Ireland, by some distance.

**sbgawa** · 26/11/2016, 10:29 AM

Unfortunately being the best striker in our league is a prety low bar. He scored 10 league goals last season including 2 in the last match against dundalk reserves.
I would have liked him at rovers to but sean boyd is a fantastic prospect and I'M kinda happy at the prospect of seeing him mature next season.

**sbgawa** · 26/11/2016, 10:40 AM

And that's not bitterness btw boyd scored 5 goals in half as many starts and can only get better. Fagan would have been expensive for us paupers and is not going to suddenly become prolific.

Well I think my team's player is the exact equal of your team's player.

It's a fair point about the number and quality of the top strikers in the league.

**Charlie Darwin** · 29/11/2016, 6:52 PM

Fagan would be a top striker in better leagues than ours, in my opinion. Disappointed we didn't get him after the rumours but I'm not surprised he's stayed at Pats.

Kenny Shiels on Radio Foyle:
"Mark Timlim is close to signing.....I don't know if I'm allowed to say that." Gold!

**SFC16** · 01/12/2016, 5:33 AM

Ramblers keeping Donnelan and Matthew Whelan is huge great work done by Hendo and the club there, Shane O'Connor is gone- most likely to Bohs.

**Cosmo** · 01/12/2016, 6:14 AM

Griffin back for next season and we signed Conor Kane from Pats. Anyone know if Kane is any use? (he's only 17! We'll have a very young squad again next year)

Kane's 18. He started with Pats u17s and made the transition to the u19s. He's in the Ireland u19 squad for the last few months. He looks a great prospect. He made his senior debut in the 8-0 FAI Cup win over Pike earlier this year and I know everyone at Pats thinks he has a bright future

Paddy Barrett signs back for another year with The Town. Cork tried hard to get his signature and this is probably an indication that Andy Boyle is going to England.
