Transfers 2019 season

**joey B** · 23/02/2019, 1:56 PM

Done the whole pre season and started the first game,its strange .......

**nigel-harps1954** · 23/02/2019, 2:05 PM

Can't sign for anyone until July now anyway. It's a strange one, but by all accounts he was poor in Dalymount last week and midfield is one area we've plenty of options, so it's no real loss

**Longfordian** · 23/02/2019, 4:07 PM

Has the transfer deadline passed? Wasn’t paying too much attention to it. Wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up back with us at some stage alright.

Cancelled his contract before the window shut afaik. Would be free to sign for anyone now in that case

**sbgawa** · 23/02/2019, 7:38 PM

yes window closed

**MattB11** · 25/02/2019, 9:26 PM

Mark Russell signed for us last with Falkirk

**joey B** · 26/02/2019, 9:30 PM

Sam Verdon signs for Longford,we'll always have those beautiful 81 minutes in Dalymount .......

**Nesta99** · 26/02/2019, 10:37 PM

Was there a risk of a third club signing with Verdon? Even if a player signs from club a to club b and then back to a will that still count as 3 clubs in a specified period. I presume cancelling a contract doesnt help with limiting the number of clubs that can be signed for either? Not suggesting that this is the case here just a general question!

I believe the Farrelly situation from years back clarified this eventually. The three clubs in a season is no longer based on the 'traditional' season but context dependent. So Verdon has only played for two clubs this season and that would have been the same had he joined a club other than Longford. He could hypothetically join a team in NI in July because that would be a new season.

Great to have him back he did very well for us last season. I assume he couldn’t hack the travelling. I always thought it was an odd choice for him for that reason. Daniel O’Reilly has nobody to be sharing the travel with now so I don’t see him lasting beyond this season.

Daniel O'Reilly shares with coach William O'Connor who's a teacher in Dublin and presumably Sean Boyd now on loan from Shamrock Rovers.

There's no indication of him being unhappy, where Verdon seemed to throw the toys out of the pram after one awful performance against Bohs.

You should work for Leo with spin like that.

O'Reilly been excellent since he came in ,dosent look out of place in the Premier division.

Which part is wrong? O'Reilly sharing a lift or Verdon ringing Fenn after the Bohs game asking could he come back to Longford?

Definitely should be working for the government with wire tapping skills like that

Stephen O Donnell rumored to have been training the last week with the first team (Prob as an emergency)

**Nesta99** · 02/03/2019, 4:28 AM

Mountney out now, Murray and McGrath carrying a knocks and having to play, Flores well off the pace currently, no sign of Jarvis in the match squad considering we are short at the moment, McEleney and Benson out longterm. 7 not fully fit players that can slot in to central midfielder!! We havent seen much of McKee though at least he has been training before being taken in on loan. I dont think we named a full bench of subs tonight. So having O'Donnell registered and train is sensible. Just goes to show that even the biggest squad can be stretched. If Shields were to pick up a knock we'd be rightly in trouble!! Even Dummigan came on and played right wing I think v UCD toward the end.

Dylan Hand moved to the subs bench following Mounts injury and his replacement,Dano Kelly.Dano got replaced by Dummigan(90). and Georgie got on for Hoban(88). I thought the subs were frustrating as hell - unless you're of the mind-set that we hold what we have.Thought Georgie should have got a decent run.(25mins)

Mid-week friendly perhaps? (to give the likes of Dummigan,Flores and McKee etc.. a run out for fitness.

He's just signed for Hartlepool this week. He had planned to move to England anyway I heard. He was decent last season and got a few good goals from midfield.
