Cork City manager Tommy Dunne told Cork's RedFM this afternoon that he's in talks with Hartlepool United about bringing Denis Behan back to Turner's Cross on loan.I can't imagine there'd be too many complaints from Hartlepool on this, he hasn't played in a while.
Or as a friend of mine puts it, he's been found out.
He may surprise us, it being Division 1 but i'm not hopeful.


F yer Denis Behan we've a Hynes outside....Nevermind a Hynes, a horse beats a donkey all day long.


Whats the story with George O'Callaghan? Is he still with Cork?I don't believe George is currently signed to our club.

The word on the streets has Peter Hynes signing with us.

So you can SHOVE your Denise Behans!

Hmmm.....Wouldn't know what to make of that signing if true. Could go very well or very poor i would think. Could be wrong but don't think he did too much with Longford.

Wouldn't be expecting too much if I were ye. He scored a few goals for us but overall he didn't exactly ooze commitment and desire. Nobody will be too worried about him leaving.

Ciaran Kilduff has signed for Shamrock Rovers for the second time. Great signing for the Hoops!

Ya i'm not too excited by that signing to be honest. Has he impressed anywhere he has been?

Don't think he cares enough about it, just wanders from club to club picking up his wages. He'll do ok for ye but no more I wouldn't think.

Looking at his list of clubs thats what i was thinking. Hopefully he can have a great season but i was expecting maybe a more quality signing if we want to push for promotion.

Was never really prolific with Shels, looked decent when he tried but was quite lazy aswell it seemed. Although he did manage to bag our goal of the season for 09. http://vimeo.com/8332894 (last of the 3 there)

Will he start ahead of O'Flynn and Sheehan?

Thought Hynes was excellent against Rovers in the cup last year, he bullied Aidan Price form start to finish.

Haven't heard yet about any fee, but still a long way from going all out. There'll be more additions to the squad yet too. Great signing for us too, Shepperd, Twigg and Kilduff is a really exciting front line for years to come, even Twigg is only 27 or so. Plus it's affordable too. Considering this time last year we were outbid for Steven Grey by Bohs paying him a four figured sum per week, what a difference a year makes!

He was actually very good that night. But he was up for that one, his problem isn't a lack of ability he just doesn't seem too bothered about run of the mill games.

There is some kinda fee for him. No idea how much. Foster said a few weeks back that he would of liked to sign Kilduff and put in enquiries for him. But because UCD where entitled to a compensation fee, Foster couldn't offer Kilduff a contract. Its down near the bottom of the first link. Also its mentioned in the second link in the Independent.

Shams signings this summer are all very good players.
We are fighting just to keep our team togethor from last season while your squad now, even before the next few signings is better than last seasons.
The one saving grace about Shams squad is that Mick O'Neill is managing yee, hopefully he can work his magic again this season and make all that bags of potential into very very average LOI players.

Kilduff should be a great addition to the Rovers squad. I hope the money is there for these signings and fees incurred, the last thing the league will need is another champions crashing and burning in a few years.

His magic worked and he won the League !

Being 9 or 10 points ahead in the latter stages of a season, then going 3 points behind Bohs and winning it on goal difference on the last day ofthe season. Not exactly magical in fairness.

Shams have a great squad it has to be said.

Anthony Wolfe training with the Cork City squad over the weekend with a view to signing.

Is Kilduff a confirmed one ya??He was one i was hoping we might nick from under your noses but it was wishful enough thinking. You reckon ye will play a normal 4-4-2 next year with Twigg and Shepperd or Kilduff. We really need to sign a few players but anyone i would have liked to see from inside the league has either moved or committed to another club so hooping Cookie can pull a few scousers out of nowhere that are a success.

He'll put in the odd half of effort - but it'll be whatever half Limerick are playing towards the chipper van.

I would be astounded if that is the upfront fee. A UCD fan suggested 10k elsewhere and that sounds much closer to the mark. Probably add-ons (appearances / winning league) and a sell-on clause.

There are few other clubs in the market that are able and willing to pay fees
SkStu
15/01/2011, 2:23 AM
its what i heard, this is a rumours thread. If UCD got 20k for him, fair play.
Charlie Darwin
15/01/2011, 2:29 AM
20k sounds a bit much for a player who's going to start third in the pecking order behind Sheppard, who's a couple of years younger than him. I think 10k would be a high estimate.

According to the "inside sources" even with our really quite generous under the table payments we still couldnt lure him to Sligo.
What more can we do??

Is this part of a Rovers masterplan? Sign a player from every other PD team giving them each a payout if Rovers win the league.

No probs with match postponements again this season for Rovers

2010 LEAGUE STATS
Karl Sheppard - 33 appearances 8 goals (1 in 4)
Ciaran Kilduff - 35 appearnces 16 goals (1 in 2)

emm interesting!
I suppose UCD didnt have any games televised last year...

Yeah. We've such a poor side that we're gonna need to bribe our way to the league.

Likely to have the best squad by a remarkable distance. Should win the league in a canter.

But this type of deal leaves clubs open to a charge of a conflict of interest

So paying a fee plus extra depending on trophies/appearances is all new is it?

The transfer fee is 20 grand - I'd imagine the add-on isn't going to be much of an incentive to throw a game.

If you offer Bohs a bit of money for one of there players they will let yous beat them in every game for the next 10 years

Although you probably wouldn't have tho pay them off for that to happen

Particularly when clubs usually get their own rewards for winning games (you know, like points and a better place in table, more fans, more money etc etc)

Still don't think for one second that when Rovers beat UCD I won't be on here saying its purekly down to UCD looking to help Rovers. Where's you financial fair play now pineapple stu!?!?!?
