Don't forget Dean Fitzgerald to Glens.
The only Irish club to win a European trophy.
Apparantly one of their best players
Exodus Team so far:
--------------- Forde
--- Murphy, Bennet Dillon
--- Molloy, O'Callaghan, Ryan, Ward
--- Byrne, Keegan, O'Donovan
Bennet & O'Donovan as official bids made & rejected.
Not a bad team, nice formation...
I can never remember so many eL players linked & signing for Uk clubs of these standards...
A clear sign of progression in the league.

Yo te quiero, mi querida. Sin tus besos, yo soy nada.
Abri o portão de ouro, da maquina do tempo.
Mi mamá me hizo guapo, listo y antimadridista.
3-4-3 Pete?!?! aggressive formation away from home
No defensive midfielders either.3-4-3 Pete?!?! aggressive formation away from home
Getting depressed as more & more players leave. Will take a long time to replace some of that quality.
Pat Kavanagh's getting very good reviews at Birmingham so far. Scored on his debut for the stiffs, and was singled out as the exceptional player in their next game (they've only played two since he joined). Touch wood he'll keep making that progress. More potential than any of the midfielders in pete's XI.
Excuse my ignorance but who is Pat Kavanagh?
To be fair - a drop to junior football on the island doesn't count....Don't forget Dean Fitzgerald to Glens.
Funny you should say that - I've just had a text from Pat saying "Who the fcuk is Pete...?"Excuse my ignorance but who is Pat Kavanagh?
Players moving to the UK is great for things in Ireland on many points..
Look at it this way.. the player spends 2-3 years here making their mark on the game
get scouted..
bought by the English clubs.. (money into the team and league - some may feel the amount is not enough but over the years the amounts will grow).
Presence of the League and teams is improved around Europe..
Players who move to the UK improve
Represpent the Rep of Ireland and improve the national team
Improves the league again
Kids in Ireland see the teams doing well.. more press.. more influx of players..
More players improve in the bigger spot light of the league..
Attract more scouts..
Attract higher prices..
circle goes around..
Cant be a bad thing?
Every start has a base.. this yeah has seen alot go and for record prices.. next year who knows...
Your ignorance is noted and duly excused.Excuse my ignorance but who is Pat Kavanagh?
He's a right winger we signed from Wayside Celtic during the summer on amateur terms. Scored five minutes after coming on for his debut against Waterford, but then went off to Canada for two weeks because he had holidays booked. He scored in each of our last three games to end with four goals from ten games before Birmingham took him on trial and (depending on who you talk to) signed him on a six month deal. He's a quality winger - kind of in the Damien Duff mould, who just picks up the ball and runs at you. One to keep an eye on.
To add, I think Kavanagh's about 23 and was released by Bohs a couple of years back as a failed U-21.
Sounds more like he's in the William Webb Ellis mould.
TO TELL THE TRUTH IS REVOLUTIONARY
The ONLY foot.ie user with a type of logic named after them!
All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.
Touché!
Could do with him in the Current Affairs Forum.
Good against Bohs anyway! Then again,who wasn't in 2006?Your ignorance is noted and duly excused.

He's not that old, only 21/22 at most.
You mean the same "junior team" who beat your lot last season, despite having it's worst season in living memory (and your best)?To be fair - a drop to junior football on the island doesn't count....
Tsk, tsk.
The only Irish club to win a European trophy.
