Ex Irish international Joey O'Brien rumoured to Shamrock Rovers
Former international, with dodgy knees, who hasn't played for a couple of years - sounds like Rovers might be carrying on a recent trend if they sign him

We have to take a few chances we don't have your money.

Danny Kane played for us today in our friendly with Cobh. Caulfield says a deal to sign him will hopefully be done Monday or Tuesday.

That's a fair point, sure Finn had to get himself a job with your sponsors to supplement his 3 year deal.....

Paul McGrath would fit nicely in to that trend - its all about the name at Shamrock Rovers!

Conor McCormack rumoured to be a target for Bristol City. That would be a massive loss if it turned out to be true.

Seen one LOI Twitter page posting up that too.
The very next tweet I saw was this:

If Bristol City were genuinely interested in him then surely they’d have contacted him towards the end of last season to let him know they were interested. Doesn’t make any sense that they would suddenly show interest after him signing a two year deal.

Don’t think it was a LOI page it was some ITK transfers page but yeah it’s mad how it caught fire from there

Seen where it originated from alright. Just noticed a whole load of those LOI transfers pages all jumped on it that they were "reliably informed" of this deal.

That's true actually, didn't think of that. By all accounts it seems like a dodgy source so...

Some move for him though. That is a decent Bristol side and if they are willing to pay E250k, they are serious about him.

Conor McCormack at nearly 28 years of age signing for a team for 250k that has a very strong percentage chance of playing in the Premier League next season....
ME HOLE of any chance of that happening or being anyway true.
That 15 year old who runs that twitter LOI transfers 'insider' tripe needs to be shut down

I'm surprised at Padraic Cunningham's decision to turn down full time football, European football and a shot at winning trophies. My hunch was that he would have been first choice striker

If by that you mean Cunningham turned down a deal from Dundalk, thank your absolute lucky stars. He’s not capable of being first choice striker for a ****poor junior team, never mind a side with eyes on winning back the Premier Division title.

He turned down a deal with Cork apparently (https://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/2018/0118/934254-cunningham-happy-to-choose-fbd-over-champions-league/).

Oh? Dennehy’s long been seen as a pain in the hole and Mark Sullivan is far from a shrinking violet.

They had an 'incident' when playing together for us.

Anyone want to start an Eamon Zayed back to the League of Ireland rumour?

Heard Zayed is coming back to the League Of Ireland. Cork or Dundalk or someone. Limerick maybe, possibly Derry.

Csbinteely....straight from the horse's mouth
He was in the Clanree Hotel lobby the other night and Ollie Horgan was there. Must have been signing as everything went all blurry and unfocussed.

apparently Conte is in for him.
I know this is off topic BUT....
Classic on the latest TFTES podcast Derek Tracey was being interviewed (17 years with Rovers) and he was telling a story about how he was dropped for one of the matches , he was ****ed off and went into town to get hammered with a couple of pals in the HARP bar on O Connell street , the slow set came on (remember them) and he was dancing with this girl who asked him what he did for a living,
Him " I play football for Shamrock Rovers"
Her " I have a cousin who plays football for Shamrock Rovers"
Him " whats his name"
Her "Derek Tracey "
He said it was just the way his day was going.....

Brentford to spend 200k on Ogbene but apart from being really fast, is he actually any good?

He didn’t get a trial with Chelsea for nothing. He’s a raw talent and will have to improve both physically and his decision making but he’s got the potential to be a star. Best of luck to the lad. Not looking good for Limerick.

The fee could fund 5-6 new players
Cork will prob be due a development fee if the Ogbene move goes through, I think Dundalk will also be entitled to something if Michael O'Connor completes his move.
In other moves, Dundalk still after 2 new players, was meant to be 3 but appears only 2 now, one will definitely be a striker.

Noticed Wexford had a Ryan Nolan in their team vs Bray. That's not the young lad from inter is it?

That’s the big question tho, will it be reinvested and who can they realistically get in at this point?

saw him a few times... very very quick feet while in possession of the ball, a sure way to win a penalty while in oppositions penalty box..

Will be re invested alright,but not on players i would think.....outstanding debts.
