New player

**pineapple stu** · 16/07/2006, 11:24 PM

Signed one new player during the transfer window so far - can't remember his name, or indeed anything about him other than that he was with Newcastle United as a trainee.

Pat Kavanagh missed tonight's game because he was on holidays (entitled to as an amateur) but will be back for Friday. Alan Mahon and Tony Mac arrived a few minutes before kick-off both dripping in sweat, so it seems a safe enough bet that they're building up someway towards full fitness.

Forgot to mention that Mark Clohessy - keeper who played in the League Cup - has left the club.

That or... no, enough innuendo for one evening.

I've come to realise such things are about as relevant as a player having played for Wayside Celtic.

If he's half as skilful as the other heavy left back in the league then I'd be delighted.

Who did you mean then?

(And that wasn't me being serious then!)

**Poor Student** · 17/07/2006, 1:06 PM

Keith Foy!

**mossey2006** · 17/07/2006, 1:41 PM

any other rumors of new players comin in

**John83** · 17/07/2006, 9:32 PM

Some mention of Mahon looking to take on another one or two (on loan?). Kavanagh and the Robbie Mac clone might be our lot though.

**pineapple stu** · 17/07/2006, 9:53 PM

Scholarship trials shortly as well.

UCD have signed Aidan O' Keefe..great signing IMO. Just lives up the road to so he's come home

**pineapple stu** · 19/07/2006, 12:37 PM

That name rings a bell. Where's he signed from?

**BrayUnknowns** · 19/07/2006, 12:42 PM

Bohs i presume ! very good signing for the club, we had the chance to get him on a free just before he signed for Bohs, Devo turned the offer down.

**mossey2006** · 19/07/2006, 1:01 PM

he is a very good player quick nd full of tricks great signing for ucd i think he was used on the wing mostly for bohs though

**Poor Student** · 19/07/2006, 1:29 PM

Is he the lad Bohs signed from Pat's? I think he was Pat's top scorer a couple of years back or something?

Edit: O'Keefe answers my question and indeed he was. Sounds like a promising signing. Nice to know we're active in the market. With Paul Byrne and Tony Mac to come back from injury and Brophy pushing though, it's looking promising.

Just reading this thread started by Pineapple about O'Keefe on the Bohs forum. They seem to speak positively enough about him. Left wing looks to be his best position.

**kdjaC** · 19/07/2006, 2:08 PM

O Keefe was a decent player for Pats best used with a bigger striker , odd that Bohs let him go. Were after him for a while unless they making room for someone.....
