Confirmed Alfie Devine joins on a Season Long Loan (Option to Buy included).

😍

I think he’s smartly keeping his options open as anyone would, but i definitely believe if we activate the buy option he would come to us.

He would be the star of the team. We all love him. Probably the highest paid player on a long term contract.

Might be just blind hope 🤣

Here’s the full interview if anyone’s not heard it.

Seems like a great lad and clearly got his head screwed on. We have to push the boat out to sign him.

At the end of the day though, unfortunately, money shouts the loudest.

This is gonna make it feel even worse when it doesn't happen 😭

Oh I don't know my old neighbours didn't have a pot to piss in and you could hear her scream at the kids from down the road.

Future captain. I noticed last Saturday when there was a break in play he was the one who went over to Hecky on the sideline to discuss tactics and then relay the message to a couple of his teammate's

Going to Sting seeing this lad rip it up somewhere else next season

I saw that and Ben Whiteman was of the team mates he went over to

Well every little thing he does is magic!

Might improve our throw ins too . . .

Might be my favourite loanee ever just in terms of ability. Up there with Sepp

Obviously McGeady is the standard bearer but Devine is 13 years younger than McGeady was when he was here

9 years younger I think you'll find.

 

[OB1]

9 years younger I think you'll find.

Had it in my head he was like 33 when he joined us. Then again I also didn’t realise it was 10 years since he joined 😬

 

[noelpne]

This is exactly why PR shouldn't really have said what he did, because will be even more backlash now if we don't sign him.

We're used to what he says now.
A leopard can't change its spots .

That is probably more to do with a tactic or something he wanted a Devine to do. When Mads was on the pitch he was regularly going over in to the sidelines for a chat with Hecky

Let's save ourselves a whole load of time and trauma, and just nip all the will-he-won't-he sign crap in the bud right now.

Andy Moran is the Alfie Devine replacement:

Anyone who thought we'd pay the agreed fee needs to give their heads a wobble. Seriously.

Never seriously believed we would.
Don’t know the bloke but it’s quite possible this recent shit show would have put him off anyway.

I can’t see him signing when there’s no hope of progressing under the current ownership.

This club is as stale as a British Rail sandwich from a 1975 Morcambe and Wise gag.
