Transfer Rumours 2012

In terms of money. One would hope that Bohs aren't even paying players 200 a week in their current state.

You talking about Feely? maybe he's offered expenses by Pats or €50 by Bohs. Evan McMillan isn't signing for Pats this year because of work commitments. He's signing for Bohs because that suits.

Its similar to the argument over on boards.ie about Pats and Shels competing with each other for players. Its about who values the players more. Pats might have a budget of, say, 6.5k, and Shels say, 5k. Both managers like Kevin Dawson. Buckley's willing to spend €300 p/w, but Matthews is willing to spend €350 p/w. Add in he's comfortable there etc and he's going to stay there. Just because someone has a bigger budget, doesn't mean they'll outbid everyone with a lower budget for all players.

Good article from Football365 "Go to Ireland for Value, Not Scotland"

According to his dad a few weeks ago he just had to agree on money with Pats and he was definately off.

**David BOHie** · 12/01/2012, 6:37 PM

So what you're saying is he still has to agree a contract before he signs? therefore he hasn't signed

Forrester signed for Pats this evening.

McAuley is away, on loan, to Institute.

Clarke looks pretty certain to sign while McAuley's potential signature could be depending on Coleraine.

Graham Gartland has signed for Shamrock Rovers. He's been wanting that for a good while, should be a good addition for them.

If you dont like a post/poster dont read/respond to it/them. If its me I promise I wont be concerned and save your lecture for somebody interested in your opinion. As you rightly point it "anyone can talk about what they want" so dont need you to decide on the matter for us.

You've finally caught up with the rest of foot.ie, in that even you don't have a clue what you're on about as well

**Longfordian** · 13/01/2012, 10:11 PM

Yeah he'd been released by St. Johnstone.

Hopefully he's right after the injury. Hasn't played for 9 months.

derek foran of sligo any good?? signed by dundalk.

**dong** · 14/01/2012, 2:03 PM

Bit of a David Luiz type. Great on the ball for a centre half but tends to get caught out of position and outmuscled. Not thick and ignorant enough to cut the mustard at the moment IMO.
Having said that, he has a lot of potential and maybe a good run of games could iron out some of those issues.

**Cuyahoga** · 14/01/2012, 3:00 PM

Dan Murray has left Shamrock Rovers. With Gartand arriving, he probably felt it was time to go. Cork City possibly ?

Could never break in to our first team proper, but was brilliant when he was in it bar two or three games where he didn't settle. Disappointed he's gone as he's a more than capable back up to McG and Peers. Enjoys a run at a few midfielders too.

Good stuff seems like a decent signing for us.

Homer, ye signed a good one, Derek is an excellent signing, never got a chance in Sligo IMO (due to quality defenders they have) very good man to man marker, played with Chris Shields and Shane O Neill in Bray, Sean seems to be making good signings..
