I think he'll be good. I can see him ringing the changes there.

**Nesta99** · 28/05/2021, 11:43 AM

Stop!! Though i did laugh when it should have been a groan!

**Eminence Grise** · 28/05/2021, 12:53 PM

And when he gets the inevitable heave-ho, cue a 'Bell End of an Era' headline somewhere.

**sbgawa** · 28/05/2021, 1:21 PM

There's an alarm bell going off with the pun police.

**sadloserkid** · 28/05/2021, 4:06 PM

I just want to chime in to say that you people are making me question a life long love of puns.

Never forget when we signed the wrong david bell , we got the buncrana version and not the football league version.

It appears Derry have almost accepted that Will Patching will return to Dundalk on 1st July, unless for some reason DFC decide not to recall him, I can't why they wouldn't though.

His displays have been so good, he will surely be one of the favs for May league POTM.

Danger of singing a player on loan from your own division. If they do too well their club will just want them back, so ideally you want them to be just OK until August and then turn into Messi for the rest of the season.

Wexford & Waterford have announced departures, neither a large squad to start with. When can sides start signing players up again?

**total hoofball** · 10/06/2021, 6:38 PM

Summer transfer window for the LOI this year is 1st July to 28th July

**sulywaterfordfc** · 10/06/2021, 6:43 PM

James Waite left the club following the expiry of his loan.
Josh Collins has left the club, apparently going back to college - possible switch back to UCD on cards I wonder?

Among endless rumours locally is that Patching could stay with Derry in exchange for Gartside moving to Oriel. Rumour mill in Dundalk is in overdrive these days on everything, but could be a decent piece of business done by the club if there is any substance to it. It'd be a real shame not to have Patching get a proper chance with us but could he pick us up more points than pinching Derry's keeper?? It will certainly be interesting to see who leaves with supposed cuts to the playing budget happening. Hopefully Perez and Dogan are on a good wedge and that's 'cutting the budget', release a keeper if agreeing a full contract doesnt have to be paid up. Cant see any other obvious members of the squad that could or would go next month.

That would be an awful move, Gartside isnt at the moment much better than Cherrie or Abibi and has made mistakes too

Indo reporting 20k awarded to Bohs for transfer of Mandriou to the unmentionables. Good to see some consequences for mid season tapping up of rival`s players.

**placid casual** · 11/06/2021, 10:47 AM

Straight into Basten Herys pocket.

**Longfordian** · 11/06/2021, 12:29 PM

I'd be curious to know why Rovers thought, or at least argued, that Mandriou was a free agent. Everyone knows the compensation rules at this point. Did Bohs not pay him at some point or something?
