I wouldn't be upset about any player going on to better things but the timing is unfortunate.

Sorry I wasn't very clear.
What I meant was 50K would more then pay the wages of any decent replacement for a whole season.

If Conor Powell is out of contract at Sligo he would probably cost even less then that. You could even swipe the next rising St Pats left back for buttons as well.

From what I've seen of Conor Powell so far, you are more than welcome to him.

Didn't Enda Stevens go to a side in League One on trial earlier in the year and they weren't interested in making it a permanent transfer? Hard to stand in a players way

Stevens deal to Villa should be completed tomorrow. He will be loaned back until January, transfer fee won't be great up front but should have decent add ons.

Ok, Good news for Rovers that he will be loaned back, he would be missed in the run in. I had heard 300,000 euro transfer fee but that could be wrong.

So, what happens if Rovers somehow get through their group in the Europa League? He gets an extended loan?

Stevens isn't being loaned back. Rather, he's agreed to sign for Villa in January. He'll be a Rovers player until then. That's according to Dan McDonnell on Twitter anyway.

It could be complicated so ?? He can play until Jan with Rovers........Contract up....No cash for Rovers ?? Are Rovers drawing up new contracts as we speak ??

He's contracted until next November. Or he was until Villa bought him.

Could well be the case. Probably less hassle to sign a pre-contract than to sign him and loan him back.

We had a similar deal with wolves on Aaron McCarey. He,trained with them during the week towards the end of our season and came home for games. Then moved over at end of season but only signed pro forms that January when he turned 18.

And Jim Paterson (ex Dundee Utd/Motherwell). Also Kevin Long tweeted that he was on the way to Rovers to play European football. He's on loan at Accrington at the moment, so not sure if it's realistic, he did say he was getting on a flight not long after, although it looked like he was having a joke with Padraig Amond initially.

Just had a look at Rickett's wiki. Some fall through the leagues there. From a semi regular with Spurs through MLS and Moldova to the German regional leagues

Ex-Arsenal, Tottenham and Wolves midfielder Rohan Ricketts on Twitter: "Im happy to say I'm just done my medical for Shamrock Rovers and I'm on my way to sign the contract. I am absolutely buzzing to get playing."

Is he a free? Who'll go the other way?

Other way to where? He didn't have a club

Nobody's necessarily going anywhere. The club is going to have 6 more games this season, 7 including the replay in Belfield and possibly more if we win that game. Add in the increased likelihood of injuries in European football and you're going to need a few extra heads.

Don Cowan signed for Stevenage. Undisclosed fee, haven't heard any rough figures yet.

Foster is a very very poor manager considering the squad.
Get bucko in there next season anf you'll do well .

I think Foster's done well considering the constraints he's been under. He's brought through a few good young players (partly out of necessity), Kearns was an inspired signing and he seems to have gotten the best out of Quigley.

And so he should too. Shocking underachievement this season.

No doubt Foster has his flaws, but to be honest I think he has done a decent job here. At the start of the season he went for quality over quantity, which was probably a mistake. But no other club has had the same amount of injuries we had. All season our squad was done to its bare bones and we rarely filled the bench.

I use to be the biggest fan of the pitch but now I'm not so sure. Yes its great as it brings extra revenue into the club by renting it out and the pitch can withstand the weather (rain) better than the grass pitches. But is it just coincidence that the team with the synthetic pitch has the most amount of injuries. Also from talking to any of the Dundalk players most say that they hate playing on it and the bounce of the ball is different than on grass.

I was only joking, but fair enough.

The photos of 4G pitches look ok, but has anyone ever actually seen one in the flesh, so to speak? Or played on one?

My junior club has a 3G training facility, and whilst its grand for training on in bleak mid-winter, I wouldn't want to play a proper game on it.
