Derry Interested in Arkins

Derry City manager Gavin Dykes has admitted that the Brandywell club would be interested in signing Portadowns star striker Vinny Arkins, should he become available 'at the right price'
Arkins last week stunned Portadown with a transfer request and he sat out saturdays 0-0 draw with Limavady at Shamrock Park.
Dykes said "its no secret that we've been looking for somebody big and strong to hold the ball up at the front and if Vinny became available we'd obviously be interested".

Not sure what his wage demands would be..........Ive heard Portadown are paying him £700 sterling a week and he has accomodation paid for. Mmmmmmmmmmm !

Sure a good young replacement for Coyle.... One for the future...

Portadown are quoted as saying that Arkins has 18 months left on his contract and that he's not going anywhere until then. Albeit, I'm getting this from the Mirror.

Sw that from kev on your site but I think the original higher estimates are closer to the mark, he lives in Dublin so why would they pay accomodation for him ?

He'd a l;ucky escape not having to get the train to Portadown Saturday ;)

Worst decision ever by our committee not taking the £30,000 of youse for him!!!

Best stroke of luck we ever had!:D

Actually he'll do a job for someone if he signs..... I think he gets stale if he stays too long at a club, or they sign him up on a long term contract....
