    Truth is,  I haven't a clue who he is so he could be Franz Beckenbauer for all I know! I really hope Marty and Gallen know what they are doing.

    Rochdale came 18th in our league did they? So on paper not one to set the pulses racing but nobody got promoted on paper alone I guess.

    EDIT - Oh they came 18th in league 2 - is this a promotion into the championship standard signing? Bloody hope so.
    Given the choice of him, Tucker and Boyle I would have taken him.  Needs a partner though.
    Lavelle?
    Not sure Lavelle has enough about him in possession

    May your feet be swift, and your tackle hard.
    I get that said about me, all the time

    Welcome Eoghan.
    You have a really fabulous accent.
    Now make sure you're a winner in a winning team.

    Eoghan is a Cork man.

    Sounds a very promising signing, and on a free.

    Pleased with any player that the team he's leaving are gutted to lose.

    Hard centre back. Decent first signing and zero leaks 
    And this is basically the point a few are trying to make, just because nobody knows doesn’t mean there is nothing happening. Which makes the panic/ concern all a little unnecessary, bring on the it’s only one though comments!!😂🤷🏻‍♂️🙄

    Very happy with this signing, an up and coming player by the sounds of things. Given a 3yr contract and should be very good alongside Lavelle.
    Now 5 or 6 more signings like this and we could be a force to be reckoned with.
    A good start to our transfer dealings in my opinion.

  • Never heard of him before 7:30 tonight but I'm always disproportionately excited when we sign another club's captain. I'd have a team of 11 skippers on the pitch if I was in charge.

    I mean it'd be a disaster tbf and training would be carnage.

    Welcome to the mad house.

    I'm fine with the signing, but would caution that he's leaving a poor side in the division below us, it would be really worrying if he didn't stand out as being better than his teammates.

    His map is very similar to Famewo’s but more evenly spread across the width of the pitch. Famewo didn’t tend to want to cross the invisible line down the middle of the pitch.

    A special welcome to Eoghan from me as he's the first player to sign since I joined CL. He looks a good'un to me and I'm sure he'll do us proud.👍

    On what the Cork native can bring to his side, Charlton boss Garner commented: “Eoghan’s a player that I’ve admired for a long time and it was nice that when I came in he also featured high on the club’s recruitment list.

    “In possession he’s fantastic, he’s very intelligent, comfortable receiving the ball, very brave, which is a big quality, and he has a fantastic range of pass. In addition to that, he’s also a great defender."

    The more I read about this bloke the more I'm wondering why he has joined us 😂

    How much does Southall get from this free transfer? He was central to both Clubs.

    Never heard of him until 20 minutes ago, but based on what I’ve read of him here and on Wiki (which, let’s be honest, is all I need to form an expert opinion on his merits) he seems like a decent signing. Glad we’re starting to get new faces in, hope to see a few more in the near future.

    2nd most passes in the entire of League 2 last season. It’s going to be great to see a cb really comfortable on the ball. 

    I really like how all the management and club are so clear on their new direction and really picking the right people for the style of play.

    He seems like a great person, good footballer and a free transfer. Hopefully a great start to the summer recruitment.
