Mick Devine

[The Man Himself]

mick devine is heading back to play with waterford next season,
anyone hear anything?

[Risteard]

Anything is possible if Dolan returns to the Cross.
Otherwise, reason prevails.

[CollegeTillIDie]

Mick Devine back to Waterford would be an improvement for the Blues. No disrespect intended but I'd prefer Devine to Delaney at Belfield any day of the week. Therefore it should mark an improvement for the Blues too.

[Rams-07]

Spoke to Mick on Xmas eve about what was happening at City and he never mentioned Waterford..Dont think they could afford him TBH..

[adamcarr]

Its not going to happen. Besides last season Mick has been consistently the best keeper in the league.

[The Man Himself]

hes out of contract at cork and wants a return to the blues, heard from an ex blues player today who is close friends with mick.

He's 100% not out of contract

with the draw for the shirt sponsorship already after pulling in €120,000 and the 10% fee from the daryl murphy transfer in jan to QPR, waterford united are in a very comfortable position to sign players for next season,
so money wont be a problem if they want to sign mick devine,
the clubs bank balance was never as healthy as it is now.

Full time professional in the graveyard is it?

[Risteard]

hes out of contract at cork

Wrong.
One season left.
Heard he's set to retire then.
Are you positive about the cut of Murphys fee?

[The Man Himself]

never agreed with fulltime set ups in the eircom league, look what happened shels when they taught they were manchester united, and now that drogheda are spending crazy money on players wage it wont be long before it catches up on them,
the eircom leagues not big enough for fulltime set ups,

[saint morrissey]

i think hes overrated to be honest, wouldnt even have him in my top three keepers in the league

[bellavistaman]

i think hes the 2nd best keeper in the league, 1st been our keeper mccarthy, conceded under ten goals last year in the league, AND city are always rumoured to be sniffing around him to replace devine.

[SPXcyan]

I didnt think we got anythin from Murphy's transfer??.. Mick Devine wouldnt be a bad signin for a first division club! would be miles better than packie holden!

People seem to be ignoring the small fact that he's under contract!

10% deal in contract, board of management committee confirmed that.
murphy to be sold to QPR for 1.4 million sterling which comes in at around 2million euro.
nice little pay day for the club.

Ah sure don't worry about it, you wont be seeing any full time set ups next year.

Sligo, are a real club who are full-time. Thats if the business succeed in starting their little league.

Believe me, nobody will be starting their own leagues. The point is, the clubs behind this are in a stronger negotiating position than some of the other clubs are giving them credit for.

This will happen and the FAI and IFA will be very glad to go along with it and take some credit.

I'm sure both RTE commentators said he was playing his last game for Cork during the FAI Cup Final...

[GavinZac]

I'm sure both RTE commentators said he was playing his last game for Cork during the FAI Cup Final...

Which was nonsense given that he's under contract, has said as much himself, and is no more or less unhappy at rico's departure than the rest of the squad.

[bellavistaman]

what would RTE know about the eircom league.

[sligoman]

i think hes the 2nd best keeper in the league, 1st been our keeper mccarthy, conceded under ten goals last year in the leaguePerformance in First Division means very little. Wait til next season to judge how good he is when he's up against better quality strikers.

[CollegeTillIDie]

Mick Devine is probably a good mate of Gareth Cronin. People, outside Cork, might have forgotten they were team-mates for years.

Mick Devine is probably a good mate of Gareth Cronin. People, outside Cork, might have forgotten they were team-mates for years.Not at all but it doesn't change the fact that friends or not Gareth will still have to pay a transfer fee to sign Mick , who did I mention has a year left on his contract at City?

[bellavistaman]

Performance in First Division means very little. Wait til next season to judge how good he is when he's up against better quality strikers.

indeed, although i am very confident he will show his class next year. And our team as hole especially the two CBs Murray and Guthrie, top class.

This "we've got the best keeper in the country" attitude, that's been floating around for the last year or two, is bull****
Can people not just see sense?

If you didn't finish in the top 5 in the premier division, and you are not UCD, your keeper is no where near the best No. 1 in the country:ball:

I see on the news that murphy is going to stay at sunderland now and fight for his place ! That money will surely be missed.

[ramsfan]

mick will never go back to waterford he loves the fame associated with being with city, hed never give that up to go back to waterford

[ramsfan]

dont think he'll stay think that that performance at weekend was his swan song, qpr are willing to pay 2m and give him first team football, and are the new chelsea in money terms, crazy not to go qpr will rocket up the division this year or next

Just to confirm that Dolan will definitely NOT be the City manager next season. And that came straight from the horses mouth.
