There is a little bit more in the YDC with a medical/physio therapy facility, sports science room and video analysis room. The sports science room is very well kitted out and links in with Statsports, but there is a whole lot more there with biomechanic analysis equipment etc. Video analysis is multifuctional with being part of the video capture stuff for biomechanics and also then tactical analysis type stuff. The YDC gym is basic enough but the club was sponsored by a gym that is fully equiped so no need to expand that within Oriel Park currently. There was catering able to be done there but I dont think meal are done inhouse though the players do have lunch I presume in what was the former bar. Like everything else at the club currently its a work in progress but certainly more than the indoor training pitches and an average gym. Lots of scope for adding to!

All that stuffs fairly basic in the bigger picture, maybe i said it the wrong way but I meant facilities that are too good for this league, all the stuff that dundalk have just now training wise is good, when they move to amazing ill be worried.

Players like Chevdukas,Adorjan, & Tagbajumi? Duffy,Jarvis & McEleney etc :D you mean :p

They would have signed had you trained in a car park, im talking about players the next step up

Tagbajumi is lucky a club wanted him at all. Hes awful.

oriel

Agree on Tagbajumi, total waste of a wage, only good news is he was signed on a one year deal. Not even sure anyone would take him on loan. He looked like he had potential, early away game v Rovers, that was about it really.

I remember that match I thought he looked a handful that night. Is he one of these guys who just decided he didn't want to be here or is he just bad

He is no Mansaram! At least he tried and was liked for it. Tagbajumi looks indifferent when he plays, like he doesnt get why he hasnt walked in to a LoI club and be top dog!

Heard he didn't even travel to the Spain training camp a few weeks ago, just a case of running down his contract now. Total loss by DFC but that's the way it goes for some (rare) bad recruitment players, most clubs will have at least one every few years, and the player will use it to his advantage of having a full year paid for essentially doing very little. I can't see how he can even play a minor part for the rest of the season.

I think we'd need to get 2 off the pay roll to be able to bring anyone in. You'd imagine campion will leave, we definitely don't need another right back so maybe John kavanagh could leave also.

If he shows up he will score goals for whoever he plays for . I'd be happy enough but can't see it happening if he was going to sign surely it would have been on July 1st play against cork and in Europe league.

Spurs have bid 200k for Bazunu with the deal to go through after his LC according to the Irish Independent. Should be rejected in my opinion.

Bloody right it should be rejected. They'd want to be offering at least double that imo for Rovers to even consider it. Irish clubs have been getting rode for long enough when it comes to transfer fees.

But for all parties concerned i think the best thing is for that lad to play with Rovers and finish school before he goes anywhere.

I've seen online that he's contracted until the end of 2020. It's a pity they haven't him tied down to anything longer to increase the transfer price. If they've known how good he is for the last year or so you'd think they would have offered him a longer deal.

sbgawa

07/08/2018, 10:45 AM

He has 2.5 years left on his contract if the 2020 thing is correct, how long of a contract do you realistically think he would have signed when he was 14 or 15 ?
Rovers have done well to have him on that long a contract imo.
Regards the paper you wouldn't know what to believe there has been no end of speculation over the last month or so.
I'd agree that 200k isn't enough but at the same time what is enough? 400K ? he is a 16 year old that has great potential but any English team of the calibre of Spurs signing him are signing a prospect not a guy they see going into their first team.
At least if he is going over it will be on a decent contract and not to play in one of the academies for €150 a week like most of the 15 and 16 year olds who go over.

His parents have made it clear he's finishing school at least before he goes anywhere so as far as I'm concerned unless there's an absolutely ridiculous offer before then they should all be rejected because his value can only really rise before then. Aren't shams paying his school fees up to LC ? Great prospect but always a chance he wont develop into the finished article so shams need to make a call to ensure they maximize the money they get for him. While I'm sure the club will be concerned for his personal development that's for his parents to sort out not shams.

So if there is an absolutely ridiculous offer prior to him finishing school?

Are you suggesting that Rovers should accept it and then put pressure on the parents or kid to change their minds?

Actually isn't that more than likely ? it is a business and if shams got a 'ridiculous offer' (whatever that is) why would they not look to do business ? Not suggesting they would not have the lads best interest in mind but doubt they would turn down a massive amount of money. Its just good business.

That's certainly the inference of what RH has suggested.

Equally if what RH has said about his parents insisting he finishes school next year is true, then no matter how "absolutely ridiculous" the offer, Rovers obviously could not transfer him without his agreement - unless of course they could persuade him and his parents otherwise

sbgawa

07/08/2018, 8:24 PM

Not a chance of him being pressured to go , everything the club are preaching day in day out in the academy is that the path to success in England is staying here doing your leaving and going over as a pro on a decent contract , not getting shipped off by joeys or Kevin's to an English academy for buttons.

That's not at all what I'm saying. I'm saying accept the offer but since his parents are insistent on him staying any offer would obviously be a case of the actual move happening after his LC as has been the case so far.

I'd appreciate it if you stopped putting words in my mouth Ez

Would not argue with you on that but if shams can make a serious wedge would they not try to persuade them ?

Would genuinely be shocked everything they preach to the kids up there is about getting your education done.
Getting late in the day anyway and still no sign of a move so looks like he is staying.

09/08/2018, 2:01 PM

So looks like Bazunu will be off to join man City in January - Rovers getting a fee of €350k.

Sad to see him leave so young. I would rather he completed 40-50 games at senior level before moving abroad. Ideally he could sign for them and them be loaned back for 18-24 months. He'll probably just be another number swallowed up by the massive City academy now.

Still too small a fee in my opinion too. I would have held out for closer to half a mill. Given his potential i really think he's worth that much.

either the fee part or the departure date.

Seperately if Gary McCabe has left Bray where can he sign ? NIFL I suppose

yeah thats what Sun says. the catch with McCabe is his sending off recently. if he stays down south he has to serve his suspension and may have to wait a while before playing.

I'd almost bet my house that was a deliberate sending off, to make Bray more likely to make a settlement with him so he can head up north for a while.

I would have thought he can't sign for any LOI club as the window has closed so its NIFL or Leinster senior league.
I'd agree with Philosophizer re deliberate sending off , it looked completely like that, even the Bray players looked ****ed off with him

He must be a real headstrong chap - not only defying his parents, but going against the wishes of the Shamrock Rovers academy as well.

Maybe he could take his books with him and come home to sit his leaving cert in June?

There's enough fans who would be more than happy to see that happen.

Good news that the club are going to take a more active role in looking into our signings.
There's been so much money wasted.
