He's bound to score against us for Rovers isn't he ? Good player, but too inconsistent. Wasn't desperate to see him leave, but on the other hand, not devastated by it either.Originally Posted by D24Saint

Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
What are rovers fans thoughts on Darragh Nugent? I’ve seen him play against Pats plenty of times but he never really stands out and I couldn’t tell you what his best attributes are. Just seems to be a steady Eddie in a team full of superior players at rovers.
Given Nugent is a midfielder, if that deal goes through I guess it probably means Diallo won’t be signing which would be a shame. On a positive note Mulraney being on one of the biggest wages in the league will free up money to bring in a decent replacement if they can find one from somewhere abroad

Kenny tried everything with him and his form and fitness still completely fell off a cliff last season. He has the talent but there are huge doubt's on his attitude. A parting of ways would be best for both parties.
Looked like he might make something of himself as an energetic, combative midfielder who could occasionally play a bit of ball....but he went backwards last year imop. Mainly used in Europe when we needed legs. Good lad. With regular minutes and a more defined role he might do well for you but he didn't look like he was ever going to be a serious option in our midfield setup. He's not on Diallos level so if it was one or the other I wouldnt be delighted in your shoes.
Possibly better off getting an opinion from Drogs fans where I think he held down his place more regularly a few seasons back.
Excited about Mulraney. He was devastating against us a few times. New environment hopefully what he needs and we've a decent record of taking players who are out of favour or sorts and getting them back on track. We will turn him into a wingback in no time.
I have absolutely zero doubt that Mulraney will mug us off and be a success for Rovers but at this point I'm just happy for him to be gone. By all accounts a good lad and teammate but outside of that 10 game run and some odd moments of quality he's never come close to living up to what he takes up in the budget. I had more patience with him than most but last season it got to the point where he was the personification of what was wrong with us, flattering to deceive and crumbling at the first sign of any resistance.
Can't say I've ever noticed Nugent enough to have an opinion on how good of a signing he'd be. If he offers any kind of energy and mobility to midfield then that alone would be a help for this current squad. To complete the squad we absolutely need a couple of full backs, also probably a winger to replace Mulraney and a midfielder (which I'm guessing is Nugent but I wouldn't mind another). For my own sanity I'd like a CB to partner Redmond but I think we've too many under contract already for that to be a goer.
Nugent was used in Europe to break up the play and pass it to a colleague who had more skill. He was rarely used in the league unless there was a plethora on midfield injuries. His attitude is great by the looks of it and he works extremely hard so the polar opposite of Mulraney by the sounds of it!!😄.
Bradser turned Grant around in less than 6 months so if he lights the right fire under Mulraneys ar$e we could really use his obvious skill, particularly his pace in Europe.
Apparently Bohs have signed Harry Vaughan on loan from Hull
On loan, he'll do great things and get recalled and we'll be left high and dry, like Grehan last year
Better have the 'great things' than not no? For all we know, without Grehan for the first half of the season, Europe qualification might have been a mile off.
"oh my, that was some beer we had last night, I think I feel like getting sick" Effin Eddie
Your Grehan comment is exactly what I mean. I've just looked Vaughan on Wiki. Since 2022, 63 appearances and 1 goal.
