 Championship January signings
Topic Originator: king lad  
Date:   Thu 9 Jan 12:09

Falkirk sign defender Darragh O`Connor on loan from York City, who was previously at Morton and Motherwell.

They also sign Eamonn Brophy on loan from Ross county.

Ayr United signed Cole McKinnon on loan from Rangers

McPake tried to sign Brophy last season I think. Presumably O`Connor is a replacement for Luke Graham who was recalled by Dundee. I wonder if MFW is keeping him out of the team at York?

Yes, we missed out on Brophy last season, hard to judge how he`ll do as he`s not scored many at all for Ross county recently but on paper should score plenty in that Falkirk side dropping down a level

Presumably MFW must be doing very well if York City signed him permanently for a fee, I read that O`Connor signed for them in the summer but has been injured up until now.

Eamonn Brophy, the Loan Wolf.

What is it with Dom Thomas he can’t settle at one team?
His talent is undoubted and one of the most natural wingers I’ve seen at our level.

I agree that it would be good to see different names. I think the visa situation from Europe makes it difficult and 2 weeks left of the window it won’t happen. Also new owners won’t be set up to analyse our current crop with what we need. The summer will be interesting and in the meantime I expect a couple of biggish names on loan to get us away from relegation. A striker and a winger to get the other players wanting to step their game up.

QP will have received a fee for Dom Thomas as he`ll be under contract. Derry seem to be doing a bit of recruitment for the new season which starts next month. Isn`t Paul McMullan there?

I feel like this is very harsh. He was with us for 2 and a half years. Then was with Queens Park for 2 and a half years. Playing for a total of 2 clubs in 5 years feels like he was much more ‘settled’ than a lot of players are these days. It certainly doesn’t seem terrible.

Agreed. Lower league clubs, short term contracts are pretty much the norm. So 2 clubs in 5 years is nothing out of the ordinary.

Yes and no. 2 and a half years seems reasonable to me. On the other hand he royally shafted us when we needed him so the harsher the better in my book.

I don’t realise that. The first I heard he was going to Queens when he gave me a wry smile when I asked why he wasn’t starting against Queens at East End.
Do players have to let their employing club know that a pre contract agreement has been made with another club?
I always wondered after that chat with him why Yogi had even stripped him for the game if that was known.
All very odd to me.

I don`t think the fans knew until the end of the season but I would have thought the club would have to be told. I`ve never understood the point of PCAs as they can be broken without penalty I think. There was a test case many years ago.

Aren`t PCAs just an attempt at saying "hands off"?

I know it`s just how it is, but I can`t say I was impressed with how it went with Dom Thomas. I suppose that`s just football and he did nothing wrong.

Essentially yes. I don`t understand the big deal about him securing a deal for when his current one expired. These guys have bills to pay as well and signing a PCA ensured he had an income once his existing deal expires.

Hardly a step up for him if he came to EEP as things stand.

You would have thought the chance of going up to the SPL would be an incentive to stay with Falkirk ?

Maybe their cup exit has prompted him to look elsewhere ?

I`d guess there is a team at a higher level interested and he has decided he wants to go so is trying to force it.

He`s missed a lot of this season with injury and not got back to the same levels so maybe more to it.

Total conjecture I know.

Sounds like he`s fell out with the club/fans & Raith have agreed to a loan move that doesn`t harm them (like the Vaughan move did a few years ago that practically relegated them to League 1)

It`s a surprise to see him move down the leagues but makes sense from a Rovers perspective.

According to the Courier Sam Stanton told Raith he didn`t want to continue playing for them some time ago. He still has another year left on his contract.

Also in the Courier, MT is saying he has spoken a few times to the new owners but not about money although he is hoping to bring in a couple of players this month. Rhys Breen will be returning after Annan`s match this weekend and there could be players going out to make way for signings. He has `big plans` for the club but the priority is obviously to get out of the relegation zone.

All this is repeated in his pre-match interview on COWS. Josh Cooper picked up an injury in the reserve game against Livi and won't be available but Todd and Ngwenya should be.
