Shane McFaul

[DmanDmythDledge]

McFaul has signed for Scunthorpe until January. Don't know if it's a loan or trial or what.

[Poor Student]

Bebo?

[DmanDmythDledge]

Where else?

I have a feeling it might only be a loan deal as I'm almost certain that our players' contracts last until January.

Interesting that Shane McFaul joins Scunthorpe shortly after it's finally become on the allowed list of words for foot.ie

[Poor Student]

McFaul is only actually on loan to Scunthorpe. If he moves abroad we're due a very small fee for him.

Not unless he's on a two year contract.

Not unless he's on a two year contract.

It seems that's changed. Even a year's worth something now.

[Poor Student]

Not unless he's on a two year contract.

It's only if he moves abroad. Some domestic club training fee. It'd be a very small sum.

[DmanDmythDledge]

McFaul going on trial at Brighton according to the Sun. Also says that Scunthorpe have offered him a contract.

Shane McFaul has signed for Brighton until the end of the season.

Brighton fans decidedly underwhelmed.

Still, good move for McFaul and one which should raise the club's profile a bit more in England. Now to find the next Dicker/McFaul...

Now to find the next Dicker/McFaul...

His name is Ronan Finn.

Brighton fans decidedly underwhelmed.

That link won't work btw. What are they underwhelmed with? They're midtable League One and they've signed an U-21 international with several years first team experience for next to nothing.

[pineapple stu]

Link fixed now.

They're a Division Two side who've signed a player they've never heard of from a part-time Irish club. They want to spend a nice bit of cash on a big name player who'll propel them into the play-offs and further. Stands to reason really.

He also sometimes goes by the name of Brian King
