roddy collins you're a flanker you're a flanker!
James Finnerty signed on loan from Bohs .
Ryan Graydon signed for Derry from Longford on a 2.5 year deal. He's a decent enough player on his day but I'd have thought Derry could do better to be honest. Especially on a lengthy contract.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

Gufc had a deal done before Derry stepped in.

Dan McDonnell says another Premier club wanted him too. I'm assuming we didn't get any money out of it. He has talent definitely but he didn't jump out as someone that could definitely do well at Premier Division level. But I'm no expert.

Haven't seen Graydon in a few years but I didn't think he was up to much when he got a chance at Bohs. Very surprised Derry have given him such a long deal.
Graydon was teammates with Kavanagh and Maher last season at Bray so maybe some connection there led to his move. He looked a raw winger with potential for his age in the games against Shels last season, I wouldn't have thought him or Kavanagh would have been anywhere near ready for playing in a team the next season pushing for the premier division title or in Europe
Maybe some clubs like Derry are looking at the sketchy hit rate of young UK/foreign imports from full-time setups and are deciding to shift back towards giving young part-time Irish players in the first division a chance to develop
The Leinster Senior League needs a strong Bohemians
kavanagh is a lot better than graydon imo. 2.5 year deal for a guy who is essentially going to be a sub seems mad to me. theyd have been better off going for patterson. graydon was impressive against cork this season but he didnt stand out enough to say hes good enough to be a squad player on a team who want to challenge for the title in the tier above.
The Graydon move is a mad one to me. He has talent for sure but he's only been decent for us this season, no better than that. Think he only has 2 goals & 4 assists so far, not amazing output in a largely rubbish division. He's also very inconsistent. Can have 1 good game followed by 2 not so good ones. Best of luck to the lad, not sure how he's managed to get a 2.5 year deal out of it but fair play to him. The full time set up and playing with better players should bring him on further but I'd be surprised if he ever becomes a regular starter in a PD team, never mind one hoping to challenge for silverware and play in Europe every year.
Barry Coffey signs with City until the end of the season. Was linked with a move to Galway, no idea how realistic that ever was, but great to have him and his goals back in our team. He'll have to fight hard to get his starting place back though as Srbely has been playing well in his absence.
30 k the fee for Mandriou,measly sum that for one of the better players in the league…
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Sign of the times really. Players have agents who are inserting these release clauses, in order to get the player to sign longer term contracts. Mind you €30,000 has got to be one of the lowest ones I’ve seen mentioned.
In this case the agent getting such a low release clause put into the contract has actually gone against his client. Reported below by Dan McDonnell that a Bundesliga club were interested in signing him but we’re actually put off by how low his release clause was.

Of course it’s hard for LOI clubs to put the foot down in regards to release clauses but for rovers to see themselves as the most attractive option for a player to sign for in this country, coupled with the fact that they paid Bohs €20k for Mandroiu surely they could’ve negotiated something like €100k at a minimum

That Ryan Grayson transfer is mad by the way, there’s good reason a 23 year old who's spent his entire senior career in the LOI only has 3 premier division starts. Saw a Longford fan on twitter mention that they’ve got €40k out of the move too

40k!?! Surely you'd be able to get someone like Patterson from Waterford for around the same or less than that.
Yeah Patterson or Junior Quitirna is who I’d be going for if that fee is to be believed. No idea if it is or not though

Would Graydon have been out-of-contract at the end of the season? That looks like one of the most bizarre moves in LOI for a long time- to pay a fee for an unproven at this level First Division player. Are Derry expecting him to make an impact straight away?- because it would be a big jump up. He is a left winger, the same position as Mickey Duffy, so long term you paid a fee to compete with one of the leagues best?
Maybe the full-time set up means he can make the leap. But just... strange...
Jaysus Derry could have got Danny Mandroiu and had 10k change
