LOI Transfers 2014

[El-Pietro]

Think O'Donovan was supposed to be around €500k with add-ons, but that included Premier League appearances, international caps, etc. so obviously weren't realised.

pretty sure the announced figures for Roy and Benno were inflated. Lennox thought that by advertising larger numbers than received it would increase the fees for players down the line. But of course English clubs were aware of the actuals.

Interesting discussion on a Hull forum about the discrepancies in transfer fees for Lenihan (circa 100 k), Robertson (circa 2.5m), Proschwitz (circa 2.5m) and Maguire (circa 3m).

[Charlie Darwin]

Dead right about people in Ireland not giving a stuff about Irish football teams leading to paltry transfer fees.

Paddy Cregg signs for Rovers according to Neil O'Riordan on twitter just there

[Battery Rover]

Athlone Town

In
Brian Shortall (Shelbourne)

Out
Sean Byrne (Work committments)

[Mr A]

Work Commitments have signed a lot of very decent players down the years, but never seem to get anywhere in the cups. Must be poor management.

[outspoken]

Shorthall is a good signing for athlone.

Dundalk have signed St.Pat CY FC goallkeeper Darren McGarry.No official announcement from the club has been made other than they acknowledged his signing in last nights FAI cup match preview!


.....Young goalkeeper Darren McGarry, who signed for the club recently from junior club St. Pat’s CY on amateur terms, is unavailable due to the fact that he is cup-tied having played for the Ringsend club against St. Patrick’s Athletic in the previous round....

His signing was flagged 2 weeks ago on the Junior soccer portal.

Any fee involved?
Probably a nominal fee for the trouble of having to find another keeper. Chesterfield are apparently lining up a bid for Christy Fagan with MK Dons also interested.

Cliff Byrne has left Derry by mutual consent.

[Mr A]

That'll help balance the books.
