Gaffney staying in Tallaght
Kavanagh was solid, but just wasn't going to get the game time. Probably will be remembered for the winning goal at home to KuPS, and the miss at the death in Tallaght against Tobol. Not a bad signing for someone to consider.Originally Posted by joey B
Harkin basically hasn't played for the last two seasons after doing both ACLs back to back, but happy to see him get another year.
Coll has been solid when he's needed, so fine with that too.
Supposedly pat's are throwing a rake of money at Jack Byrne to sign. We won the league pretty much without him this season, and his "injury profile" could make any prospective suitors nervous,but he is far and above the most talented player in the league and he would vastly improve that pat's midfield
Not sure I’d be that excited about getting Byrne tbh. Would he fit in the same midfield as Forrestor? As you say, with his injury record he’d be a risky one to be throwing big money at.
I’d much rather spend money on a proven striker if we’re splashing the cash. Carty and Lonergan are good young players but not really prolific in front of goal.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
Pats have tied Mason Melia down to a contract until the end of the 2026 season when he'll be 19 years old. Great business, if he continues to develop as he has been there could potentially be a big fee up for grabs as he'll still be in contract while he's 18

Pats getting stuck in nice and early, usually clubs wait 'til after a cup final!
Have heard this too. Feels a weird one to me for several reasons, but ultimately I can't see it happening. Just smells of leveraging us for better terms elsewhere.
Re: Melia it feels daft that signing a 16 year old feels like such a big deal but that's how much he's coveted. That extra year could prove massive if he lives up to the potential.
Quite helpful when your manager isn’t lining up players to bring to another club next week isn’t it?

Defo the extra year is the part that caught my attention. He recently signed a deal with Adidas in London so he on the radar over in the UK.
Can add Pohls to that list.
Yeah he seems to be firmly on the radar of the biggest clubs over there. Man City strongly linked recently I think. Not that they're a big club..
Went up to Saratoga, where my horse naturally won.
The Melia contract is so interesting. You'd have to assume that he's been fairly well taken care of for him to commit that much of his future.
I don't know a whole lot about what the wages would be but I'd blindly speculate he'd need to be guaranteed 100-150k over a 3 year period to get him to commit well past his 18th birthday.
By the time he turns 18 I think we'll know a lot more about where the LOI is heading. We could be the first of a new generation of teenagers who will be subject (pending clauses) to proper transfer fees.
Not that unrealistic to predict he could be top scorer in the LOI half way through the 2025 season and be valued 500k+ in the likes are Man Cort still rate him.
Am I right in thinking that before he signed this deal he could have went to the continent for compensation only this winter?
David Cawley gone from Sligo,club captain so a big rebuild there in the offseason….

I’ve seen a few Sligo fans on twitter giving out about the decision to let him go which is surprising really because Cawley has been muck nearly every time I’ve seen him play for years now

You'd imagine there's no way Keating stays with Cork now. Him and Hoban on the move in the one window is an interesting one.
I suppose it will depend on the offers that come in for Keating,he signed a new contract in July just and it would be wrong to discount the emotional side of what he’s gone through this last few months,he might have an attachment to the people and club and if he does stay that would make them favourites to go straight back up I’d say….

Could be wrong but I thought he signed for use rather than be on loan from shels
How was Kane at Drogs? Looked a very promising player before the injury, the fact he couldnt get a look in after at Shels would suggest he isn't the player he was
