[Bertola]

we've made a bid for him according to Pete O'Rourke

[Nick]

Bury defender?

 

[Otis]

Which team? Which position?

 

[Bertola]

Bury defender?

that's the guy

 

[fernandopartridge]

We must be anticipating Willis going

Yeah. My thoughts too. Either Willis or Davies.

 

[luwalla]

Eoghan , Eoghan , Eoghan O.. up the football league we go

 

[Nick]

23 year old right sided centre half.

2 goals in 17 games in League 2 this season.

Has played in the Champions League

82 games in his career so not mega experienced.

 

[fernandopartridge]

He's a centre half but apparently been playing well as a holding midfielder at Bury. Excellent passer by all accounts.

Walsall miss out on Celtic defender Eoghan O'Connell

Do you know any Bury fans who have watched him rather than me Googling to find out more? Or is that from one of them?

I used to work with one but don't know any anymore. I read that on their forum.

Now it makes sense.

Bury have signed Jordan Rossiter from Rangers today so perhaps they need to free up a space.

Makes me laugh this deadline day bidding if we like the player what’s stopped us rushing about frantically trying to get deals done on the last day

Getting ogogo off the wage bill probably

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Could be looked upon as a potential replacement for Ogogo and/or Doyle? Plus could fit in in place of either Willis or Davies at the back?

Just messaged my Bury supporting mate, let you know what he says if he gets back to me.

 

[woody11462]

He says:
'Good defender 95% of the time but very probe to a silly mistake. He does like to play it out from defence rather than hoof it but sometimes he's better to just boot it. I'd be sorry to lose him'

 

[matesx]

I’ve seen him play for Celtic a couple of times

I thought he was excellent and was surprised when they let him go.

Be a good signing.

 

[sw88]

Proper Irish name if ever I’ve heard one!

Is that an actual spelling of ‘Owen’?

 

[matesx]

Ian

 

[SkyBlueCRJ]

Rumours doing the rounds on Twitter that we are keeping tabs and could potentially be putting another bid in, in the summer window

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

He says:
'Good defender 95% of the time but very probe to a silly mistake. He does like to play it out from defence rather than hoof it but sometimes he's better to just boot it. I'd be sorry to lose him'

…..he'll fit in perfectly.

 

[covcity4life]

Playing out from back is way forward

Happy if he signs

 

[JimmyHillsbeard]

According to my Bury supporting workmate, he’s been incredible all season but had an absolute stinker last Saturday and was substituted at half time.

I suggested our interest in him had turned his head ... ;-)


In other news apparently “Stokes has been found out”.

Doris?
Always knew it was bullshit...

 

[Winny the Bish]

Came across this on Twitter. Have to assume this is why Robins wanted him and why he was singled out by recruitment team. Back in for him in the summer?
