Transfer rumours

**shep** · 27/10/2010, 11:26 AM

Couple of WUMs on orielweb at the minute saying Cherrie and Faz going to Sligo and Miller going to Charlton and Maher going to Rovers.(although i believe Sligo have been on to Cherrie)

Any other rumours doing the rounds at the other clubs????

**Rasputin** · 27/10/2010, 11:56 AM

Havent heard any for us including anything about Cherrie or Faz.
If we got Cherrie I would be delighted, always said he was the best keeper in the league.
Interestingly the vast majority of rumours circulating seem to be players heading to Shams and I would expect that to be the case.

**passinginterest** · 27/10/2010, 12:02 PM

Supposedly, Brian Shelley, Killian Brennan and Conor Kenna are done deals to Shamrock Rovers. Gary O'Neill also a possibility.

**Hibs4Ever** · 27/10/2010, 12:04 PM

Gonna be a seriously huge wages bill at Shams next year if most of these signings are true

**Mark** · 27/10/2010, 12:27 PM

Anto Murphy back to Pat's seemingly

**total hoofball** · 27/10/2010, 12:37 PM

Cretaro back to Sligo
Higgins and McGlynn back to Derry
Karl Sheppard and Conor Kenna to Shamrock Rovers
Kilduff, Bolger and possibly one or two others from UCD to Pats

Those are probably the most solid rumours I've heard so far but I'd expect alot more squad changes than usual over the winter - the Bohs situation, another club on a tightrope and a 'cash in hand' club being punished could see alot of players out of work. Also many players will be emigrating over the winter which will force many PD clubs having to dip into the First Division, underage and Inter/Junior leagues to top up squads more than normal.

I heard McGlynn was off to Sligo

We tried to sign him last year along with a few that went to Bohs but they blew us away with their offer.
Heard the Killian Brennan deal was done a long time ago. He'd suit Shams perfectly, and not in a football way.

Have head dozens of rumours already. There's no doubt that Rovers have made Kenna an offer. So have Pats apparently. Considering he was on more money at Drogheda than he was at Pats, there's no doubt where he's going if its down to money

Bolger and Kilduff mentioned fairly regularly but Kilduff looking for a move to the UK.

One of Sligo's dublin lads is likely to move home with ourselves and Rovers in the running.

**brendy_éire** · 27/10/2010, 1:39 PM

Any word from Pats?

Pete Mahon seems fairly certain that some of his players are getting tapped up.

Anyone out of contract at the end of the season are free to talk for ages, aren't they?

**Mr A** · 27/10/2010, 2:02 PM

Yes, but only after their current club is informed.

Kilduff and Bolger both also under 23 and with us two years and more. As is the case with most of our squad. And presumably we've learnt from last year. Would Pat's (or anyone) be paying transfer fees this year?

Be delighted if Killer went cross channel. Better all-round forward than Sammo, I think, who's currently doing well for Killie.

**Dunny** · 27/10/2010, 2:11 PM

Neale Fenn is retiring again.

Pats definitely won't be paying transfer fees but apparently none of your players are under contract for next year so they're free to move.

Rovers approached Kenna and Dave McAllister. Not getting into the argument of whats legally tapping up and whats not

In fairness he is from Tallaght and Rovers will definately be in Europe next season, whereas Pats will probably only be in Europe if Bohs are kicked out!

**Mario** · 27/10/2010, 2:17 PM

Wouldnt UCD (and Rovers too) still be entitled to a development fee from any club that signed Kilduff?

Yeah, that was what I was alluding to. I assume Kildare's portion gets divvied out between everyone else?

I think scholarship players are contracted for the length of their scholarship. Don't know quite how it works, but Paul Corry for example is starting Second Commerce, so I think he's effectively contracted to us until he finishes his degree (i.e. till summer 2012). That'd cover a fair few of our players (I'm told).

But then I've heard the full spectrum of rumours already from various sources, from we're going to lose most of our players to they're all under contract, so I don't really know where we stand. I hate this time of year though.

I think Sheppard's more likely to go to England, I can't see why he would stay in Ireland.
