Instinct is it's Michael Duffy, Irish winger at Dundalk. Mick Harford went over to watch him earlier in the month.
To be fair I think it was one of those deals that just worked for everyone. He had a poor second half of the season and was rightly going in to last season as 4th choice behind...
Likely something like this.
GK Marek Stech
RB Jack Stacey
CB Alan Sheehan
CB Sonny Bradley
LB Dan Potts
DMC Alan McCormack
MCL Luke Berry
MCR Jorge Grant
AMC Andrew Shinnie
FWD James Collins
FWD Danny Hylton
Subs- Shea, Justin, Pearson, Glen Rea, Pelly Ruddock, Elliot Lee, Harry Cornick...
Really good signing. The best of our crop of youngsters who went on an FA Cup run a few years back. Young and athletic and very confident on the ball. A full season in league two will do him the world of good.
Happy with that. Would have like a permanent but it seems Forest weren't budging on it. Upgrade on Olly Lee for sure.
Probably business done now unless Dan Potts goes in which case we'll need a replacement. Sneaking suspicion we might try and squeeze one more midfielder in if one becomes available.
Yea have since seen this. Have to see how it pans out. I like Potts, but if he isn't going to sign a contract we should cash in. He's not irreplaceable.
No idea how the Grant thing will go however all internet traffic has Him headed to Sunderland.
Potts notable by his absence in the pre season pics. Makes sense to sell with a year left on his contract and if we have just signed on a full back. Takes away some of our aerial threat however we just signed Bradley and Pearson so swings and roundabouts. Likelihood is Justin will play left back...
Just signed Matty Pearson from Barnsley on 3 year deal, undisclosed fee. What's he like Barnsley fans, can't say I know too much.
If we are looking to play him fullback you'd think it means either James Justin or Dan Potts will be off, likely the latter.
Big Mick Harford was in Derry over the weekend scouting the Derry vs Dundalk game. Local journos reckon he was scouting former Celtic Winger Michael Duffy who by all accounts had a stormer and is soon to be out of contract. Some of the fake Twitter transfer accounts have picked it up and some...
Happy with this. Was exceptional first part of the season and then tailed off a bit when the pitches got heavy. Hopefully the better pitches and less cloggers in League One might suit him better.
Suggestions from some it may be a busy day for us today. The fact that we have announced this early...
We need a CB, maybe 2. Definitely 2 midfielders, probably 3. Reckon he will splurge on a forward too.
I regard to JJ, and not to come across like an 'ITK' wanker here, he was set to go Brighton in January with a loan back however they tried to change the structure of the payments at the last...
In a way it was surprising in so much as you'd have to assume the SPL is a step up and I'm not sure Olly is anywhere near that standard.
He had a strong season for us and plays well in a team that is doing well however when things were going wrong 18 months ago he was completely anonymous and...
Ours is out now. Scott Cuthbert, Johnny Mullins, Lawson D'ath, Jordan Cook, Kavan Cotter all free to a good home.
Olly Lee signs for Hearts.
Glen Rea and McCormack offered new deals.
Slew of automatic and optional extensions taken up.

Solid centre half who will do well at league 2 for another few years. Very good in the air for someone his height (6 foot 1ish). Not the quickest over the ground and his footballing ability is nothing better than 'Good' but you'll always get 100% from him. If you can keep him fit you'll have a...
