Mid-Season Transfer Rumours

**DeNiro** · 27/08/2010, 1:27 PM

I know that Mr A, but leaving out the league's top scorer creates a bit of a disadvantage.

It's a max of 5% for solidarity payments though isn't it? Even a 50k fee only makes them €2.5k at that.

Hour and a half, hopefully just as a spectator, we're in for a big enough hammering as it is.

David Grincell released by Waterford and Tiernan Mulvenna released by Dundalk ... only a matter of time before theres rumours of them both coming to us

**CSFShels** · 27/08/2010, 4:50 PM

Almost sure neither are eligible to play in the LOI this season now.

**FrOsTy** · 27/08/2010, 5:06 PM

Grincell signed for local side Tramore

Was he not offered a contract by Rovers but turned it down for first team footie?

Risky strategy. If a British club matched the 20k clause then he/the club wouldn't even be able to milk that out of them.

Rumour in the other thread says they've accepted 60k with 40k additional depending on appearances.

Ye he was.
Shams offered him a contract but somewhat reduced as far as I know.
We came in and offered him a reasonable contract and most of all regular first team football.

I find it very hard to believe that there is a 20k clause in his contract because if there was a British club would have been in for him by now.
Also the fact that apparently Dundee were sniffing around him earlier in the season and allegeldy offered us 100,000 grand for him.

What ever the offer was apparently we have accepted it but apparently Amond has rejected their first contract offer.

I think he can only go north at this point Dunny,will be interesting to see where he goes.
I wish him well and hope he comes back to Oriel a BIGGER and better player.

Ah, OK. My impression from other Sligo fans was that it was accepted wisdom the 20k clause existed.

BBC reports Bohs have turned down a 60k from Celtic for Paddy Madden

Damien Brennan and some other chap has gone to shels until the end of the season.

**poster** · 29/08/2010, 1:39 PM

Funny how since we've moved to our own private forum how other LoI fans are so out of the Rovers loop

Sad state of affairs when the league's top scorer goes for a reported 60k with a few add-ons. Hope they got a sell-on clause in there somewhere
