We’re just unlucky that a rich club without a proper youth academy cherry picks our best lads, but our time is coming

Dundalk interested in Ben McCormack from Pats and Dylan Duffy from UCD.........
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
The article also suggests Evan Caffrey is on the move from UCD. If he leaves UCD that will be him, Dylan Duffy and John Ryan all former Rovers B players using UCD as a hopping on/off product.The club have a handy relationship going with Rovers these days, but the players don't stay around, they aren't students at the college. But we have to get our players from somewhere as our own academy product has been pretty poor of late. Hopefully Rovers will send us three or four more of their best youngsters for next season.

Ian Ryan confirmed as new Bray Manager
A total joke of an outfit since Cabo took over (well to be fair, not much better under ODriscoll). What class of an announcement is that. The implication is therefore that Devlin perhaps isn't gone, but moved upstairs, and that will 100% end in tears, Collie ONeill tried that and walked out after about a month
I'd say devo stays as director of football. Which will be a pain for Ryan.
Bowler, did ucd get any new scholarship players in at the start of the academic year? Wondering if there are decent replacements to hand or if their places will be filled by the better LSL players. Will be a shame to lose all our attacking players after a good end to the season.
I haven't heard a single name, but not sure they are losing too many either. And it doesn't matter any more anyway, they just backfill with players who aren't in the college. Probably only a handful of the LSL players are up to being squad players at best, they arent even in the top LSL Division any more. And as noted earlier, expect the new found special relationship to yield some Rovers academy product. I see they fielded a LOI 1st team against IT Sligo today, Lonergan got 5 goals, that's not really a fair fight in any man's language. Can't see us hanging onto Lonergan, he surely has a move to UK coming his way, and he's only just started college, so can't imagine he would sacrifice the opportunity if a pro deal across the pond comes knocking
Fair enough ,
have to say its very quiet on the transfer front i had expected some announcements from the club re resignings etc.
I suppose its only last Sunday week the season finished for most people.
I think it is quiet because the league has gradually been moving to multi-year contracts, resulting in less players looking for a move as soon as the season ends. It’s a good thing sure but less entertaining in the off-season. I do think we could seen some interesting moves between now and February and maybe some bigger than usual transfer fees between clubs.
