Transfer Rumours

[SMorgan]

I can't remember whether I said it before, but the rumour is that
we (Waterford United) have signed former U.C.D. and Shamrock Rovers
centre back Seamus Long. Appart from Extratime.ie, there is no confirmation.

Can anyone provide official confirmation.

I wouldn't put too much store by what you read extratime.ie. They reported that Faz had signed for Cork despite being offered more by Dundalk. The facts are that Cork are paying Faz 600 to 700 a week MORE than Dundalk were prepared to go.

You really should look for your information elsewhere.

Hold on- Didn't Cork agree to that 1k a week wage cap?

Would that indicate that Cork offered 1k and Dundalk 300 a week?

Dave Freeman has signed for Monaghan - no confirmation online so can't post it in the definite transfers but he has signed.

Quote from Seán Connor:

"It's disappointing as he's a very good player. But we couldn't compete with Cork's offer. We offered a very good full-time deal but there was a €300 gap between what we offered in gross terms to what he accepted in net terms. So I just couldn't fit it into our budget."

Strange. Why would Faz be telling Connor what he was offered in net terms? We dont do contracts in net terms anymore

[Dodge]

Strange. Why would Faz be telling Connor what he was offered in net terms?

because the Net figure is all that matters to the majority of players (and people generally...)

its hardly going to be too hard for him to work out, all he wouldnt have wanted to know is what he gets in his hands at the end of the day.

Maybe but is it not strange then to compare the terms using net for one and gross for the other? Why not just say they offered x00 more than us?

I've no idea what we offered(but I am confident our budget will not be exceeded overall) but am not the most trusting of Sean Connor...

[holidaysong]

When did Cork clear the all the wages they owed? I didn't see anything about it on here and surely they wouldn't be allowed sign new players if they hadn't..

And you are of Paul Doolin...please, give us a break!

Why not? We have til January 31st to pay backpay. We have broken no rules.

Afaik there is still 1 player in talks and Alan mathews to sort out

And you are of Paul Doolin...please, give us a break!

You've lost me(happening quite often today). I am what of Paul Doolin? Who brought Doolin into the equation?

Im talking about what Connor said(my opinion of Doolin is a rant not worth starting). But Doolin has been given a budget decided by others. I imagine its up to him how he spends it and it'l be obvious if he made the wrong choices.

You said you are not the most trusting of Sean Connor and I said you are of Paul Doolin over Connor! Doolin is a clown, look what he said at the end of lasts eason as Drogheda manager, "whats the point", game isnt significant etc etc...every game is significant etc etc etc!

Again what on earth is your point? Doolin hasnt commented on this situation

There should be a rule against it. It's ridiculous that you can go out signing new players when you still owe money to previous players and staff..
