Connor Sinnott on trial at Reading

**Roo69** · 28/10/2005, 9:08 AM

Connor Sinnot has gone on a 2 week trial to Reading, as he is out of contract at the end of the season he would move on a free.

**KK77** · 28/10/2005, 9:11 AM

So in other words we get shafted if they sign him!!!!!

**Roo69** · 28/10/2005, 10:06 AM

Well not really, he only signed for us before the Cork Home game which was in june (he is only with us 4 months), he has made 3 sub apperances for the 1st team but has mainly been involved with the U21's. We only offered him a contract until the end of the season when he signed, which was fair enough as he had never been with a league of ireland club before.

Still if he goes on to make it we will be kicking ourselves surely if we thought he was of a decent enough standard we should have tied him down but hey i'm only a fan sure i suppose it's nothing new the same happened with Gary Dempsey though we did actually let him go which made it worse.

**Roo69** · 28/10/2005, 10:31 AM

yep i hear what your saying alright, of course we will be kicking ourselves if he does go on to make it, thats a chance all irish clubs have to take thou. From what ive seen of him in the 21's he is a very decant player, good prospect but not sure if he's that good. But i wish him all the best and hope he does make it.

Another player under devo who was not given a chance, and look where he could be signing next year, if he dose well???

**Roo69** · 28/10/2005, 2:12 PM

He was given a chance, he signed for us and less than a week later he made his debut Vs. Cork, made 2 other apperances as well, Daz and Foxy were playing in the middle of the park at that stage and no matter how talanted the young lad is he was never going to start ahead of 2 senior players like that

**Grasshopper 99** · 28/10/2005, 2:18 PM

i know that, but 3 apperances whats that?? thats not a great chance

**Roo69** · 28/10/2005, 2:20 PM

As i said Daz and Foxy were in the middle with Collie and O'brien (had also been just signed) also fighting for a place. The more senior players were always going to get there game ahead of a young and very inxperienced player.

**Grasshopper 99** · 28/10/2005, 2:23 PM

but the only way you get experience is by playing, hasnt been playing much for the senior team, did he play for the U21s much??

Well thats true i suppose ! probably did'nt want to take the risk thou, points on the board are far more important than 1 players progress.

Yeah played most games for the U21's, very good for them. Has a great nak of just ghosting past players, wins a lot of free kicks by being fouled.

**Rocky Rules** · 30/10/2005, 6:59 PM

Didnt think he was that good anyway. Looked well off the pace and was only a sub for U-21s by end of season. Surprised he's at Reading. Plenty of other 21s are better (W Tyrrell etc)

**superfrank** · 01/11/2005, 3:25 PM

Would we not get compensation considering he's only about 18?

**jonboy** · 02/11/2005, 12:27 PM

yeah 5% of the fee if any is split between all the previous clubs its called training compensation if no fee its assessed by fifa but bray will get pittance

**Roo69** · 02/11/2005, 12:49 PM

but does he not have to be at the club for a certian period of his development, like 1/2 years or something, he's only been with us for 4 months, i dont think we would get anything

**Wexford youth** · 09/11/2005, 4:33 PM

Connor sinnott has signed with Reading till the end of the season

**Rocky Rules** · 09/11/2005, 4:53 PM

So much for my view. They obviously saw what I didn't!
Another young player gone. What about the ones who are "out" of U-21 age group?

Told some players such as Willie Murphy, Ross Zambra & Peter McGee have re-signed. Any more - and who else is leaving?

**pete** · 09/11/2005, 5:00 PM

Not good enough for Bray but Reading taking him... hmmmmm

**Roo69** · 10/11/2005, 11:12 AM

But he was'nt really, in the 3 sub games he played he was bullied off the nearly every single time, physically not able for thr eL Premier, but preformed very very well for our U21 set up, the reason why he was picked up, they knew about him for a long time anyway and was recomended to Reading by the same person who recomended Kevin Doyle..............

Maybe he was just killing time signing a short term contract with us though i myself thought he was bullied easily in the games he played though spotting a player for the future surely can't be judged on his physical ability at such a young age. In many ways though it could turn out that we will lose out just like Cork did with Doyle.
