Rivals would get some kick out of that but a kick in the balls for Dundalk fans.

Surprised at the silence coming out of Rovers, we've loaned Cotter to pats , pico out for a good while is the rumour and you'd have to think if Blackpool come again with a decent offer we'd have to let him go. Still silence on incoming.
Rumour I've heard is connolly has had his head turned by Rovers hence the need for Higgins dashing out to convince him otherwise. And Phoenix Patterson from Waterford is rumoured as well
It would make sense to try if Lopes is out and losing bodies to transfers out.
Alfie Lewis and Runar Hauge to Dundalk and one more coming in (not Connolly)
Robbie McCourt joined Dundalk from Sligo Rovers for an undisclosed fee….

Robbie McCourt officially confirmed by Dundalk, and Connolly also officially confirmed as not coming back !!!!
Alfie Lewis meant to be signing this week on loan. Runar Hauge also I think.
Real shame about Connolly as he had developed into one of the best in the league, but 'thems the rules' when you enter into loan agreements, and in re-build mode running a tight ship.
#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).
surely dundalk could have done better than a sligo sub to replace one of the best defenders in the league?
All about the $$$$, StatSports and Andy Connolly made no bones about it when they took over end of 2021 that DFC would be run as a prudent business. Plus Gartland is still injured, probably in his last season, would imagine first choice pairing will still be Boyle and Bone, but it does feel a little underwhelming at the minute with McCourt whom I have to admit I know little about, just hope we have done enough to finish in the top 3.
Derry will probably announce Connolly later this week and his first game could be in Oriel Park on Fri week !

Oh i can imagine a deal for connolly would have cost more but the thought of paying sligo a fee for robbie mccourt is about as underwhelming as it gets. he'll be on less money that connolly but surely dundalk (and other loi clubs) could look outside the league a bit more. the pool of talent isnt deep enough here , time to look to other leagues around the world for players.
Rovers signed Simon Power
Tunde to Bohs is floating about. It would be a bad move by us.
Did Rovers really need another midfielder…
