When you sign an average stop gap player you are stuck with him for 1-2 years as its not easy to offload players when based in Cork. You are also wasting a squad place & using up a portion of your wage budget.
In Dublin its a lot easier to offload a player on loan & get someone else to pay some of the wages.
No need for more than 20 squad players maximum anyway. U21s can fill bench places if get that badly stuck.
He may not be playing the current young squad players but at least they are being shown they have a chance to make a squad place for themselves.
Rico manager for life...?
