He deserves another chance as he has plenty of ability, not sure why it didn't work out for him Sligo though.

Showed talent at times alright but not the sort of player you want when you're in a relegation fight all the same. The highlight of his season though was when he was booked against Bray and then got himself a second yellow card for heading the ball out of the keepers hands.

Yeah maybe so, he would see himself as a passer, probably not a player to get his sleeves rolled up and get stuck in. He was lucky at Dundalk that he had Towell and O'Donnell in beside him, but think he did ok for a season at Bohs in between spells with Dlk so he has talent, but he had a bad injury at Dlk second time.

Portadown are looking the in the region of �20k for him.
I don't think ourselves, or any Irish club really, should be paying transfer fees. Plenty of other talent out there.

Richard Bursh, Jake Dykes, Ryan McManus, Sean Houstan, Liam Martin and Ruari Keating all linked with Harps. A few of them trained with us during the week.
Martin has an offer from Sligo.
Keating has an offer from Galway.
Houstan has an offer from Bohs.

Interesting to see how tonights session goes and how many of the above are in attendance. Training match v Strabane Athletic on Tuesday night might show up a few more faces.

The chairman did like always. I think there's some local investment and not a group of investors

I thought he had claimed his tax return already and that's why he wasn't playing in the republic anymore. Wasn't getting his game with crusaders and that's why he asked for the request.

**Aaron** · 15/01/2016, 10:36 AM

Thats right, cant sign for a LOI club

**brendy_�ire** · 15/01/2016, 11:04 AM

Darren Murray signed for Cliftonville there. Happy that we didn't try to outbid them.

Was there a fee involved? Is it known how much?

There would have been, but no mention of a figure.

He'll most likely end up back at Institute.

Apparently, Shamrock Rovers are to sign Stephen Elliott to fill up the void left by Damien Duff of crocked ex-internationals.
