Transfer Rumours

[Black and White]

Got a text message there saying David Cassidy is in talks with Fingal...along with a few others from Dundalk

[CSFShels]

Ah jesus. Why can't he just go play Premiership football with Dundalk?

[Black and White]

Why do you say this??

[Lamper.sffc]

Rumour is Dave Mcallister is talking to sporting fingal as well as other clubs. He did really well at shels when he was on loan from Drogheda.

[Black and White]

Drogheda might want to keep the likes of him now though so!!he will get his palce hima nd Williams who did really well for us 2 years ago!!

[Lamper.sffc]

Mcallister was very good against us in our last game with shels. Scored a lot of goals for them from midfield, 6 or 7 i think from only half a season with that lot.

Id say, like a lot of things, it might just come down to money.

[Black and White]

He did score 3 or 4 pens towards the run in as Flood missed a few!!

[Lamper.sffc]

didnt realise some of them where pens. Dont want him now. Rubbish:D

[Black and White]

Should be used to that though!!!:D

[The Lilywhites]

McAllister 7 goals including 3 penalties, as far as I know.

[GalwayRed]

Drogheda might want to keep the likes of him now though so!!he will get his palce hima nd Williams who did really well for us 2 years ago!!
Is he not out of contract with Drogheda now? Anyway regardless of how many of his goals were penalties for shels the fact is he was a great player for us and is of premier division standard. It would be a good signing for Fingal but i hope its just a rumour.

this thread title should be amended to the shels/dundalk/fingal swapshop

[gufct]

Geez Demoshield,are you a Private I or something?Slightly creepy how you had all those quotes from him:).

I ha ve pulled him or her up a few times over different GUFC Rumours which have been totally off the radar keeps on spouting s***e though :(

[holidaysong]

Declan 'Fabio' O'Brien in talks with Dundalk FC according to LMFM..

[Black and White]

REALLY...good goalscorer and would be sweet to nick the drogs captain and most talked about and decorative player from them!!!:D

[The Lilywhites]

He wouldn't score too many if he's sitting in the stand injured every week.

[DRDoc]

Dundalk and Gill had serious problems attracting a striker last summer - but now that they are in the premier, they wont have any such problems - so for me its a serious surprise that Connor is looking at OBrien

He is approaching 30 and has had a lot more injuries than most

[tiktok]

Cork City can't currently offer a contract to anyone.

Quigley is one of the best keepers around IMO.
I would have liked to see him at CCFC, if we were allowed to sign anyone that is.

[pineapple stu]

Derry/U.c.d fans....is he an improvement on Bennion if true??
I've not seen much of Bennion, but yes, Quigley is much better.

Quality keeper.

[OneRedArmy]

Only played a handful of games for us.

Very unlucky to get injured on the opening day (against UCD!) and didn't get a look in again given Ger Doherty's form.

[Lamper.sffc]

Gary O Neil is poised to sign for us according to this.

Definitely a very good keeper, really unlucky to get injured and loose his place to a very inform Doherty. Couldnt get back in, anytime he got a game looked very good. up there in the top 3-4 keepers in the league from what ive seen with Derry and his days with UCD.

Sounds suspiciously like a United poster on this site, ahem

Does this not mean Davin O' Neill's signing to them has to be cancelled?:confused:

Cork have since denied that there's an embargo placed on them and say that they are fully compliant with Licencing. Whatever that means.

I wonder who told them that. The club licensing committee haven't met, and don't make statements

[Mr A]

Um, they haven't paid their players their owed back money though and no agreement is in place yet- so they're in breach of licensing right?

[Longfordian]

That's the logical view alright Mr A but maybe they feel Licencing doesn't cover ex-employees and they have deals done with those they've re-signed.

[Dodge]

Relax, you'll get in because of Drogheda anyway. No need to worry about cork...

[Mr A]

I'm not worried at all about staying in the premier, just surprised that CCFC make such a strong statement regarding their compliance when it seems like they obviously are not quite there yet.

[HarpoJoyce]

Potential Sponsors and future Service Providers?
They are selling themselves to a significant slice of the business community. The presentation of potential rewards from high profile competitions needs to continue.

Other posters on here wish every club, every organisation and every decision was stripped to the bare bones so those posters may ridicule them (only to be negative.). When that is denied them they get very irate.

I was only joking Mr A. Or at least only half joking.

Whats the story with Shamrock Rovers and a new manager???John Gills now available!!!;)

They have far more important things to be fretting about than the appointment of First Team Managers.

Why would you want him at Rovers..:confused:

[Lim till i die]

Like everyone didn't see that one coming weeks ago. :)

You're going to be rather good this year aren't ye. :(

[Black and White]

I dont want Gill to sign for anyone...was just putting that out in the open like!!;)

[holidaysong]

Personally, I hope John Gill gets back into management as soon as possible. There must be an opening at some first division club. He has won that division twice now and I don't see why he couldn't do it again..

[tiktok]

Um, they haven't paid their players their owed back money though and no agreement is in place yet- so they're in breach of licensing right?

We're not in breach of that licencing rule until January 31st [though only because that rule is so poorly written and can be interpreted in a number of ways]. Currently, there is no reason to deny CCFC a licence, we're not required to have paid the back pay yet, if we're still in the same position on February 1st as we are now, only then would we be in breach of licensing rules.

McGinn to Celtic has popped up again. €250k wouldn't be too bad for a player who has only really had one good season.

He is now an international footballer so should command a higher transfer fee than that really. He is a real shining light of LOI football and If Derry are to sell it should be for more with a sell on clause, friendly game against celtic and bonues for playing a certain amount of games for Celtic and then for Norn Iorn.

[pineapple stu]

Beggars can't be choosers and all that.

[BrayUnknowns]

Ah i think Derry are solid enough, well a hell of a lot more solid than most clubs in the LOI. I think they can afford to play hard ball to a certian extent.
£500,000 to Celtic is nothing ! sell on clause of 10%, friendly match, £250,000 if he plays 50 plus games for Celtic's 1st team and a further £250,000 if he plays 25 plus games for the North. Good deal for all involved....

Jesus that sounds like a deal i'd make in Football Manager ! :D

[Dodge]

Its nothing to do with Derry needing the money. its about spending money on player thats untested even in a league who's last 3 high profile exports haven't earned their transfer fee (McCourt, O'Donovan, Mooney)

True, but in Football, most youth/young players that a club try to sign are a gamble. Clubs know this and they take the risk that comes along with it.

[Burny89]

We don't want a friendly with Celtic, they still owe us a second game from the Paddy McCourt deal anyway. However if the first friendly with Celtic is anything to go by then we'll be losing money on the next two. 1st team my ass!!!

I think Derry fans are getting fed up being asked to pay for Celtics transfer dealings with us. A friendly game against Swansea would probably generate more interest than the next Celtic game will.
