Well for Bohemians. Certainly Stephen O'Brien and particularly Barry fergusson in from Longford have been great signing's for us!
Keith Foy from Monaghan to Sligo Rovers. Darren Mansaram too.
If your talking about fees, then Drogheda buying Zayed from Bray would be the biggest, followed by Barrett from Longford.
I think the Sligo's signing of Choice Aisien would be one of the biggest.
Celtic are going to sign him but he cant get a work permit so will be with us for a season anyway.
In fairness he hasn't played a game yet. It mightn't be a great signing at all yet, give it a while. Tis Celtic's youth manager that is after him, not Celtic's senior team;).Quote:

What attitude?:rolleyes: How can you say it's our biggest signing just cos the champions of Scotland's underage team were looking to sign him too. If he's good after he's played a few games then it's a big signing;).Quote:

Sean himself said he will be a revelation.BTW,why would Celtic U21s be signing him?Becasue they think he will eventually be a player fit for the Scottish Premeir.
Sean also said once that Matthew Judge would be a "20 goal a season striker"Quote:

Sligoman is right Stars, judge him after he's played a few games and also I've yet to see one actual quote or reference to Celtic being interested other than someone outwith of the club saying that they were interested....
Fair enough,we will see so
Darran Kelly returning to the Brandywell:D Hes been great since returning.
Big tansfers during the 06 season
Bohs signing Paul Devlin
Pats signing Keith Fahey from Drogheda
Drogheda signing Eamon Zayed from Bray
All others are squad players moving down, or first division/UK rejects moving up, and therefor not notable
Shane Barrett was last year. Eamon Zayed is the biggest money move all right. (€35K, €100K, €250,000,€1.7M (Pick one figure))Quote:

Could not have seen it coming a few months ago and looks like its seriously affecting Cork.
Well the Barrett transfer happened during the window for the 06 season which opened in Jan, so it was the biggest fee prior to Zayed. Incidentally these are the two biggest transfer fees ever agreed between Irish clubs.
How much was barrett?
For us it is defo signing Gary Rogers
:rolleyes:Quote:

I'd say Myler would easily be the best player in the first division.
Darren Kelly, moved to Carlsile from City for 100,000. Prtadown to City a few years later for nothing despite interest from numerous English league clubs. What a signing.
€40,000Quote:

Raf is the best player in the First Division and would be one of the best in the Premeir,if he was still with us.Great signing for Galway.
If so Trevor Molloy and Jason Byrne went for more. Also arguable that Keith Fahye did too (€32,000 plus Alan Reilly (who Drogs signed for €15,000))Quote:

sean talks a lot of s**t!!he also told us that carlos would get us 20 goals a season!but for me one of the best signings we've made in years is flash mansaram.for anyone who hasn't yet seen him play he is unbelievable.his pace is electric and he just has a touch of class about him that most of the players in this league don't have.if choice is as good as we're being told we could have a lethal combination on our hands.Quote:

I'd say the move of Tony Grant from Bohemians to Drogheda was one of the big transfers.
The figure wasn't released but rumour doing the rounds in Bohs is that Drogheda paid 15'000 as a transfer fee. :eek:
