2025 Arrivals and Departures

[Neish]

No mention of a loan anywhere, Nigel.

Stoke City announcing the transfer here:

Stoke City FC - Dara McGuinness completes Finn Harps move https://share.google/bg5y7JHuGUJK1KlUs

It only mentions move (not tranfer) and actually does mention loan (although to another club ), a loan is a move too

He hasn't featured in a while but a big loss all the same, was in good goal scoring form in the first round of games

[pineapple stu]

In fairness, it says "who featured four times in a loan spell at Leek Town earlier this campaign". That hardly shows he was on loan at Harps.

[Dermobohs]

Kian best the left full who was on loan at Bohs and couldn’t get a look in after a couple of poor performances, plus injury it would seem, is now at Chelsea.
Unreal.

[joey B]

Harps confirmed 2 signings before the game on Friday,Kieran Cooney a right back and last in Notts County’s academy,also a St Kitts and Nevis international ,also signed Idir Zerrouk a winger and last played in the 5th tier in Germany..

It's not for me to say otherwise, there may be others who are more privvy to transfer dealings at Finn Park these days, but my information is that it was a loan deal in the end due to some sort of contract issue.

Pat Hoban still stuck on the bench.
List of potential clubs is now: Galway, Cork, Coleraine, Glentoran.

He really is wasted at the Brandywell.

It seems Hoban, Huben or even Who Bin is not in Tiernan Lynch plans, even though he must be the most expensive squad paid player on the bench in the Premier LOI!
The list of potential clubs like Galway, Cork, Coleraine, Glentoran, could really not afford his wage demands and could only consider a loan deal in their favour.

I'm surprised Derry arent loaning him out to Galway or Cork, he might score a few goals and take points off rivals and wouldnt be able to play agaisnt Derry so couldnt do them damage...better than paying to sit on the bench surely even if they only got half his wages covered

Conan Noonan on loan from Rovers to Waterford has scored against Pats and Bohs this season for Waterford , costing Pats 2 points with a late equalizer and Bohs 3 with the winner against them as well as playing well in other games and makinga contribution that helps us

[Buckett]

From a Galway point of view, Hoban can go and roger himself. We've given him opportunities to sign for us in the past

Exactly. He's being linked with us because he's from Galway but he's said in the past he doesn't want to play for us so he can do one. There is no substance to any rumours of him joining us.

[nr637]

Mr. Hoban cost 30k and is on 2-year contract.
Wages were around €1,500+ while at Dundalk and moved to Derry for similar, based on rumors and discussions within the League of Ireland community.

You dont sound at all resentful!

[brendy_éire]

We gave Mickey Duffy opportunities to sign in the past, and he turned us down.
You can't let a bruised ego stop you from signing suitable players.

Can understand fully he won't be linked with this Dundalk set up, but you can hardly blame him for not leaving Dundalk in the league / cup winning / euro seasons to join Galway.

Possibly next season if we get promoted, but would still think budget will be better spent, he seems to be running out of options.

Again, he was right to turn down Derry on those occasions, and absolutely right to take up the current deal he is on with Derry, when the last helicopter was flying out of Saigon / Oriel !!!

Timing

Same in all jobs, football no different.

[Shearer]

Yoyo Mahdy departs Treaty United over work commitments and personal circumstances.

Sorry to see him go but LOI is a tough commitment at the best of times and he has had a difficult time since the passing of his father.
