Jim Hanley was saying on Shannonside tonight that Josh is still with us for the moment. The clubs that have come in for him haven't convinced him and his family that it's the right move for him as yet by the sounds of things.
Danny O'Connor resigned for Bray now too. Pity but I think he lives out that way so it's handy for him.
would josh stay with us ? be very hard for him to make it into the starting 11
Presumably he's already signed some form of a contract given that the club would be getting a fee for him if he goes. As mentioned above he was apparently back training with the rest of the squad at the weekend. He could still go before the end of the month though if they make him a better offer.
on twitter saw Craigoooo @Fitzer_7 said that he is delighted to have signed a first team contract with us. anyone know anything about him. I safely assume he came from the Under 19s
Yeah Craig Fitzgerald, you're correct he's from the u19s. I think he's a winger and from Dublin but I don't know much else about him really. He'll probably just be cover at this stage.
Tricky little winger surprised he wasn't called up earlier tbh. Should see a good bit of game time since himself and Shannon are only 2 wingersQuote:

He's a central midfielder, quite a big lad but great feet.Quote:

josh gone to Bournemouth think its a good move for the lad
Hopefully it works out for him. It was a wise move to take his time and not jump at the first offer he got. Apparently he's going into their first team squad not the reserves.
yeah i heard that, i seen it somewhere on twitter some Bournemouth fans reckon he could be on the subs bench next weekendQuote:

Rumour is 40,000, presumably euro but I haven't seen a set figure. You'd have to imagine they negotiated a sell-on clause too - Longford's people seem to be pretty shrewd negotiators.
its a super deal.. what was the fee when we sold DC to Stevenage?
Just did a quick search on foot.ie there and it looks like nobody came up with an informed figure, but certainly it was in five figures, probably not as high as this though.
according to football manager don cowan went for 35000, i heard we got 50000 for josh
€50,000 would work out at roughly £40,000.
Yeah I think Don's fee was about €30-35k plus add ons for appearances and stuff. I would assume there's a sell on in Josh's deal too. Great work by the club really considering we only got him last year and he hadn't been figuring for the national squads or anything so he wasn't a high profile youngster really. Goes to show that LOI is a great platform for young Irish talent.Quote:

Reported to be between 35,000-50,000 at the time.Quote:

I've heard we've signed a young Carrigy fella from Moydow. Apparently he played in England. Can't say I know anything about him. Anyone else hear of this signing or even know of the lad?
Yep I was told last week we have signed him on a 1 year loan deal from derby county. Scored 15 goals for their reserves last season and was over here on trial with harps, Longford got wind of it and made a move for him, he's 17 years old and a very talented striker. Exciting to say the least.
At the bottom of this page: http://www.dcfc.co.uk/team/U18_profiles/
Notice my location, know him well... Great news, he is very well known around Town with all the younger crowd, so expect a few new faces at matches if he starts performing
Local reporter up here screwed up the whole deal for us. Rang longford leader looking for info on him, and nobody in Longford knew he was available. The reporter passed it onto Longford who then made a bid to sign him.
Was fantastic in a trial game for us, very young, but very promising. Looks the real deal.
Is he back in Ireland due to homesickness or was he released? The English clubs don't usually loan lads out at his age.
I would have first heard of Daryl when he first went to UK. I am delighted we have got him as I thought Harps would have snapped him up.
Nothing confirmed yet though?Quote:

Your local reporter definitely didn't contact the Leader office looking for info anyway... :)Quote:
