PlayItLivo Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) To Dundalk for an undisclosed fee https://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/2018/july/02072018-patrick-mceleney-departure/ Shame we never really got to see if he was much good. But with Byrne and Baxter hopefully both still here, Mceleney wouldn’t have really got a look in. Edited July 2, 2018 by PlayItLivo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshgaz Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Is that 3 off the books now and Duffus off the wage bill for a bit? Be nice for a few more to go and a signing or two! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Possibly a decent bit of business that, get him on a free then sell him on for a fee 6 months later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he's more of a midfielder, but I remember him playing (well) as a striker. And god knows we could use a goalscorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best position for both is in the hole, but one of them will probably have to play deeper if we want to accommodate them both into the same team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamoafc Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) an Irish journo on twitter saying they paid 55,000 Euros so just short of 50k for him. Edited July 2, 2018 by adamoafc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolatic Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 At least that's 50 grand more than we paid for him. I'll settle for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Maybe about what we paid on wages? So we're all square, and we got a few average performances out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Didn't show anything for me. Back to a semi pro level. Good luck to him. Blew his shot at the big leagues. Move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In May we had 17 +5 so room for 1 more currently. (Baxter, Jamie Stott & Uche added) Edited July 2, 2018 by singe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluehobbit Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Not a surprise. Seemed to use his feet and body well but like a lot of players from nonleague or part-time he seemed really weak physically. I do wonder who we have got incoming though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nohairdontcare Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I think he’s the type of player who needs to be in comfortable surroundings to thrive. Unfortunately for all concerned, we are anything but comfortable. “The best player in Ireland” tag would have been more realistic if he had progressed to his potential. Pity it didn’t work out. Best of luck to him from here on in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted it doesn't say a lot for the League of Ireland if it's not feeding the national team when it's very short of quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
