No. Players who are out of contract can move freely regardless of age. For example Enda Stevens joined Rovers this year. No fee was due to Pats (or indeed UCD). Loads of others examples too, just giving the one that involves all 3 clubs (Ian bermingham could be another)

If Kilduff was with Pats for a year and then signed for, say, Birmingham for a fee. UCD and Rovers would then be entitled to a bit of this (for development)

BTW I've no idea how UCD's scholarship scheme works. That may tie them to the football club for the length of their studies. Thats the nature of most rumours, rarely well informed

How long was Stevens with you though? As I understand, players there under 2 years can move for free. We've gotten a fair amount of money out of it down the years - Cawley to Shels for E24k was the highest profile cos they refused to pay (and also cos we caught Shels out by backdating his contract to the start of the season he joined in to ensure we'd benefit from this). We've also gotten E10k for Robbie Martin, E15k for Pat Sullivan, E45k for Darren Quigley/Conor Sammon combined and E60k for Gary Dicker in the past few years (all approx amounts). Fairly sure this rule came in on at least one of them.

Edit - Enda Stevens was with Pat's for one year, so no fee applies. Similarly, Bermo was at Rovers for just one year. Fairly sure two years plus is a different story.

Maybe but how long was Bermingham with you (or Stevens for that matter?)

Maybe the other players were still under contract (or scholarship).

Higgins and McGlynn can stay away from the Brandywell

Rovers are signing everyone and then loaning them out to other clubs as we see fit.

Galway will benefit, Bray might...

Bolger and Kilduff mentioned fairly regularly but Kilduff looking for a move to the UK.

One of Sligo's dublin lads is likely to move home with ourselves and Rovers in the running.

Kenna left us over a dispute about money .The board cut the wage bill for a second time and pats could offer him more money than we could , thats why he left . According to the player he wanted to stay but just couldnt deal with being messed around .

Stevens was barely with us six months; he only played twice.

Bermo was there two years, but was amateur the first year, so that doesn't count towards the two years.

Maybe because he's not good enough to go to England?

Would that be a certain winger Dodge?

Good player him.

Was hoping Limerick could tempt him. :(

Dave Ryan to the Premier Division (possibly County Finglas as our announcer calls them)
Sean Kelly to Cork City
John Tierney to the boro :excruciating:

Such are the rumours on Shannonside.

Any other rumours doing the rounds at the other clubs????

Tom Miller was offered an improved contact at Dundalk. Charlton have invited him for talks and medical next week. Preumably he will train/trial with them and see what happens. He has not ruled out signing again for Dundalk.

Cherrie and Faz are both on record as saying they would like to stay at Dundalk (not that much can be taken from the public utterances of players generally).

Ones I've heard are Gary McCabe to Pats and Kilduff and Oman to us. Wouldn't believe the the last 2.

RE. the Faz to us rumour, may be nothing but he did clap our fans as he was substituted in Dundalk earlier this month, never noticed him clapping us before while playing for someone else. Hope it's not true anyway.

Billy Brennan is supposedly on the move, I heard that he's been offered a spot in England (I may be wrong with the club but it's conference - Rushden and Diamonds), and abroad (heard Norway).

I wonder will any Irish players be concerned with improving their ability while earning the same amount as in England and go further afield (like Bisto in Sweden, Amond in Portugal etc).

Also, heard last evening from a journo that Pat Fenlon is going to finally up stumps from Bohs and take a dip somewhere else. Strange as I was speaking with him last week at an under-20's match and he said that he doesn't see any sense in going away from the club right now as they've turned the corner. I wanted to mention that he was the 4th person that night in Dalyer who told me Bohs had turned the corner, which meant they were back where they began.

Someone I know was speaking to Pat a few weeks ago at an underage game and he said to them he was staying put and would rebuild with a team of kids if he has to.

Would be interesting to see how he gets on a limited budget for once but he has a great eye for spotting good young players and goes to tonnes of schoolboys games.

Dave Ryan your goalkeeper going to Fingal?

Obviously for money if he's on this 30 year contract someone said in an earlier thread.
27/10/2010, 9:41 PM
Lim till i die

A 30 year contract would bring him up to 52 or 53.

Just to clarify for everyone, there's no way, NO WAY, Dave Ryan is on a 30 year contract at Limerick FC.

Any transfer rumours Frosty on an aside??
