What's that got to do with anything? We bought the playrs we lost for free; we can do it again, as we've shown over and over.

E50k for three players to other clubs in the eL is good business in one summer, money-wise. As I said, show me a club who's done better.

Cork City got a few hundred thousand for a 24 year old centre back. They got him for free but they didnt let him go for next to nothing.

Harry McCue signed Gray the season we got promoted (i think) I think the first time i saw him play he was at left back against rovers in richmond. I remember being very impressed, thinking, this player is real quality, we hadnt seen much of that round utd park for a while, thank god we do now. He moved to centre back and season after season never put a foot wrong. Has a tendancy to not look up before he clears but not worth mentioning. Had a massive part to play in our meteoric rise and wont be forgotten round these parts

in short...hes great

None of ye are taking into account that I am going to win the �130,000,000 on Friday nights euro millions and will invest it all wisely in Ramblers.
With a side bet on Ramblers wining the league at 200/1 I'll have my money back in no time!:D

Ramblers to win
City to be relegated!

No, no, I'm serious. Pineapple Stu's point was that 50grand for 3 players sold within the eL was good business for UCD. Finnpark mentioned some Cork player, who you identified as Bennett. I was really wondering if he was sold within the eL.

A player should have a value regardless of what club hes joining or what country hes going. If a 25 year centre back is worth that much then I think two U-21 internations are worth more than that each. Obviously UCD are going down this season and this may help Harps so please keep this policy up!

PS: If some other teams can sell their best 3 or 4 players for €50,000 please do. It would help us a lot. Many thanks!

Thats pretty naive in fairness

Finnpark you know as well as anyone else on here that the price for a player depends on a number of variables - not least the position of the selling club and the position of the buying club
