Oh? Dennehy�s long been seen as a pain in the hole and Mark Sullivan is far from a shrinking violet.

There’ll be no fear of Tommy jumping in if there is any hassle ;)

ME HOLE of any chance of that happening or being anyway true.

That 15 year old who runs that twitter LOI transfers 'insider' tripe needs to be shut down

You must be thinking Munster Rugby rather than Munster football?

Anyone want to start an Eamon Zayed back to the League of Ireland rumour?
23/01/2018, 7:56 PM

Heard Zayed is coming back to the League Of Ireland. Cork or Dundalk or someone. Limerick maybe, possibly Derry.

He was in the Clanree Hotel lobby the other night and Ollie Horgan was there. Must have been signing as everything went all blurry and unfocussed.

apparently Conte is in for him.

I know this is off topic BUT....

Classic on the latest TFTES podcast Derek Tracey was being interviewed (17 years with Rovers) and he was telling a story about how he was dropped for one of the matches , he was ****ed off and went into town to get hammered with a couple of pals in the HARP bar on O Connell street , the slow set came on (remember them) and he was dancing with this girl who asked him what he did for a living,

Him " I play football for Shamrock Rovers"
Her " I have a cousin who plays football for Shamrock Rovers"
Him " whats his name"
Her "Derek Tracey "

He said it was just the way his day was going.....

Brentford to spend 200k on Ogbene but apart from being really fast, is he actually any good?

Yes.

He didn�t get a trial with Chelsea for nothing. He�s a raw talent and will have to improve both physically and his decision making but he�s got the potential to be a star. Best of luck to the lad. Not looking good for Limerick.

The fee could fund 5-6 new players

Cork will prob be due a development fee if the Ogbene move goes through, I think Dundalk will also be entitled to something if Michael O'Connor completes his move.

In other moves, Dundalk still after 2 new players, was meant to be 3 but appears only 2 now, one will definitely be a striker.

Noticed Wexford had a Ryan Nolan in their team vs Bray. That's not the young lad from inter is it?

That�s the big question tho, will it be reinvested and who can they realistically get in at this point?

saw him a few times... very very quick feet while in possession of the ball, a sure way to win a penalty while in oppositions penalty box..

Caulfield seems to have a real eye for youth. :rolleyes:
He's two for two now with players moving on from Cork and getting bought for 6 figures not long after.

I don't know the full story in either case obviously but it seems like Ogbene signed for REDACTED without talking to us, after arranging to meet with Caufield on a later date. The story as I know it is he said he'd talk with Caulfield when his father returned to the country, JC said thats fine, then he signed for REDACTED. Obviously theres more to it than that, and JC probably should have had him signed up earlier to avoid this situation.

Drinan though, that was really weird. I genuinely don't know what happened there, or why Ipswich would even be interested. I am led to believe that Drinan asked if he could go on trial with Ipswich, JC said no, if you sign for us you sign for us. Clubs can make an offer but we're not sending players on trial. Waterford got wind and jumped in to sign him basically just to sell him.
You could argue that its foolish to let a player with potential value leave over something so small, but our clubs should be standing up to England more. If they want our players make an offer.

We get money in both cases so its not a complete loss. I didn't rate Drinan all that much personally but obviously Ipswich saw something in him, it will be interesting to see how his career pans out.

So in other words you haven't a clue what happened. Is that you John.

I like that "Redacted" Redacted United has a ring to it.

I think you've got that spot on. We basically signed him to sell him. We'll likely do that with some more players too. Drinan played four times for us and we sold him for about €100,000. We get about half of that I believe with the rest split between Cork, Cobh and was it Carrigaline? He did fine for us in those few games, but not a standout. Himself and John Martin went on trial to Ipswich a few weeks after Drinan signed. It seems Ipswich highly rate him highly for his athleticism. He was well-touted for his UEFA Youth league performances for Cork and definitely has a bit about him. Mick McCarthy is full of praise for him and had him on the bench for an FA Cup game. Not sure how he'll get on over there, but a fantastic bit of business by Waterford.
