Be better fun if they were signing their actual contract and people could see details of it
Dundalk have signed Karolis Chvedukas, a Lithuanian midfield player.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karolis_Chvedukas
He was part of the Suduva team that got to the 4th Qualifying Round of last year's Europa League too. A good bit of business having another player with that level of game under his belt. Another Lithuanian team went very far in the EL last year too, Trakai, who knocked out St Johnstone, MacMillan's new club. Zalgiris beat Pats a few years back too. Their National team might be muck awful but their clubs aren't too bad given the size of the country and the fact that basketball is the dominant sport everybody is into there. Good signing all round for Dundalk.
And don't forget about the other important signing today, Georgie Poynton, scorer of the only goal the last time a Dundalk player beat Cork.........................just a pity he wasn't actually playing for us that night !
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
Yeah , Georgie did a good job for us last year Good luck to him back in Dundalk
Eoin Wearen is rumoured to be training with the club that cannot be mentioned. Ex Boh's and Sligo I believe.
Any good?
Strange post.
Interesting signing, hard to know how good he is until he starts playing but its always interesting to see players come in from outside the usual channels. As mentioned Kalounas was brilliant, if this guy is 80% the player he was then Dundalk have done well. Look forward to seeing him at the Presidents cup game.
Wearin is a a classy centre mid, was supposed to be signing up for another season but the club seem to have opted for Buckley instead. Would be sorry to see him leave Bohs. Having said, that he missed almost all of last season with an ACL injury, so not sure how that has affected him.
He has all the raw talents to be a very good CM, but just never seemed to impose himself enough. Also has a bad knack of picking up serious injuries. He missed almost all last season - he made a sub appearance in the last game of the season at Dalyer if I remember correctly. I think he also missed a whole season a couple of years back with a broken leg.
Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!
Are the updated squads anywhere?
In an interview with Paul O'Hehir in the Irish Mirror, Stephen Kenny confirms the significant financial realities between the top end of League of Ireland and the lower end in England
https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/soc...e-top-11825151“We did everything to keep him but ultimately we’re still not competing financially with clubs at the lower end in England.
“Financially the move was important to him as he’s 25 now and he has a family.
“But we have to aspire to be at that level in the future and not be losing our best players to Oldham and St Johnstone.
What Kenny said may never happen. Year after year we lose some of our brightest talents to clubs at the bottom of the food chain in England. The utterly harsh reality is, that there's hardly ever two red pennies to rub together here and as long as that continues, players will select Oldham Athletic instead of Dundalk , Tranmere instead of Shamrock Rovers and Barnet instead of Bohemians.
Sligo signed ex Liverpool striker Adam Morgan. He's bounced around like a vagabond the last few years but it's still an impressive signing.
