That's tough - you knew what the price was when you signed him!Originally Posted by higgins
Under-23s with a club for two years (which suits us down to the ground!), or any player still under contract, will all move for transfer fees. That former is why we'd get money for Sully, the latter why Drogs would get money for their three players. 'Tis true it doesn't happen too often - suppose it's just a coincidence that Drogs are involved each time.

Drogs favourites in Sullivan chase
January 14, 2005
Drogheda United appear to be the front-runners in the race to sign UCD’s highly-rated right back Pat Sullivan.
Sullivan is wanted by both Drogheda and eircom League champions Shelbourne – said to be the only clubs with the financial clout to cough up a fee in the region of Eur15,000 for the player’s services.
Sullivan, who studied for a diploma in sports management at UCD, previously worked under Drogs manager Paul Doolin at the College.
Shels had also been interested in the former Shamrock Rovers schoolboy as cover for skipper Owen Heary, but are not thought to be willing to fork out such a fee for a fringe player.
Drogs have lost John Flanagan and Danny O’Connor – two players who have filled in at right back in the past – to Athlone Town and Longford Town respectively this close-season.
Winter acquisition from Bohemians, Damian Lynch, is a natural right back, but could have to fend off a challenge from Sullivan for the first team slot at United Park if the transfer goes through.
The ambitious Drogs have already completed the signings of six players since the end of last season: goalkeeper Dan Connor, defenders Lynch, Simon Webb and Graham Gartland, midfielder Sami Ristila and winger Shane Robinson have all linked up with Doolin’s squad.
Doesn't mean they won't sign him though!
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Sure, we'll just put him on the tab.
from the Drogheda United official website:
Drogheda United are delighted to announce the signing of Patrick Sullivan from UCD. The highly-rated full back is the latest aquisition to Paul Doolin's 2005 squad and was being sought by a number of clubs, including Shelbourne. 'I'm delighted to be strengthening the Squad, Patrick will be a valuable acquisition and I am looking to add further quality to the side' stated Paul Doolin this morning.
B0llox. Well, 20k extra and we still have Newguy...
Better revise that figure pineapple .... He signed for Drogheda United ( a.k.a. Atletico Doolo Neooowww) for €15,000 according to all of today's papers.
I smell arbitration

All of this begs the very important question - who is "football legend", and how did he know of this six weeks in advance?!
Maybe Sully himself is getting all modest now he's in the money?
Nah Sully would have signed himself as mercenary reprobate or something equally honest
