He probably thinks the same about you and arctic flower counting …:yawning_face::yawning_face:

Or, as a relatively young man in the game, he could be developing and getting better.

So Drogheda into the semi finals.

Possible opponents in the semi finals are Bohemians, Wexford (a first division/second tier club) and the winners of the quarter final between Derry City and Sherbourne.

Getting well ahead of myself now.
The winners of the FAI Cup qualify for the UEFA Conference league.

From wiki.
“FAI Cup winners enter the UEFA Conference League at the Second qualifying round.Each club that qualifies for the UEFA Conference League gets prize money worth up to 10 million pounds”.

Clearly a better option than Josh, DJ or Jamma. Good touch and pace. Great prospect. Alongside Lowe and Cleary, he’ll be key to our play-off push.

He’s doing well there but its a poor standard of Football let’s not forget most on here slated him last season and said he was shit now all of a sudden He’s better than any of our strikers.Utter tosh people have short memories he wouldn’t be anywhere near our first team but i do agree it’s good for him to be scoring goals it’ll boost his confidence no end.

It was a much stronger league last year when Freddie was there….:thinking:

We won’t know until he gets back will we.

But if DJT wasn’t ours, and Drog had picked him up from Stoke, he’s the right age, shown some promise knowing where the net is etc we’d be thinking let’s get him over and take a look.

Might come back and still be ineffective. But also I think he warrants a few months / season in the National League and then a crack here.

I fail to see many positives in multiclub ownership I think it’s a bad idea, but more control of loanees ain’t bad.

Let’s be fair, it is a poorer standard, it’s just silly to pretend otherwise, HOWEVER he’s performing at above that level at this point because his record is outstanding. Maybe there is hope.

Probably the same ones Evan Weir looked like Roberto Carlos against.

He is on loan at Drogheda until June isn’t he?

At which point his contract is just about to run out.

I’ll be surprised if we see him in a Walsall shirt again.

I thought he was back in January

I thought that his loan is until November/December, the end of the season in Ireland.
Could be wrong though!

Apologies.
You are correct.
DJT’s loan is until June 2025.

I’m not sure of the ins and outs of International loans but can he not be recalled in January ??

I assume so.
Like yourself, I am not sure though.

I don’t know if we put any options in ? Or if we are entitled to a fee because of his age.?

Seems strange to sign a striker then loan him out until his contract ends
