QuoteAre Bohs resigned to losing Afolabi? As much as they're both quality players I'm not sure there's any point in having both him and Hoban.
If Gaffney stays relatively fit that should be 5 in a row sewn up.
On another striker, is colm whelan scheduled to return from injury in time for next season?
I think his absence prevented derry from making more of a challenge for the title.
And I hear rumours of hoban to boez- if ever a player and club were made for each other more it's boez and that particular individual.

Afolabi is signed up for another year so unless someone comes in with a decent offer I would not expect him to go anywhere
Thought if he stayed at Rovers then Hoban be off home to Galway.Originally Posted by joey B
Linked to Sligo supposedly

Ethan Kos has re-signed for another 12 months at Kerry, which is no surprise given his form since July.
Can anyone post the full article please? Paywall...

Is Hoban to Bohs a rumour doing the rounds? He would certainly add a leadership element that is sorely missing from the squad.
I'd wager Afolabi will be off in January. He's scored a decent amount of goals for Bohs but he's also been very good with his link up play and stayed healthy for the entire season. Someone like Fleetwood or Lincoln will come in for him as they know what to expect from LOI players at this stage and good strikers are very difficult to find.
How do Sligo fans feel about Russell staying on? Have they shown any improvement in the tail end of the season? Can't imagine they thought they would avoid a relegation battle by such a slim margin before the start of the season. I know losing Mata would have an impact but even still has it not been a very poor season?
Most people not happy about it. We were awful this season and hard to see based on the signings this season how he will get it right next season as nearly all weren’t good enough. He’d certainly be favourite for first manager to leave next season.
Not sure if I read it here or elsewhere but it was said he has gotten off lightly when you consider Bucko was canned for far less.
I’ve heard Bohs and I have heard Galway so take your pick. You could probably throw Pats in there too based on location and their need for a forward.
I would not be surprised either if Afolabi is gone in the off season. Someone will come in for him from the UK and with a year left on his contract, now would be the optimum time for the club to cash in.
If he is going to leave then I would love to sign Hoban.
Certainly has. Even admitted himself he thought he would have been sacked after we lost 3-0 in Cork
Good bit of business.
I see that Martin Coughlan is emigrating. Nice lad and would have liked to see him get more of a go at Treaty. He picked up a mad amount of yellows with Kerry.
Patrick Hoban strikes me as a lad who'll go where the money is best. I think Derry will get him - they need a consistent goalscorer and he's proven at this level.
I'd be happy enough with Wassim leading the line for us in the Premier Division next season but after paying a fee for Mikey Place we'll surely be putting in a bid for the Hobanator so it may suit him to join us as his daughter in living in Galway.
Cian Kavanagh might not be a bad option for other clubs to pick up - he's still only 20.
I phoned the speaking clock to hear a voice speak, it said - "At the tone you will be very much alone"
Jesus! Feels like he’s been around forever. I remember watching him playing for Pats in a pre-season game in 2019, nearly 5 years ago now, before he moved on to Hearts. Is he out of contract at Derry?

It looks like it. I was surprised he was so young too. Maybe having another Cian Kavanagh knocking around the league made me think he'd been around for longer than he has (I don't remember him as a youth at Pat's)
One thing I'm surprised at is his height listed as 1m 76c (5 ft 9) - I definitely would have thought he was more like 6'2 or 6'3. Maybe he's just physically strong in stature.

Yeah, there was another Cian Kavanagh a couple of years earlier; played for Rovers, UCD, Shels, Drogheda and Wexford between 2015 and 2020. Played three games in Rovers' Europa League campaign in 2015. He's 27 now.
Sad to hear, even with all the yellows he picked up as you said, we don't have a pile of holding midfielders in the squad.
