How long had Zayed left on his contract - end of 2006 or 2007 season?

I suppose Bray had no need to sell him & Drogs desparate for a goal scorer.

Drogs just not setup to score goals so Zayed won't to knocking them in although he might make the 0-0s 1-0s.

More money than sense in Drogland. In the last 12 months must be looking at 300-400k in transfer fees alone not to mention wages. Got to be looking at wages well above income when you exclude Director loans?

absolutely crazy money to be paying for a player with the worst work ethic in the league. maybe he'll up his game now that he's playing for a better team

**higgins** · 04/07/2006, 5:47 PM

Part I cant work out is where Crowe will fit in to Doolins plans?

Anybody else like to hazard a stab at the "undisclosed" fee

Open to correction on this from Dodge or any of the other Pats lads, but we bid €55k plus Robbie Doyle for him last season and got turned down, so allowing for inflation and a bidding war between us and Drogheda, €80k sounds well plausible.

I know exactly what Pats mystery man

put up for us to sign him and I can guarentee you that Pats were informed that Drogs offered €80,000 to sign him. He had agreed terms with Pats and he would've been our highest paid player (by a bit). Nightdub is right about last season's offer (give or take 5k)

**Risteard** · 04/07/2006, 11:12 PM

Me reckons the slow long-term development thing has been abandoned and they're going all out for the title.
Good luck.

**LeixlipRed** · 05/07/2006, 1:39 AM

4-0 spankings in Derry will have to be cut out if they're gonna be anyhere near the top at the end of the season. Can't see Zayed adding much to the team other than perhaps being an adequate enough replacement for O'Brien. Zayed is probably technically better but he certainly doesnt put in as much effort. As I've already said, it's crazy money

**Battery Rover** · 05/07/2006, 6:46 AM

Athlone signings so far.

Stephen Feeney (Sligo Rovers)

Stevie Gavin (Galway United)

Damon Kearney. Played for St Josephs Boys under 18s in the DDSL last season

Adrian Carberry (St Peters Athlone) Back yet again for another go. Legend.

Stephen Ryan. A Republic of Ireland junior international. Might solve our scoring problem when he gets a bit of experience.

**pete** · 05/07/2006, 12:37 PM

What will Drogs do all their players? Surely with such a huge squad players will get upset at not playing? I make it Fitzpatrick, Barret, Zayed, Leech, Ristilla & O'Brien (now saying he back in 5 weeks) as 6 1st team forwards which is nuts. How can you keep them all match fit?

Wage bill must be rising at a staggering rate now?

The 2nd string quality can't be great if losing 4-0 to Derry - team line out looks like half 1st eleven players too.

**SeanDrog** · 05/07/2006, 12:47 PM

it helps when your not hit with a revenue bill of 160k out of the blue to blow a gaping hole in your yearly budget.

Ooh, perfect quote.
Must bookmark this for use later.

**higgins** · 05/07/2006, 1:23 PM

160K would be gone within a month up at Drogheda I would imagine.

Spread out over the season it would mean Cork had to have 3K per week less than you lot in terms of wages.

By the way well done,
I think your doing a great job up there and have no reason to doubt you lot have the money. Im not going to start Drogheda rumours the same way UCD Cork Rovers and Bohs fans have started Shels ones in the past.

Hope you lot continue to build.
One of the best things to happen the league in recent seasons.
