Might be totally off the wall, but I heard Sander Westerveld had some preliminary discussions with Pat's. He's currently unattached and has been for a few months.

How could McGill from Shels to Rovers be a definite whem Rovers don't have a manager appointed yet!! :confused:....I heard a whisper Galway are selling O'Shea to either Leicester or Derby today for a reputed 500k!! :eek:
There's something one of the papers this morning saying that Derby will have him over for a trial.Quote:

Jeepers, can't believe GUFC would get that kind of money for O Shea, fair play if it comes off!
And if O Shea is worth that, what is Niall McGinn worth?
Can see Dundalk raiding Drogheda for a few players I'd say. If they wheel and deal well over the winter, they could be pushing for Europe next year.
I love the off seasonQuote:

Headwrecking thing is that i don't think Bray will get anything out of the deal because he wasn't signed as a professional with us, well AFAIK anyway. Joeys will get a little slice of it though.Quote:

James (Jay) O'shea should be a Ram in the new year after a £400,000 deal is agreed
Derby County are expected to capture League of Ireland player James (Jay) O'Shea from Galway United after the 20 year old visited Derby along with his present manager and ex rams player Jeff Kenna for talks last week.
A fee of £400,000 has already been agreed between the two clubs and the midfielder/winger is expected to sign for the Rams when the transfer window opens in January....
O'shea is a six foot tall midfield player who can play on the wing. His goal scoring ability has also alerted Paul Jewell to him, having scored 7 goals in 20 games this season. He was also Galway United's top scorer last season.
Jay broke into the Republic of Ireland U21-23 side last month and looks to have a bright future in the game and for Derby
So we can expect to sell Seamie for 500k?
No way is O'Shea worth that...
Here we go again, more'he's not worth that' comments about a United player from a Sligo fan. He is worth whatever the highest bidder is willing to pay for him. Derby is willing to pay £320,000. We'll take it and no, Bray, you can't have any! Expensive Christmas party that, eh!!
he's a very good player, but i wouldnt say he's worth €500k on the reputation of a third of a season, although i suppose Galway could do with the money too.Quote:

We got a small amount of money for Dave Mooney's transfer to Reading as did Shamrock Rovers and his other schoolboy clubs I assume. 5% of the transfer fee is divided between the clubs based on the length of time he was with them from recollection. It's on the FAI site anyhow.
Give him a break.He's from Dundalk for crying out loudQuote:

:DGood old Nick....always a penchant for wheeling and dealing has our Nick!!
£320k or £400k - either way its good business for Galway - €500 for a young guy who is only beginning to prove himself.
(should be good business for Derby too if he continues to show the promise he has been - hope Galway get a good sell-on clause in the contract!)
:ball:

Rumour in Dundalk is that gill is been let go and that doolin ..yes doolin...is been lined up as his replacement taking with him some of the drogheda players who are out of contract:eek:
Hey GUFCT...O'Shea was going to Dalymount , agreed to do so until Bohs went wallop and then Derby came in with an offer....put that in your pipe and smoke it!...........;)
I wouldn't be happy with that at all. Can you actually imagine it? It'd just be Drogheda United 2008 wearing a white jersey!Quote:

You're screwed.Quote:

Maybe as a one-year appointment to get access to the Drogheda players, it'd be worth it. Otherwise, bad call.
Dundalk board are a joke if they let a championship winning manager go
Are ye the ne Drogheda then ..... I can hear the chants already.........Quote:

Yeah but how many times did he blow the chance for promotion before this season?Quote:

There will be no want for candidates for this job imo. Scully, Reynolds, Collins, Doolin, Gill and many more will eyeing the job imo. Maybe Rico could be interested? Fat Pat if given the right money?
Dundalk are a massive club and any decent manager out of work will be in for the job (maybe even some not out of work)
Long before this? He won it on the field two years ago in his first season at the club but we all know what happened then. Hardly anything Gill could do about that. Last year, fair enough, was bad, but we've come back this year and won it. We got a bit of luck in the end but the table never lies.Quote:

A poster on OrielWeb has said that it has been announced on LMFM that Gill hasn't been given a new contract and the job will be advertised..
Yep. He didn't read the rules of the competition he was in. Surley grounds to be sacked on the spot.:confused:Quote:

Jay as you were told before was on a 2year contract and couldnt agree to go anywhere without GUFC being paid a large Fee.Quote:

euros a day and still only managed promotion with the last kick of the season!:D
It was also on newstalk that he is gone. Scully for the job??Quote:
