Who is moving on to free up the budget for these signings?
or are shams just pimping another portion of their 'members owned model'
I guess we will find out over the next week or so.
Assumes that cork are not paying some of Cummins wages. I'm guessing farrugia and o Neill aren't big money but looking to position themselves for a move to UK when they are ready. Either way we need a bit of cover, the squad is very thin.
Pats were able to match what Rovers were offering O'Neill so I can't imagine it's huge money.
Here on a technicality.
Id imagine Aaron Bolger will be leaving the club permanently, the club would have money to spend from that.
Fair point, His loan deal was until July and given Cardiff got relegated in the meantime he may have more of a chance of being signed....
O'Neill and Farrugia Sign for the Hoops!

Not a fan of letting Cummins go. Sure he hasn't been prolific but the service hasn't been great. But who at the club is a better no. 9 @soccerlady? Shep? No. Crowley? No. Etc.
I get the value for money argument, but in a ccfc best 11 at the moment, Cummins is no. 9 IMO.
I don't know if Aaron will be moved on. Funnily enough Greg Bolger's emergence as being very important to how the team play might have helped him as it has sort of shown that the sort of deeper midfielder role is vital in how the team and system works and Aaron plays that role very well and there's not really anyone else that's really a natural at it. People also forget that Aaron is still only 19 too so it's not as if he's at a stage of needing to be playing every week.
Wow, just as well that we have only one more league game against you!
Would have thought two full backs would have been a bigger priority.
Cummins to Rovers would make sense but Bradley would probably play him on the wing.
Georgie Kelly was a big loss too. If they had of kept these players and went against their own rules regarding players only in the college playing for them they might be further up the table! Wasn't too long ago they signed back Shorthall and signed Jay Byrne aswel
It's not really about going against our own rules really; I think we just don't have the money for outsiders these days. Compare now to even 5 years ago - three extra youth teams and a big increase in insurance costs (as Sligo have shown). That money has to come out of the wages bill. Wouldn't surprise me if we were pretty much fully amateur tbh
Any word on who the new scholars are coming in to replace the lads gone to Rovers?
Chuffed with that , no sign of a Cummins announcement so you'd wonder is that just chatter
Cummins is a done deal but obviously Cork want him for Friday night (and possibly Monday?).
Why have UCD realeased their 2 players before the transfer window opens? Given their position in the table, surely it would make sense to have them available for this weekend.
https://www.independent.ie/sport/soc...-38258005.htmlMeanwhile, Shamrock Rovers are expected to add striker Graham Cummins to the pair of UCD recruits they signed yesterday.Gary O'Neill and U-21 international Neil Farrugia arrived but neither will be available for tomorrow's clash against Dundalk.
A deal to bring Cummins from Cork City should be concluded as early as today, with Joel Coustrain heading the other way on loan. Another fringe player, Sam Bone, could also be on his way to Munster on loan, with Waterford leading the hunt.
Danú Bishop Kinsella haa been bumped up from the 19s anyway. He's top scorer with 6. A couple of others will move up too I'd aay
Rumours that Jack Keaney has a scholarship offer
Bone and Coustrain apparently
Both on loan apparently, how much budget would that free up? Also Cummins is not going to play for free. Budget not as tight as some would like us to believe
