According to today's star Paddy has signed a pre-contract with rovers.
WTF I cannot believe that we didnt have him tied down to a contract knowing he could walk into pretty much any of the other clubs.
In fairness, he's only shown flashes of what he can do this year. He's not playing to the standard he set for himself last season.
I can't blame him for wanting to leave, especially when one of the bigger sides come in.

I've heard two stories:
a) he's signed a pre-contract with Rovers and will move at the end of the season
b) Rovers bid €28k to have him now

I'd say he'd want to leave even if we stay up.
Imo, if he wants to leave, then I'd rather he'd go now. I don't want to have a player, no matter how good, whose head isn't here.

Typical of our official website to not have a mention of it at this stage.
Well, they had the team news for tomorrow's night put up a while ago so they're updating it, slowly but surely. Nothing on the Rovers site, which is updated regularly, so I guess there's been no move yet.
I wonder if he'll play tomorrow night.

Why would any club put a romour on its official website? I'm sure they will put it up when the/if the deal has been agreed.
At the start of the season it was romoured Derry bid 3 times for Paddy but he decided to stay with us for one more season and signed a new 1 year deal with us. Paddy was brillianty last season but has had a lot of injuries this year and has not managed to reproduce that form. Personally if he is going to leave at the end of this season, which i believe he will, i think the club should try and cash in on him now and sell him during the transfer window and try and use the cash to bring in new players. But as he is out of contract at the end of the season i think he will stay with us as Rovers will get him for nothing, unless their is a UEFA development fee involved?
Now that is nothing personal agsinst the bloke, just totally for financial reasons. It would also be a great move for Paddy himself moving to a club really moving in the right direction. I don't think any Bray fan would begrudge him the move. If he is not in the squad tomorrow i reckon a move could be very close.
He is 23, so the development fee is a bit of a strange one. His birthday is 29th of December so if he/Rovers wait til the end of the season, he'll be 24.
AFAIK, a development fee only applies to transfers of players who are 23 or under.

I used to know a good bit about that cos usually we would/could have been due compensation fees for players. Anyway if Kav is in the age bracket and Bray have offered him a new deal worth at least the same as his old one you will be due €40k.
looks like it over for paddy at bray, left out of the squad tonight and going out on loan till the end of the season..
Yeah, I imagine that was the case. Will he play against them in the game at Tallaght later on in the year?
