Cheers for that Ezekiel.
Looks good for Dundalk in future tbf.
Just with all that development dya think they could possibly put a roof on the away section, my only problem.

As far as im aware we apparently have about the same playing budget as Pats and Fingal with Bohs and Shams well ahead.
And since the new chairman has come in he hasnt put a foot wrong, getting some decent sponsorship deals.
We also ended last season with a 6 figure profit but alot of that was down to reaching the cup final.

If you have the money, you are wise to spend it on good players and a good team.

Dundalk don't have it and the memory of nearly going out of existence in the last decade is far too fresh.

He went on loan to Stoke City during the summer so I would assume he will go in January.

And he'll be straight back again. I can see him signing for us during the close season, but hasn't done enough to convince.

I dont think hes up to Premiership or Championship football in England.
He would probably be able to hold down a place in League 1 but that would be the very height of his talent from what I have seen.

We've also gotten E10k for Robbie Martin, E15k for Pat Sullivan, E45k for Darren Quigley/Conor Sammon combined and E60k for Gary Dicker in the past few years (all approx amounts). Fairly sure this rule came in on at least one of them.

Edit - Enda Stevens was with Pat's for one year, so no fee applies. Similarly, Bermo was at Rovers for just one year. Fairly sure two years plus is a different story.

I thought that any club that signs a player under 23 who has been contracted to a club for at least two years (amateur terms don't count) must pay compensation provided that player has been offered a contract equal to or greater than his current terms at least 6 months before his contract expires. Provided we've offered Kilduff or Bolger or anyone else a contract equal to or greater than their current terms in the correct time period then we would have to be compensated with a transfer fee like Conor Sammon to Derry. Sadly we didn't do this for Ronan Finn and Fingal signed him for free.

If our league starts losing its good players to there it is time to get worried.

Its a shame cause the lad is a brilliant defender, would walk into most defences in the league.
Just unfortunate for him that we have Peers and Lauchlin.

Lauchlin said in Friday nights programme he wants to stay. If we want a squad we need to eep Foran, bit of a crowd fav now.

Wonder will Pats not getting europe affect they quality of player they can sign?

think Foran would get more game time next year if he stays, he;s unlucky that we have Peers and Lauchlin but this is the first season we didnt have too big an injury crisis in the centre back position so his time will come .. need players like him if we are going to mount a challenge

indo today has it that Cook signed a two year contract so hopefully the rest of the squad follows suit

You'd imagine that money maybe tight with them as per everyone else and they may look at a few lads from the Northern league as well as maybe nicking Bermingham or Hughes off Mons if they dont go up.
