I read somewhere it was an undisclosed fee, that "usually" means it's lower than however I would guess Bohs will have clauses X number of first team appearances, goals, and possibly international appearances. There will be a sell on clause in there too. I'd say they have champagne on ice the way Evan Ferguson is playing.Quote:

A lot of the young players now won’t sign up in case it damages their deal, on agents advice.
Yes that was my understanding with Ferguson as well, its happened us at Rovers too, Agents basically are 100% against the best young kids signing contracts. the 18 years old thing for the UK has helped though as kids at 16 at lest cant shoot offQuote:

If he can some confidence there’s a decent player in there.
I think we always say undisclosed fee when we do a transfer. Did not realise Mullins was out of contract so would just be a development fee I’m guessing.
Which is why Rovers have worked so hard to get Ferizaj, for example, on a pro contract that runs past his 18th birthday. Same with others, it's a struggle though without a doubt. Not to have a pop at Bohs but not having a DoF really hampers clubs when dealing with these issues. I guess that will be Nutsy's role along with recruitment.Quote:

Guessing we'll be seeing a lot more signings like that over the next few weeks with some clubs desperately trying to fill their squads
For once most decent options around the league have already been tied down so it stands to reason that the likes of ourselves, Dundalk etc will be brining in lads from outside of the league.
I'm guessing we will see the largest amount of imports into the league by season kick-off? Anyway it's always interesting to see which unknowns turn into gems and just how many are going to be hilariously bad
Daryl Horgan has signed for Stevenage until end of the season.
Strong rumours of Dylan Connolly to bohs
Just looked him up there as I hadn’t heard much of note from him since the move to the UK. He’s actually moved around quite a lot, scoring only 4 league goals in 119 league games across 5 clubs since leaving Dundalk in 2018.Quote:

I'd take him. We need options on the wing and pace is a real game changer in this league. We also need about half a dozen defenders if we want to get through the season.Quote:

Not a bad replacement for Burt. Burt is a superior footballer all day long but Connolly can cause problems even if he is one dimensional.Quote:

Kenny never seemed to trust him either when it came to big games or Europe, first touch was absolutely woeful, as you say lots of speed and very little end product. He does good deals on cigarettes at least ?Quote:
