Is he a younger brother of Evan whos gone to the UK?Barry was superb when he played with ourselves.

Should be even better craic for the boys on DLK FM, 'Now its passed out from the back by Jurkovskis, but its been intercepted, now its headed clear by Nattestad who plays a nice ball back to Jurkovskis and he sends it wide and its picked up by Ogedi-Uzokwe who feeds the sub Midstkogen, and he holds it up for......................

I don't think he has a younger brother. If he does then he's only 15 or so at most. I assume it's Evan that the rumour is about.

Its about the Scottish Barry Ferguson that played for rangers and Birmingham. His son Kyle last played in lower leagues in Sweden after being at Rangers I think it was as a kid

**Longfordian** · 24/02/2021, 8:46 PM

Ah that makes a lot more sense.

**nigel-harps1954** · 24/02/2021, 9:31 PM

If he's half as good as the lad we had from the Swedish fourth tier last season, Waterford will be delighted.

I think he made two sub appearances and was the worst player I think I've ever seen at this level. He was great in Sweden though...

Derry got around this problem by only ever calling him Junior.

If he can get back to his form at Galway he'll be a brilliant signing for Drogheda, although easier said than done considering thats 4 years ago now

He was awful with us

And that's exactly how he will be referred to I reckon, also I'd say Nattestad will be Sonni, although not quite 'as hard' to pronounce.

Seems the feedback is Ogedi-Uzokwe was rated by Derry fans, where he finished LOI top scored in 2019, but not by Sligo last year.

**nigel-harps1954** · 25/02/2021, 10:47 AM

Worth nothing that Junior only finished top scorer as a result of a hat-trick on the last day of the season against Harps reserves..

I know he was rated highly by Derry fans, but just never seen it myself. Surprised to see Dundalk signing him.

Presume the deal for the Korean lad hit work-permit issues and won't be happening?

Bit of a bizarre signing really - a journeyman with one decent and one poor season in the LOI. Seeing as they have released Colovic and Oduwa and Junior is the only wide player they have signed you would think they will be playing with 3 at the back more often. Then again they only have 4 centre halves at the club, one of whom is Gartland who has visibly declined, and another who is a complete unknown quantity. I'm like a broken record at this stage but if I were a Dundalk fan I would be seriously unimpressed with the recruitment again. More than willing to eat my words if most of these wild punts turn out to be masterstrokes.

He certainly wasn’t worth the money we were supposedly paying him last year but still think he’s a good player. I could see him doing well at Dundalk.

**Longfordian** · 25/02/2021, 1:36 PM

Is it me or are there more players coming in on loan from England than in previous windows? I see Pats just announced another one.

Definitely looks that way alright, Waterford, Derry and Pats have a lot between them anyways.

Pats' latest is Nahum Melvin-Lambert, a striker on loan from Reading

**nigel-harps1954** · 25/02/2021, 2:22 PM

There were plenty on loan from England and Scotland last year too, in fairness. I think we're just paying closer attention to it this year because of Brexit.

**Longfordian** · 25/02/2021, 3:08 PM

Maybe I'm just paying more attention to the premier division teams this year.

**Lim till i die** · 25/02/2021, 3:28 PM

National Leagues North and South being cancelled probably means more players available as well.

**joey B** · 25/02/2021, 3:37 PM

Richie Towell signing for Rovers in the summer,could be a huge addition that.....

**D24Saint** · 25/02/2021, 3:57 PM

Nahum melvin-lambert in from reading on loan. He is an 18 year old striker and signed a new pro contract before the loan move. He made is first team debut this season. He looks an exciting young player.
