Bebo?
Where else?;)
I have a feeling it might only be a loan deal as I'm almost certain that our players' contracts last until January.
Interesting that Shane McFaul joins Scunthorpe shortly after it's finally become on the allowed list of words for foot.ie :D
McFaul is only actually on loan to Scunthorpe. If he moves abroad we're due a very small fee for him.
Not unless he's on a two year contract.
It seems that's changed. Even a year's worth something now.Quote:

Shane McFaul has signed for Brighton until the end of the season.

Brighton fans decidedly underwhelmed.
Still, good move for McFaul and one which should raise the club's profile a bit more in England. Now to find the next Dicker/McFaul...
His name is Ronan Finn.;)Quote:

McFaul made his Brighton debut at the weekend (some sources credited it to Chamberlain, but it was McFaul). Came on in the 90th minute, miscontrolled one pass badly, and that was it. Seems he'll be in around the team anyway ocne he gets match fitness back.
Stockport go two points off the play offs after another good win today; Dicker started as per usual.
Shane was released by Brighton today, after just that one senior appearance.
What a waste. Don't suppose there's a chance in hell of him ending up back here.Quote:

Wouldn't say no to taking him back, of course!
I presume as a free agent he is allowed to move to any club whether out side of transfer windows are not?
Cant see him coming back, not many players do, do they?
Could really do with him however!
Presumably can't play until July though? Three club rule and all that.
Could play for us though.;)Quote:

From what I gather, he can play for any EL side.
??? has mcfaul returned to ireland??Quote:

Us and Dundalk?!
Hardly massive interest really. Would expect more. Decent player, and an Irish U-21 international while with us.
he barely made the grade to play loi football,finn is a better midfielder and he has not been linked to a team across the seas. its amazing what an agent can do for you. let a first division club sign him so he can go where he belongs
Are you mad? It would be great to have McFaul back in the centre alongside Finn. You could put Kinger on the right or use them all in a three man midfield when playing with one striker. That said, I can't see him coming back to us.Quote:

Can see that being a minority view...
In the minority - agreed
Do you think any research went into UCD and Dundalk being the two clubs mentioned in that article?Quote:

Careful now. We don't want to imply that eleven-a-side is staffed by lazy hacks and drug abusing buffoons. That would be libellous. ;)Quote:

I don't think any of them are full time.
Dundalk?
You never know. Plenty of money there anyways.
Is it me or is it a bit strange Brighton released something like 10 players and then in the next day or two announce that Micky Adams will be there new manager? Surely they would wait to appoint Adams and let him decide which of these players he believes should be realeased!
I'd have McFaul back in a heartbeat!
None of the first division teams are full time
McFaul was in attendance tonight. He can only sign for us if he wants to play before July.
