But he's City through and through
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
With Roy we could win the league this season. Without him & no replacement it would seem unlikely.
If he is sold now we could add at least a 10% sell on clause which is where the real money is. We may have sold Kevin Doyle for pitance but at least we got a 10% sell on clause inserted in order to to quick deal. By conservative estimates that would be worth at least 1m euro in todays market.
I think negotiations would start above Alan Bennets fee earlier this season. Would a Premiership side (not Reading) bid <500k for such a young player?
Staunton picks his side based on the club players at paid by, If you are a Premiership sub you are automatically better than say Championship starter.
In Leon we trust
I wouldn't count previous deals as they were all cráp, paid far below the value, chronic history of this with City.
Benno is a defender, strikers imo should always get more return. Roy has scored 20 goals and its only half way through the season. Anything less that <€700 up front is not a good deal for us, end of.I think negotiations would start above Alan Bennets fee earlier this season.

Latest development is that if/when Fulham buy Roy they will loan him to City until the end of the season or until city are out of the running for the league.
IMO this is a win win situation.
Some russian club tried to get roy on loan until november for 200k but City turned it down.
Life isn't all beer and football...some of us haven't touched a football in months
Roy Will Join Fulham for €450,000 and be loaned back for the rest of the season. Deal said to be worth up to €800,000 after 10 apps and an international cap.
20% sell on clause also included.
Amazing bit of business by the Club.
Confirmed just now by RED FM
Excellent business by City.
Im thrilled.
This is the best possible scenario as we all know Roy was gonna go anyway.
Well done Rico, Lennox & Co
low lie the fields of Bishopstown......
fair play ,thats a great bit of business for an eL club
Excellent deal, especially that ye still get to keep him for this season too.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Yeah and Roy could have just signed a pre-contract with them and Fulham would have only had to pay 240k in compo.
Best of luck to him. Very good deal for Cork.

If it was that easy dont you think Fulham would have done that? It was Watfords interested that sparked this happening.
He's gone, €450K initially rising to €800K with add ons.
He'll then be loaned back for the rest of the season.
Also i'm hearing a 20% sell on clause.
He'll travel there in the next 24 hours for a medical.

Surely he can wait til Saturday
You mean after the Pats game surely?
I'd be surprised if its 20%. That's huge.
Great deal.
Possibly the best part of this deal could be a happy Roy O'Donovan working hard for the rest of the season with a spring in his step.
City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.
O'Bama - "Eerah yeah, I'd say we can alright!"
G.O'Mahoney Trapattoni'll sort ém out!!
Definitely. Roy will want to impress his new manager. Best way to do it is score as many as possible
Pablo, where have you gotten 20% from?
