Low key this was an area of need for the squad though. I like the look of Rhys Brennan from the bits I've seen and I think Archie Meekison was good in that position at the end of the year but it's always good to have more experienced options as well.

Just need another striker, from what I hear Mousset has impressed the few fans who saw him . Wonder did he impress the gaffer & co enough to sign him. If we get him that'll be squad complete and just like Bohs we'll see what happens when it all kicks off

Yeah let's see on Mousset. He appeared in one of the preseason photos on waterfords Twitter and I had to do a double take because while he was certainly unfit for a professional footballers he was nowhere near as unfit looking as I thought based on what people were saying online. Suffice to say I'd be happy if he signed, he wouldn't even be one of the most overweight players I've seen line out for Bohs.

Mousset has to happen- with the ready made song for him it seems like the stars have aligned. Given my enthusiasm, he'll probably end up as Hery mark 2

Thought the same, was surprised. At this stage get it done or else somebody else will. If he's willing to drop to LOI level then I'm sure we're not the only ones who'd take a punt.

If Bohs sign a decent striker now then I think we've had as good a window as we could have reasonably expected.

I would agree with that. It started well and died off for a good while but recently it looks promising again. This potentially could be a good squad with the capabilities to upset some of the front runners. If Mousset has been around for a few weeks he'll have gelled in to the squad.They should just get the last bit of business done and knuckle down for the beginning of the season.

Bohs have signed Alex Lacey, a defender, any one know anything about him.?

Mason Melia signing for Spurs for 1.6 million plus add ons,will spend this season with Pats before moving next January.....

**pineapple stu** · 04/02/2025, 6:10 PM

Crikey, that's a great deal. Fee is in sterling too - that's close to �2m. Game-changing sum of money potentially.

Touch wood he can justify it cos that's exactly the sort of transfer we could do with seeing more often here.

Could break the glass ceiling on transfer fees in the future if this transfer is a success. Good luck to him.

Parsons is a bit of a YouTuber I see. 120k followers. His videos are actually quite good.

What do the Waterford lads think of him? On face value it seems like a good piece of business.

**Jd2793** · 04/02/2025, 6:39 PM

class money for pats and a great move for melia.

**Longfordian** · 04/02/2025, 6:45 PM

Add ons could take it up to �3.5m, plus a 20% sell on. Great fee.

20% sell on too, that is some bit of business.

How long was left on Melias contract does anyone know?

I'm wondering how they managed to break the cycle of agents/players having cheap release clauses. Did they just offer him really good money he couldn't turn down as a 16 year old?

As I recall he signed a contract until he�s 19, which would leave him another full year after this year.

This Melia transfer fee is the biggest financial evidence of a Brexit benefit for a LOI club

How does a second sell on clause work then?

Presume if Spurs sell him to Bayern for �60m who sell him to Grimsby for �100k, then they get (say) 2% of the �100k. Never heard of one before - bit surprising Pat's were able to get that included. If I was Spurs I'd have told them where to go.

**Longfordian** · 04/02/2025, 8:07 PM

I'm not sure how that'd be enforceable against two clubs not party to the original agreement? Unless Spurs are guaranteeing to pay whatever that amount would be. Which seems a bit silly when they have no control over it. What if he's ridiculously successful and is sold on for �60m?
