SSE Airtricity League Transfers 2017

[disgruntled]

Are you suggesting he wasn't sure of getting paid previously at Waterford or St Pats?

Should he be more nervous about getting paid in the season ahead?

Nothing said about Pats or Waterford during his previous time with them but I did suggest that City cash the cheque before signing Browne's transfer papers ;)

Limerick out: Paudie O'Connor to Leeds United

[outspoken]

Any money made on his move?

[thomas72]

Any money made on his move?


Yes he is under 23 so limerick will receive compensation

[outspoken]

Was he under contract no?

[Charlie Darwin]

Was he under contract no?
No, but he's 19 so once Limerick offered him the same deal as last year he can't move without a fee being due. English clubs sometimes pretend they don't have to pay them though.

[nigel-harps1954]

General rule of thumb is around €15,000 per year with the club in compensation as far as I'm aware. Limerick should bag themselves in the region of €40-50,000 out of this one.

We've signed Pascal Millien, any good Sligo fans?

Shels out: Robert Bayly (released)

Still only 29.
I'm guessing he's completly lost form

[pineapple stu]

Subbed off inside half an hour when they played us anyway. And they were 3-0 down at that stage.

So you'd imagine form/attitude/a clash with someone alright

[markc1184]

I see Ryan Coulter (GK) on the bench for Drogs this evening. Where was he before?

[Mr A]

Just signed in last day or two

[outspoken]

With us last season. The fact Sligo rovers fans burst out laughing when they heard he was starting for us against them last season sums it up really. Worst keeper I've ever seen. Fixes his hair more than he catches the ball.

Aside from his well known attitude problems he's a terrible footballer who is intermediate level at best, spoofed his way into some decent teams on the back of a few first team appearances with Leeds

Without question the most talentless LOI player I have seen to hold both league & cup winners medals

Waterford FC - OUT

Tom Smith & Jake Evans - End of loan

Tom Smith & Jake Evans - End of loan

Thats a little peculiar. Their loan registrations would have run to the July transfer window - although obviously there is nothing to say that they can't return to their parent clubs earlier.

[nigel-harps1954]

Tommy McMonagle has left Harps, citing a lack of game time as his reason.

Both were on loan till June, but were recalled early following the conclusion of Swindons season which resulted in relegation. I'd say it's a case Smith was recalled as Swindon want to tie him down to a new deal as his current one ends in June, along with giving him a rest period until the start of preseason. Whereas Jake Evans only played 2/3 games competively so they wanted to just bring him back as well.

Think the squad size is 22 now and there's four players out for an unknown time, with three of the 22, U19 players on senior deals and three are also keepers (first choice keeper is injured). Leaves us with a paper thin squad. Expect to see quite a bit of activity when the window opens.

whats situation with Alan Reynolds as hes not on the bench any more? there was a piece on him in the sun during the week with Pat Fenlon!

It's something to do with his job with the FAI. He can't be in the dugout I've heard but can do all his manager duties besides that.

Thanks for that - although I am none the wiser

All loan registrations must be to the transfer window in July. (Of course clubs could agree to have an earlier termination date, but the player could not play again for the parent club 'till then. Obviously a moot point when Swindon's season is finished).

Smith's loan would not need to terminated for him to agree and sign a new contract with Swindon. Giving him a rest period would be a little more plausible, although it is over 3 months to the start of their season!

If Swindon want Jake Evans to play some competitive games, Waterford gives more possibilities than being on a beach in Bognor for the summer

The reasons for them being recalled are probably fairly straight-forward and uncontroversial - but I doubt they are what you suggest

Never really made much of an impression.
Long way down the pecking order so asked to be released.

Looks he'll be heading for Mountjoy F.C. in his next move.

Shels out: Robert Bayly (released)

Not much chance of him being released now.

[redobit]

He's fast and can do ok when the game is wide open. Bit of a crowd pleaser at times. Going forward he's fine but unfortunately he can't track back, can't mark and doesn't know to help his full back.

He'll do well so & you can't have everything.

Pretty devastating blow for Harps to be losing Michael Funston at the mid-season break. He was excellent against Pats on Monday night.

He's rumoured to be dropping to Ulster Senior League.

[Charlie Darwin]

A lot of players jumping from Harps the last few months. Is there mad money in the USL or are they just sick of Ollie telling them they must be crap if they're working with a hack like himself?

I'd play for Ollie for nothing if i was good enough :D

In Funston's case it's work and family commitments mean he can't put the time in any more. The other player to go was McMonagle. Don't think either were related to USL money or anything. The latter was frustrated due to lack of game time just.

Edit: in both cases it seems new babies are a factor. I can well relate to that, even the few wee bits I do for FHFC are way harder this season with a new arrival in the house. The idea of trying to play premier division football, and have a job in the same situation boggles the mind.

The Harps players considering they wouldn't be on big bucks have to give up a lot of time and miss a lot of work days.
its a huge commitment that is admirable, you can't blame the players when they have to make a call.
