I wouldn't be upset about any player going on to better things but the timing is unfortunate.

If Conor Powell is out of contract at Sligo he would probably cost even less then that. You could even swipe the next rising St Pats left back for buttons as well.
From what I've seen of Conor Powell so far, you are more than welcome to him.Quote:

Stevens deal to Villa should be completed tomorrow. He will be loaned back until January, transfer fee won't be great up front but should have decent add ons.
Ok, Good news for Rovers that he will be loaned back, he would be missed in the run in. I had heard 300,000 euro transfer fee but that could be wrong.Quote:

Stevens isn't being loaned back. Rather, he's agreed to sign for Villa in January. He'll be a Rovers player until then. That's according to Dan McDonnell on Twitter anyway.
It could be complicated so ?? He can play until Jan with Rovers........Contract up....No cash for Rovers ?? Are Rovers drawing up new contracts as we speak ??Quote:

Did Villa buy him CD ?? I cant see that on the interwebs ??
Could well be the case. Probably less hassle to sign a pre-contract than to sign him and loan him back.Quote:

He's on loan at Accrington at the moment, so not sure if it's realistic, he did say he was getting on a flight not long after, although it looked like he was having a joke with Padraig Amond initially.Quote:

From BBC deadline day tracker.
Is he a free? Who'll go the other way?
Other way to where? He didn't have a club
I meant the other way as in out the door.Quote:
