Danny Grant has left Bohs. Sadly just hasn't been able to recapture the form from his first spell at the club.
Will be interesting to see what Grant does next. By all accounts had Bohs and Pats offering him a lot of money at the time of his return, so I can see why they've not re-signed him given he's had little return on that investment, but at the same time you'd imagine he's taking a pay cut wherever he ends up. Still looks a player in there from the limited I've seen of him, just that it wasn't clicking.
He had a much better 2nd half of the season but he's just not the player he was unfortunately. Not the same amount of pace he once had and a bit too indecisive now where previously he would be at a man and drive towards goal he's very hesitant to take on anyone. I think there is still a player in there but you're right that he's just not justified his wage since he came back.
Dundalk to announce new manager 2morro…..
Rumour that Talbot is gone from Bohs too. Didn't make sense for him or the club for him to stick around as a backup keeper especially as he's probably a high earner.
I just find it odd they are looking to get one in so early, as god alone knows where things will end and where we will be in 2025.
Unless they have assurances of a licence already / funds for next season, as I`ll be blunt, I wouldn't be going near the place in the previous 'life support' status if I was a manager.
Didn't Roddy C last something like 2 weeks or so at Cork City one year due to similar stuff, or was that a new owner came in - thankfully he's busy plugging his book still !
#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).
Kirk, Grant and Talbot all gone? While none have been confirmed, I don't think they will be missed as none were outstanding, all very ordinary this season albeit Talbot only played twice and would be behind Choradska next season. Good to see Bohs clearing out or letting players leave so easily, hopefully they have better replacements lined up, including a striker who'll score goals
Yeah and TBH Talbot hasn't been the same since he picked up a few shoulder injuries on international duty. I'd say 2 big earners gone there in Grant and Talbot. While Kirk probably isn't on massive money he's was very suspect all season. Fingers crossed there's a new left full lined up because there are none under contract at the club to the best of my knowledge
Brad Wade, Jack Doherty, Cian Murphy, Cian Bargary,? John O’Donovan and Aidan Dowling depart Cork City,thought Jack Doherty might have been given an opportunity in the Premier Division but Clancy obviously didn’t like what he seen….

Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Think Ciarán Behan, Dónal Higgins and Danú Kinsella-Bishop are the ones likely to leave UCD this year, having finished college. Three attacking options, though we struggled up front this year tbh, and they only managed 8 goals between them.
From the 19s, we have Sam Mohan, Adam Brennan, Hugh Parker and Roy Lawlor coming through, and they look very promising options based on the Youth League games in particular.

Kilduff in at Dundalk per Dan McDonnell.
Started knocking a few in midway during the season. If he can build on that next year - and probably he can, though Danú didn't for whatever reason - he could become the 15-goal forward we missed this year but tended to have in our other First Division campaigns. Still in the "let's see" group for now I think.
Jeez remember when Cork used to just constantly sign Sligo players.
Great days.
