The timing is a bit odd to say the least.

Maybe a better shop window would be the next round of the Champions League! Haha..

I wouldnt say they are serious about it to be honest, it just looks like a stupid attempt to annoy Bohs before the second leg. The quote is stupid anyway, the Welsh league is not a shop window for any player.

If they are mind games, then sweet Jesus, TNS are bad. As if a good prospect like Madden would ever consider leaving the LOI for the Welsh League. The only ripple this would cause on the Bohs ocean is that of laughter!

Poor poor attempt at mind games . . . and could be spun as acceptance that Paddy is superior to their own strikeforce.

Madden should look from TNS the kind of money this chap is meant to be getting

Wouldn't pay any attention to this - apparently the bloke spouting all this nonsense about "step ups" & "shop windows" was so hammered at their training session in Dalymount that he was asleep on team bus

"I'm sure that Paddy Madden could play at a much higher level in the English system and that we could provide an ideal shop window for his talents," says TNS managing director Mike Harris.
What a fcuking wind up.

Bohs should retaliate by putting in an offer for a sheep.

what a joke from this club, amateurs. bohs shouldnt even respond to this until they wipe the floor with them in the return leg.

Mike Harris has always been a bit eccentric......I recall before an FAW Premier Cup game once, where TNS were playing SCFC, he suggested in all seriousness that the three football league clubs (Cardiff, ourselves, and Wrexham) would be better off in the Welsh Premier. But he's a character, at least.

Incidentally, I haven't a clue how Neath are affording Lee Trundle's alleged £2.5k p/w wages (that would probably be their entire budget blown on one player), but it certainly makes them contenders for the Welsh title this year. Hell, he'll probably end up playing in Europe against one of your teams next year.

cymro no offence but id say the lads at bohs had a good laugh at it. would be some step back to leave a club like bohs for the TNS.

I think that's his point. This is a news grab, not a real bid. Remember when Liverpool were trying to get into the CL as holders but England already had four teams? Harris offered Liverpool a play-off for one spot. It's just getting people talking about TNS, and it's worked.

not talking about TNS more laughing id say...

Only people who'd be laughing are those who know who Paddy Madden is and who don't know who Mike Harris is; that's not a lot of people.

Well who would have thought it.
This is a sad for bohs I have to say and I feel sorry for them. Was really looking forward to the next round.
Who knows, maybe even RTE might have shown it.

Not amateurs, proper pros.
What a joke from Bohs.;)
How dare they make an offer for superstar Madden playing at the Big Club.
Where did this superiority complex regarding LoI teams come from?
