Nothing is out of left field at Oriel currently! Signing Duffy back is a huge positive.Originally Posted by CorribsideSteve

Huge signing
Big couple of days for Dundalk there with Duffy staying and Byrne leaving Rovers, could be crucial for next season.....
Yes it was a big signing ok, had he left it would have raised a lot of questions on the direction the club were taking.
This should encourage better quality to join now and will increase hopes for a much better league season ahead for Dundalk.
#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).
David Parkhouse signed for Derry city.
Sligo signed Jordan Gibson, who was at Pats last season......
It would be interesting to know if we didn’t want to resign him or lost out to sligo. It would be a big indicator for how next season will go for us imo.
Talented dribbler and works very hard but on the flipside his finishing/final ball was terrible a lot of the time. If he can improve on that then he'll be a hit with Sligo
Colovic on his way out of Dundalk. Never really happened for him but seems he was on a two year deal?
That pay off will pinch a bit!!
True but if he’d stayed we’d have had the full seasons wage along with accommodation so while it’ll be expensive getting rid it’s probably better off. He didn’t work out at all and was the highest earner. Such a disappointment.
Rory Feely signed for Bohs
Great signing. Was one of our better players this season. Worrying times continue for Pats with no standout replacement available
Luke McNally linked with Lincoln also today. Have Pat's many players contracted from last year ? Because if not who is there left to sign from the usual League of Ireland merry go round ? Few ex Waterford & Cork ? It's looking bleak for them.
Wasnt he with Hartlepool United recently, score one goal I think.
It is bleak at the moment. I think we will be looking at youth players and uk imports next season , it has the potential for disaster.
McNally is in contract so won’t be going without a fee. In contract as it stands are Luke McNally, Shane Griffin, Jamie Lennon, Chris Forrester, Darragh Burns, Ben McCormack, Ronan Coughlan. There’s more too but they’ve yet to be announced. In fairness the likes of Derry and Waterford are in a similar situation but yeah there’s not much around in terms of replacements knocking around the league. I’d say O'Donnell could look to the UK market again this year
He fell out with the manager there and didn’t have the best of time all round, gets on very well with Devine and is a guaranteed goalscorer in the League of Ireland so would be a top quality addition for us especially if on a permanent basis assuming Derry’s handing out of two year contracts continues. He will be a future international player for the north of that there is little doubt in my mind.
All that being said he is nowhere near having signed for us as of yet as confirmed by Devine Derry are in very early stage of talks with Sheffield Utd and aren’t even aware of what Sheff Utd want to do with him yet, he is still under contract there until the end of the 21/22 English season.
Things had progressed at least as far as this last year and Parkhouse was doing part of our pre season last year with no deal done so it’s far from a sure thing.
Conor Barry signed for Harps from Galway United.
