And he didn't even win UCD Player of the Year. :eek:

For shame, those who voted for Ev. :p

Will he be with UCD next year or have anyone bigger clubs been sniffing around him.

Would have thought last year was his time to jump if he really wanted out. This year, for the last year I think, there'll be a decent transfer fee needed to sign him. Don't know who in Ireland could afford that.

Bohs have been sniffing around.

Randomly linked with Fingal on the Shels forum. Which is pretty much everyone who could afford him. (Well, add in Rovers too)

Fingal are going to be linked with everyone as they are (seemingly) going to be in the Premier and have money to splash (for now at least).

And a very unreliable poster for stuff like this. :)

Congrats to Finn. It's a joy to watch him play.

So, how much did you feckers pay? Or is this the usual LoI practice of signing a UCD player and later denying all knowledge of a transfer fee?

Have no idea to be fair.
In fairness I do hope yous are well compensated. Wouldnt be right to keep producing good players and not getting something in return.
Always happy when we get a lad from UCD. They tend to be quality.

I wonder had we got to the stage of actually offering him a contract so that we would be entitled to compensation.

Does that make a difference?

Yeah, it does. Check out number 3.

Interesting. I wonder how that'd work in our position, where 60 days before the season's end, we didn't know what division we'd be in next year. I'd imagine if we stayed down, there's no way we could have matched his salary again next year, which also means you can't get compensation.

Hypothetically, say Finny does really well at Fingal and a club in England buy him for £100k in two years' time. Are we entitled to some of that still?

Yeah, we would be entitled to that no matter what. 2% of the overall transfer is what we would get I think.

Ta.

Link here (http://www.sportingfingal.ie/News/tabid/1260/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/2525/Sporting-Fingal-sign-Finn-and-Clarke.aspx) about Finn, incidentally. Ironically, he says one of the reasons he signed for Fingal was the scholarship he's getting. :eek: I'm sure probably doubling his wage and playing European football helped though. :)
