Transfer Rumours 201X Season

**total hoofball** · 03/12/2016, 1:43 PM

Dundalk would want to find a hell of alot more than 20k out of their European money kitty if they want to land a young player who they think is a good enough to be a replacement for Horgan

OK.
€20,025 bid

We have signed Ian Turner from Cork and Dave O'Connor from Rovers.

Why would they negotiate? They know that they hold all the cards if Dundalk really want him.

Obviously I haven't a clue about the circumstances of the bray fella but I often wondered:

A lot of youngfellas are retained by their clubs on small money on two years when they start. Is their anything to stop a club that wants them just giving the youngfella a loan to but out his contract rather than going through all the transfer messing??

They can but a) buying out a contract requires the club to accept a fee, which can be larger than the value of the contract, and b) a transfer fee would still be owed due to the fact he's under 24.

They don't have to negotiate. They can insist on the lad seeing out his contract.

True, but rarely a good idea. Just leaves you with a seriously pi55ed off player for the year.

Very good, run all day for ya, good going forward and very solid defensively too. Was left back his time as Ipswich.

Pi55ed off or not he's still under contract.
Dundalk will sign him if they really want him but will have to pay for the privilege.
Otherwise any player could break his contract just because their club are afraid they will have a pi55ed off player on their hands & contracts would become meaningless.

I'm pretty sure I saw that youngfella training on his first night with the 19's up in Pearse Park astro very early this year/ very late last year. If it's the same boy, then he was head and shoulders ahead of the rest of the 19's squad from what I saw. Very tidy looking player.

Cork, presumably, keeping their spending in check then. That, or we're spending a bit more.

Some chat linking Shane McEleney with Derry, but he has signed for Ottawa Fury.
Bit random, though not the first LoI player they've signed.

**PartySaint** · 06/12/2016, 8:02 AM

Mikey Drennan close to signing for Bray and also Danny Furlong might be going there but Keegan wants him to follow him to Galway

**Longfordian** · 06/12/2016, 8:30 AM

Furlong has gone to New Zealand. Doesn't sound like he's planning on being back for the LOI season but you never know I suppose.
