Well for Bohemians. Certainly Stephen O'Brien and particularly Barry fergusson in from Longford have been great signing's for us!

Keith Foy from Monaghan to Sligo Rovers. Darren Mansaram too.

If your talking about fees, then Drogheda buying Zayed from Bray would be the biggest, followed by Barrett from Longford.

I think the Sligo's signing of Choice Aisien would be one of the biggest.
Celtic are going to sign him but he cant get a work permit so will be with us for a season anyway.

not with that attidute:rolleyes: .What attitude?:rolleyes: How can you say it's our biggest signing just cos the champions of Scotland's underage team were looking to sign him too. If he's good after he's played a few games then it's a big signing;).

Sean himself said he will be a revelation.BTW,why would Celtic U21s be signing him?Becasue they think he will eventually be a player fit for the Scottish Premeir.

Sean himself said he will be a revelation.Sean also said once that Matthew Judge would be a "20 goal a season striker"

Don't get me wrong, I'm delighted this guy has signed and can't wait til I see him play but give him a few games before you go calling him a "big signing":rolleyes:.

Sligoman is right Stars, judge him after he's played a few games and also I've yet to see one actual quote or reference to Celtic being interested other than someone outwith of the club saying that they were interested....

Big tansfers during the 06 season

Bohs signing Paul Devlin
Pats signing Keith Fahey from Drogheda
Drogheda signing Eamon Zayed from Bray

All others are squad players moving down, or first division/UK rejects moving up, and therefor not notable

Shane Barrett was last year. Eamon Zayed is the biggest money move all right. (€35K, €100K, €250,000,€1.7M (Pick one figure))

Surely the biggest transfer of 06 will be Georgie to, well,wherever he ends up.

Could not have seen it coming a few months ago and looks like its seriously affecting Cork.

Well the Barrett transfer happened during the window for the 06 season which opened in Jan, so it was the biggest fee prior to Zayed. Incidentally these are the two biggest transfer fees ever agreed between Irish clubs.

:rolleyes:

From our point of view Mark O'Brien coming home from exile in gypoland, and Myler from Longford will hopefully be a big signing if he's ever fit.

Drogs.

Well all signings are major but league wide, a Bohs sub moving to the first division isn't one of the "biggest, most significant transfers"

I'd say Myler would easily be the best player in the first division.

Darren Kelly, moved to Carlsile from City for 100,000. Prtadown to City a few years later for nothing despite interest from numerous English league clubs. What a signing.

€40,000

I'd say Weso Charles would have something to say about that.....

so far for Galway but unfortunately out injured at the moment.Ciaran Foley is starting to prove his worth and anyone of the deadline signings could make an impact.
The Stars

Raf is the best player in the First Division and would be one of the best in the Premeir,if he was still with us.Great signing for Galway.

€40,000
If so Trevor Molloy and Jason Byrne went for more. Also arguable that Keith Fahye did too (€32,000 plus Alan Reilly (who Drogs signed for €15,000))

Charles isn't even the best centre-half in the 1st Division but that's a whole other thread.

sean talks a lot of s**t!!he also told us that carlos would get us 20 goals a season!but for me one of the best signings we've made in years is flash mansaram.for anyone who hasn't yet seen him play he is unbelievable.his pace is electric and he just has a touch of class about him that most of the players in this league don't have.if choice is as good as we're being told we could have a lethal combination on our hands.

Barry Ferguson moving to us from Longford was hardly a step down.

I'd say the move of Tony Grant from Bohemians to Drogheda was one of the big transfers.

The figure wasn't released but rumour doing the rounds in Bohs is that Drogheda paid 15'000 as a transfer fee. :eek:
