Griffen signing for Derry at last.

LMFM RADIO @LMFMRADIO
LMFM sport Dundalk striker Mark Griffen is undergoing a medical will sign for @derrycityfc and joins Michael Rafter at the Brandywell.
Good luck to the two lads in Derry for 2013, both are still young and good potential there. Rafter finally showed good professionalism in the play off games, worked his socks off the 2-2 home draw, especially on his own up front for 60 mins. And his two goals in the away leg was obviously the difference between the sides.
Probably disappointed to see Griffen go, but he didnt have a great 2012. Maybe a change of scene will do him well. Derry must have big hopes for these two guys. I would never have thought the Dundalk strike force of 2012 would have been on anyones radar, but there you go.
Hopefully the compensation fee due for Griffin will allow us to get a replacement in.
Peter Hutton quoted as saying he's been talking to a whole host of players, but they've been asking for ridiculous amounts of money, and we won't be paying out any sort of big money for players.
A fair few trialists in action for Harps tonight too. Couple of decent players linked.
Div 1 is always a tough road but looking even more competitive this year.Good quality signings from the top fiveish and some players looking to keep them selfs on the radar.Quote:

Is he any good?
Edit: Picture
Second choice at Harps last year, and by a long way too. Only got a game when Ciaran Gallagher was injured. He's not that great to be honest. A good intermediate level goalkeeper. Bit of potential in him, but he's very light for this level. Could do with bulking up a lot.Quote:

A lot of the young keepers in the Academy and Reserves in England are quite light from anything I've seen. They probably have more time to develop their keepers than a LOI team.
Apologies if this has been posted but Dave O'Leary signed a new deal at Limerick, as expected http://www.limerickfc.ie/dave-oleary-signs
No way either us or Derry were going to pay compensation fee.
Derry wouldnt pay a compo fee if we where to be here all day.Stingy B'stards holding up Griffins signing.Tight in DerryQuote:

Pat Purcell also re-signed http://www.limerickfc.ie/terms-agreed
Dave o leary is a top top player delighted he resigned i think he will be twice as good next season been givin more time on the ball in the premier. That's Stephen Bradley Joe gamble Dave o leary done good strong midfield keep um coming :-)
Damn right too. IMO, we shouldn't be paying fees to anyone.Quote:

Maybe now that DOL has signed with Limerick maybe the cork lads will relax with the posts about them :) i mean Denis Behan being released has freed up two grand a week to Taylors 2.2 million daily budgetQuote:

Did a job for us. Scored plenty for the rest of the season when he signed for us first and was workman like in a lot of games doing the crappy work no-one else noticed last season.Quote:

Whats going on with Fahey exactly? Still on leave from Birmingham? Is he likely to move home?Quote:

According to Birmingham he's doing a full pre-season with Rovers.Quote:

Eh... No. You musn't get out of foot.ie much if you consider that a pwning, try broadening the auld horizons. Also who even uses that term anymore? Need to get with the times, the internet kids as you call them have moved on, you should have checked with them first. Try urban dictionary to update your internet vocabulary there fella. I was considering calling you a n00b but seeming as it's not 2005 anymore I'll not bother. Keep trying though, maybe one day you'll figure it out.Quote:

I did get a giggle out of colonelwest lecturing me on it though. Lolz.
I'm sure they tried negotiating with Limerick but if nothing was agreed the fee set by a tribunal would have been too high.Quote:

Davy McDaid saying in today's Derry News that he's leaving us. Doesn't say to where though. Sligo maybe?
The Sentinel reckons he's heading to York City
