Of course every club should try to maximise transfer revenue, but there is not a club in country who "don't need the money"

I meant don't need the money as in the bills won't go unpaid without it. Dundalk, Cork, rovers and maybe Derry (and apparently bray but that's a bit unknown) are clubs in a position where just now they can afford to hold out for bigger bids as 200k isn't make or break for them. Of course the money would help increase the budget at rovers but it's not needed in the same way it would for most clubs in the league, at rovers it would just go on paying off Wilson which isn't a priority (I actually think he's good for the club) , or on the playing budget and if it's going towards that rovers don't absolutely need it so can afford to hold out for what he's actually worth as opposed to accepting the first bid.

Music to my ears Stephen

Stephen, we battered them, Bradley has never been wrong in the past

Thanks for the completely unrelated pointless post there nah nah nah.

Not a Bradley fan, but good article. He speaks sense. The credibility of the mirror is in question though, especially the figures they tout. They're still reporting the Roy O D. transfer as 500k

What money did O'Donovan go for?
Bit harsh calling out the mirror journo and questioning his credibility because he might have got a figure wrong?

Theyve been reporting the same inaccurate figure for years. If they're using it as a basis for what Clarke should go for, they should do they're homework. It's poor journalism.

Roy went for significantly less than that, with potential to get as high as 500k with clauses, appearance bonuses etc.

No exact figure from yourself but you're still taking potshots at journos who may be 'in the know' - sound

I didn't go looking up the exact figure, because I'm not a professional journo basing an article on it. I'm posting on an anonymous internet forum. It was roughly a bit over half that though. The 'mistake' is an example that numbers thrown around by journos here are generally nonsense. No one should be taking them at face value.

Killian Brennan and Marc Griffin 'released' from Drogheda United.

Have to admire pete mahon for ditching brennan despite beong in trouble. That's his last two clubs rather pay him off them keep him around. Where to now ?

Athlone.

Clarke was excelect again tonight despite some targeting for tough tackles. Scored a nice goal with his weaker foot. Probably sealed his move. Kid called bolger came on for last 30 minutes, made one and scored one looks like a phenomenal prospect as well. Made his debut last season at 16

:D

Remember who it is saying this...

Griffin said on twitter as well that he asked for his release. Seemingly Gill causing a lot of problems in the Drogheda dressing room. Looking more increasingly like Drogs will go down, as there seems to be internal problems

Brennan is just annoyed there was someone in the dressing room with a bigger ego than himself.

What an "as a hole" Brennan really is

....and Griffin thinks he's better than he is and should be starting in the first xi every week.Another hugely inflated ego.
