Shades of the Luke Matheson signing from last year although Matheson had a better pedigree imo. Could be a handy little player and my assumption is that since he's out of contract in the summer it's essentially an extended trial for both parties.Quote:

I wouldn’t pay any attention to that. There’s no metric that goes into calculating it, it’s just a figure plucked from the head of the lad editing the site. For example Ross Tierney is also valued at 300k on it and Liam Smith 250k etc. etc.Quote:

The reports on Mousset’s performance in the trial game today suggest that he’s got a fair bit of work to do to convince he’s fit enough to get a contract but some of the Bohs fan content around it definitely makes a strong case for a deal
He honestly wasn't that bad at drogs.. Scored the winner against dundalk which is still hilarious tbh.Quote:

Kerry have made 10 re-signings, 7 new signings and have 1 academy graduate so far, with just over 2 weeks to go to the visit of Finn Harps. With a friendly lined up against Shamrock Rovers on Saturday and the CEO's (Billy Dennehy) links to Rovers, a loan signing or two might be made.
Apologies that should have said 6 figures not 7Quote:

For a proven goal scorer in the league what is the upper limit of wages they can expect? Especially considering how hard it is to find a proven goal scorer.Quote:

I think that Afolabi is under contract until the summer of 2026 - so it might be a transfer fee. If Kortrijk were willing to release him they would have to buy out his contract.Quote:

He is 25 yeasr old not 20 and a kid with promise.
Take out his one season with Bohs and his record since his 20th birthday is played 86 scored 12.....
Id rather play a kid with potential like Noonan than pay a fortune for a 25 year old who has jad one good season in his carear
If you break down Afolabi at Bohs it really was one hot half-season in the 2nd half of 2023. 3 goals in his first 22 appearances, then 18 goals in his final 22 appearances. I didn't he looked up to much in any his appearances against Shels but he got a couple goals against us in consecutive weeks during that hot spell aided by horrendous defending from Shels
LOI has a history of some streaky strikers who get found out over further seasons but such the shortage of finishers around he can name his LOI price even with just a half-season track record
Didn't he get a lot of goals against the part-time teams too? UCD, Drogheda, some cup games?

Big loss for Harps
