Anybody any idea what kind of fee Shels will get for Ryan Robinson?

Ye would get compensation for him if he goes to England at the end of the season because he's under 23.

I think this is the case with players with his level of ability and what makes them dangerous - quiet, out of the game and then hits another goal of the season contender from nowhere. LeTissier or Coyle like. His problem is that he looks like he will break if tackled and needs to be on a weight training program if he isnt already. He would get busted in the English lower leagues especially. I think he is good enough for Pats to take a gamble on significant add-ons and sacrifice some up front payment depending on his to bulking up a bit!

I've heard €50k up front with add ons. No idea how accurate the info is though.

Yeah i'm aware of that but that's spread out between all his former clubs- it probably wouldn't cover a weeks wages for the squad.

200k for Forrester? LOL

**adamd164** · 30/05/2014, 9:20 PM

Pat's won't get anything close to 100k, nevermind 200k. And that's regardless of where he goes in England.

**nigel-harps1954** · 30/05/2014, 9:32 PM

Roddy Jnr released by Derry tonight.

**Aaron** · 30/05/2014, 9:38 PM

Philip Lowry signed from Linfield

**nigel-harps1954** · 30/05/2014, 9:40 PM

Gavin Kavanagh and Conor Meade released by Waterford.

**adamd164** · 30/05/2014, 9:42 PM

Kav could do a job for Galway perhaps.. he knows Tommy Dunne too.

Waterford are a farce.

That's his LOI career down the drain so, unless some other club is mad enough to employ his old man.

Has James McClean said anything yet?

**Aaron** · 30/05/2014, 10:05 PM

James McClean ‏@JMcC_23 17m Great to pizza stamping his own mark on the squad and trust him now to bring in some good players to strengthen the squad

Tomorrow's headlines: "Ireland soccer star James McClean attacked at Craven Cottage by nephew of world champion boxer"

**Mr A** · 31/05/2014, 2:50 PM

Things just keep getting worse for Sean Connor. No wonder he calls himself David Truscott now.

That 200k quoted for Forrester is sterling remember so about �250k, if that's the basic fee, throw in a few add ons, maybe a % sell on clause too Pats would be mad not to take it.

Pat Dolan rates him at €17m (maybe that is sterling too?), St Pats rate him at stg�200,000

If Chris Forrester is out of contract at the end of the season, why would anyone pay more then the UEFA compensation amount?

I'd say that's roughly the exchange rate between sterling and Pat Dolan's imagination.
