2024 Season, Arrivals and Departures

Waterford isn’t a bad shout considering his Kilkenny roots if he’s looking to settle close to home similarly to Carlow man Padraig Amond

**Philosophizer** · 29/04/2024, 8:28 PM

Even with the Caulfield connection I can’t see him wanting to move to a team that will probably be fighting relegation. Last time he was playing under Caulfield it was a team that was top of the pile and playing in Europe.

Shamrock Rovers perhaps a likely destination for him?

Plays to many games

Rovers looking in control against Drogs. Hopefully we just close it out now.

**Nesta99** · 29/04/2024, 9:36 PM

At 3-0 I think it was well closed out. Bogey team swept aside and the efforts much appreciated!!

Maguire to Galway seem most obvious to me, a relegation release clause would knock out any fears of 1st Division football if there is any. Home town club return would always be possible too. After that its money, Rovers have it and he fits the bill as a former Ireland international and a bit injury prone. If Shels need an additional edge for a run in? Havent follwed his English career much tbh.

That was my first thought.

Wonder does this open the door to a LOI return in July, who would be in the running I wonder.

Someone here will sign him based on the 2016-17 Sean Maguire but after a positive start with Preston he hasn't done much over the past 6 seasons and this most recent season with an awful Carlisle team is a red flag. I can't see Rovers, Derry or Shels going there but I would expect Bohs, Pats, Waterford, Galway and Dundalk all to be interested

he is a walking red flag for anything longer than a 6 month deal or a 12 month pay as you play deal. his hamstrings are absolutely finished , terrible for the lad as he was so quick all those years ago. i could see JC giving him a 2 year deal tbh and i think it'd end in tears. rovers love an injured pet project but even this would be too sick for bradley surely

That would be the least club I would have expected, pretty sure they only play 1 up front, he wont want to sit on the bench, like he did for that half season at Dundalk in 2015 not getting a look in as McMillan was into season 1 and 2 of his height, 2015 and 2016 was his peak.

Maguire in 2017 though, what a player, single handily destroyed Dundalk one BH weekend, possibly May or June in that season, they won 3-1, still say one of the best domestic individual displays I have ever seen in Oriel Park from an opposing player, he got all 3.

**joey B** · 29/04/2024, 11:09 PM

Would Pats not be a good destination for him? Keating hasn’t settled yet and Melia looks a bit too raw yet,could be a decent fit….

id be amazed and disappointed if we gave him a contract

**Nesta99** · 30/04/2024, 3:48 AM

Well he did single handedly prevent a Dundalk 6 in a row!

**Kiki Balboa** · 30/04/2024, 2:37 PM

Maguire in 2017 was probably the most dominant and highest peak performance ever by a single player in the LOI. Utterly outstanding.

Long time since then though...

Richie Towell maybe close to being that dominant? Had better players around him I suppose. Maguire that season was phenomenal. As Nesta says, he stopped the 4 in a row for Dundalk almost by himself. Would nearly hand him a 4 year deal just for that..He could have Towells!
