It didn't do Robbie Benson any harm staying at UCD until he was 23 playing in the First Division while he completed his Masters

The lad has good options, whichever way he goes. Neither option is a poor one.

Mysterious... It originally read:

So that leads one to question, is it no longer fake news? or did someone get in his ear and tell him to delete that as it might look bad? Or was it one of the LADS at UCD who took his phone and tweeted it out as top notch bantering because they are, loike, pure legends, loike.

Rather than taking up the resources of the Player/Athlete, maybe fans can return to the journalist/hack and question them. The hack would love the attention and consider his work justified.
I've used the presumed south Dublin speak myself (poster below). But our Fans are from everywhere, just like the Players.

Rumours that Blues are signing a free agent defender from England. We only have four defenders in the squad with John Kavanagh out injured for a good while. If he's a free agent would it still be July before he can play?

If he was a free agent before the last window closed then he can play as far as I know. If he was signed to anyone but contract just finishing at the end of the English season then he can't play until July.

Conor Clifford to Limerick is an example of the first case and Alan Mannus to Shamrocks for the latter

Thanks lads. Yeah I guess it's a case of him being released by his club around Christmas maybe so he'd be available to play immediately. I hear he's a young right back/defensive midfielder so would help with our lack of squad depth.

John O'Shea has been described as many things, but a young right back/defensive midfielder I've not heard in a while..

Hahaha No....I won't rule Sheasy out of coming home though!! I hear now that this player might be signing with an English Championship club and being loaned to us so that would mean he wouldn't be available until July. He trained with us for the last few weeks apparently.

So, Ronan Curtis is away to Portsmouth at some point, confirms Kenny Shiels is a strange, nautically-themed way.

There was talk that Dundalk had expressed an interest in the winter, Derry had valued him in 6 figures, end of interest, as he'd be free end of season, but if any side from championship or even L1 comes in, no contest with wages.

If true and with Wigan getting promoted that move would be a no brainer move for McEneff. Cook would be well aware of what was needed to step up.

Not sure if McEneff would be Cook's type of player. He likes players who are disciplined and can do a bit of everything as well as playing passing football. McEneff is explosive and obviously scores lots of goals but he'd be the sort of player you give a bit of freedom to not track back, etc.

5k? Don't be silly. He's on a minimum of 10k with a 1k bonus per start. That's why he's on the bench so much.

Is this meant as a tongue in cheek slant? All players should turn down an offer to play with Rovers as it seems to hugely inflate their offers elswhere, well according to Rovers fans in the know!

How much money have Waterford got? (I know these guys wouldn't be huge pay, but it's just a lot of new and - for the LoI - decent signings all at once)

O'Shea to Reading anyway, so that'll end that rumour.

That only postpones it for a year!! :D If we can still do a job next year when he's 38, I could see him coming home.

Yeah we're definitely spending a bit more now. I say "we" but realistically it's up to Lee Power what he wants to invest - it's not exactly coming out of club funds. You could call it a gamble, but at this stage I think it would be just naive business not to try to secure European football given the financial rewards there. Last summer, he got Paul Keegan in to help ensure we won promotion and that definitely paid off. This year, we're in a great position in third so I suppose he's speculating a little to accumulate and keep us ahead of Derry and Pat's. If we qualify for Europe, then it'll be well worth it. I know Rovers and Bradley prove that spending doesn't guarantee success, but if a few shrewd signings keep us in line for the Europa League, then it'll be priceless.

Another way of answering is that Waterford still have no money, but Lee Power has a lot. Our aim is to build the club up off the field so that it doesn't completely collapse whenever he leaves.

With international caps behind him now, and an international goal to his name, is €300k selling themselves short? If the rumoured interest in him does stretch to four or five clubs, and he has 18 months left on his contact, is it too much to suggest that they should be demanding a minimum of €500k?
