In fairness none of us know the wages. I know what he asked for about a month ago, and I know that we offered him less than a third of that about a month ago. I presume they've met somewhere in the middle
Apparently, he was far beyond Derry's wage structure looking for up to €3kpw to relocate from Dublin or chancing his arm like he did with Bohs. Must've took a cut as Dodge said.
AFAIK he never stopped hanging around with the Pats players, I don't think he ever really fit in off the pitch at Shelbourne, is this fact or still in the rumour phase???
Always appeared to me to be something of a loner at Shels. Maybe that's in his nature.
Great player - will be sadly missed at Shels. On his day, like McCourt, he is brilliant. When not on his day, also like McCourt, he can be brutal.
Pat's would have the guts of a top four side next year, with a more capable manager.
If fit.Quote:

Would imagine we never see a fully fit 11 and struggle to get 7th, so my hope for the season is 6th :D

Have either of the three been confirmed by Pats yet ?
Ndo Rogers and O'Neill ?
I know Ndo made it into a few newspapers but so did Nutsy left Shels and signed for Bohs :eek:
Ndo confirmed on Pats website.Quote:

Great player, who would grace any team.
The terms he asked from Bohs were laughable though. Talk about pricing yourself out of the market.
Excellent signing. Best individual performance I saw last season. Pats look set for a good season.
Vitruvian man
Bohs are allegedly loaded he was testing the veracity of that statement.:D
Not quite true CTID - unless he asked Bohs to show him their bank statement, which would be an odd request at the best of times and an utterly bizarre negotiating tactic by Bohs if they complied.
He was merely testing their willingness to part with lots of their loads.
great signing and I now fancy Pats to do well next season, possible european spot in sight?
