QuoteHow do people see those transfers on FAI connect?
If we take FAI connect to be a source of truth (which I pretty much am), Joshua Giurgi has signed for Longford Town a second time after his 2023 spell. Was playing with Maynooth last year

Click on the star at the bottom, that gives you "Teams", "Matches", "Competitions" and "Players", which then allows you to type in the name you're curious about - appears Andy Spain has also signed for you now.Originally Posted by outspoken

you can just type "Longford Town" into the player search and all their registed players will be top of the list
I did it for Bohemian FC and there were no current players. When I put Bohemian FC in to "team" all I got was results from 22/23
Dundalk have signed defender Ethen Vaughan from Brighouse Town who lie third from bottom in the 8th tier of English football. I’d genuinely love to know how in the name of god a player at that level even comes onto the radar of Dundalk, even as a first division club

Young lads coming though the 19s in the league must despair when they see players of that level being signed, along with all the loanees3thst will inevitably arrive over the coming weeks
Not to cast any judgements on the lad without knowing anything about him but after the disastrous lower level signings of last season you'd think Dundalk would be staying out of that market, especially when they are going to have to house these fellas, it's just unnecessary expense for a club playing in the first division.
Listen it's not like Dundalk have a history of financial mismanagement in their recent past. I'm sure they can manage their expenses perfectly well. Sure the FAI were supposedly all over their budget and it's not like the FAI would make mistakes about budgets or potential owners
Intrigued by Wexford who signed a Canadian lad from the Premier Intermediate league up North, far far away from a great standard but maybe he's above it.
I'm almost certain a decent amount of of these obscure signings are made just to keep certain agents and contacts onside in the hope of getting someone better down the line.
Yes there is a definitely a strong element of that in these random UK/Foreign imports but with so many LOI clubs including Dundalk repeatedly getting severely burned with UK/foreign junk courtesy of these agencies/contacts I can only conclude there is a mix of stockholm syndrome going on within the league along with lack of proper investment in the development of players emerging through the underage leagues

Done deal to Grimsby on a 3 and a half year contract for a fee of around 40k

I don't think it's as bad at Rovers as some people have been making out. Rovers will be ok, they had a very big squad last year. At the moment they've 4 keepers, 4 CBs, 3 WBs (Sean Kavanagh back training with the squad also). Multitude in midfield of 9 or ten players. 3 strikers. 3 new signings in and Burt back from loan. The likes of Honohan, Greene and Burke can play in different positions also. Would still like to see an extra utility defender/WB and a striker but I'm sure they are looking at plenty of options at the moment. Still talking to Mandriou also by all accounts.
The loan market while benefitting Rovers, is also a hinderance to them when it comes to retaining players. Kenny and Burns two big losses.
If Kenny is not going to play at Celtic then it makes sense for him to come back to Rovers until the summer. He can't join another club on loan until next season anyway.
I suppose the money might have been similar to the Rovers deal, but if he can show any sort of form, he may believe he will move up the divisions if a bigger club show interest during his career!
His mother and agent both put up posts in which they included quite odd subtle digs at Rovers for playing him out of position (at wing back rather than an out-and-out winger).
It must have been an awful shock for Darragh, his mother and his agent that they chose for him to sign on loan for a club who's manager operates a wing-back system
