Ryan had agreed terms with Rovers till end of the season as he was going to Canada after the Christmas and wanted to play football. Shams offered a 4 figure deal (not sure if its till the end of next season) and he took it. He never done the medical in the Showgrounds. Sligo town is always full of rumours on Rovers, players etc so thats where it came from no doubt. On the player himself, its a gamble. He is a fine player but his best days are behind him! He's not match fit but could do ya a job. Id have liked him signed until the end of the season but no way on the money that Shams are paying him.
I don't think he made it to Sligo, much less did a medical, it seems we were lukewarm (fitness concerns) about signing him and the offer was a contract at ordinary money until the end of season if he passed a medical. Some people down here are pished off about it, but I think we know our best midfield and Richie would prolly not have had much to offer when we really need a left full back. Funny decision for North Korea to sign him, but inscrutable is inscrutable.Quote:

Surely their is only two sets of people that know what he is getting, himself and the shamrock rovers board. How people could know within a few hours for certain he is getting way more than what their club offered and that it's a four figure number always baffles me. Surely it's guess work unless you see the contract?
It's like the people that talk about other teams budgets as if they have their accounts sitting infront of them.
Your whole club is going Elding, look at Jayo, Rice will be back before Ryan is fit to run for a bus. Lovely uniforms but is there any rice to feed the masses.
What's Quigley's Elding factor? Is he worth a four-game ban before the end of the season? Pat Sullivan is also good value for a strop.Quote:

Over 600 games in the lower divisions in England should. Like it or not, most of those clubs have a more professional set-up than anything in our league, and there are very few League of Ireland players who wouldn't jump at a full-time contract with Notts County or Scunthorpe.
Limerick Out:
Cecil Nyoni (clearance denied)
Dundalk IN:
Connor Winn (Shamrock Rovers)
Dunny. Where is the official word?
