It doesn't, now can you point me to where it says anything about a transfer?

It has a reputation for being very accurate generally.
Certainly if the choices are "It's a permanent deal because that's on wiki" and "It's a loan deal because the article mentions a previous loan to a different club in a different country", I'll go with the former
That article also says "Stoke have also sent 18-year-old centre-back Freddie Anderson out on loan to Ireland, where he will play for Cork City for the season" so I think we can take it the McGuinness move isn't a loan or it would have been called out too.

What a really strange hill to die on!
Derry apparently close to agreeing a deal with English striker Dipo Akinyemi. Adding to Boyce, Mullen and Hoban already at the club in that position. Certainly looks like Hoban and or Mullen are on the way out

It was originally due to be a permanent transfer, as I understand it, but due to some sort of contract issue with his Stoke release, it was eventually done as a loan.

Some folk take it as their job to defend their club online at all times, no matter what.
Harps unfortunately have a record over the past two and a bit years of, I'll be generous and say unclear, communication - clubs added to new signing's cvs for whom they were never registered, skipping over spells to a more impressive most recent club etc. It's not important stuff I suppose. The current 'misunderstanding' about the cost of the ground / what would be delivered with the previously announced target is a little more important.
Obligatory joke about the 28 year old new signing being a bit young for Derry, one for the future, etc.
Pat Hoban heading to Glentoran for an undisclosed fee,Kevin Holt also departing according to the Derry Journal…
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Just realised Hoban is 34 in a couple of weeks. I had thought he was a few years younger than that

Probably a good move for him, should score goals and will be a starter for Glentoran.
Yes the years caught up on him, he was 32 when he left Dundalk, what a brilliant servant he was over 8 split seasons, missed 2015-2017 period including the highs of EL 2016 group stage journey as he was in League 2 in Eng, even now still think that was a crazy move, Oxford U / Mansfield.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), only Irish club to win a game / points in Europa League Group Stage (2016).
Looking at his career, I just noticed he was released by Mansfield in the summer of 2017 but was out of the game for 6 months before returning to Dundalk ahead of the 2018 season. Was there a reason for that half season out of the game? Maybe waiting for another offer from a UK club or was it injury related?

Patrick Ferry signs for Treaty United after departing Finn Harps lately.
Wish him the best but misses too many chances,him and McHugh didn’t get on AFAIK so I guess it’s for the best he moved on…

Nah it’s only on loan

Story has strangely disappeared from Treaty socials and their website.

Hoban never really reached his potential with us. Under Higgins, we didn't play in a way that suited him. He'd often end up going into the middle of the park just to try and get some possession.
Then with Lynch, we played in a way that maybe would have suited him, but he just never got the game time. He was injured for a well, but still.
Kevin Holt's missus isn't settled and wants to go back to Scotland. Would be disappointed to see him go, but we'd have a huge chunk of extra wages to use.
What were your expectations for him if being joint top goalscorer in the league wasn’t reaching potential?

This was so odd. The local papers had picked up on it already. They have announced another one since.
