    I dont mind as long as we get decent money. There is talk of £300,000 which i think is not enough. £500,000 should be the minimum at this stage.

    At least we have cover in that area of the park.
    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.

    I think £300,000 + appearance, international cap clauses which is close to 500k euro is reasonable. Alan Bennet is good but such a figure would encourage better transfer fees in the future. Remember he only has 1 year of his contract left & 500k could be used to extend the contracts of our current best players & get a replacement in.

    League's top sorer goes for 100k. What makes you think you'll get more than that for a "decent" defender?

    a) he's younger
    b) he's not "decent", he's one of the best in the league
    c) our club is not falling apart at the seams.

    500,000 plus 20% sell on claus + a friendly with garaunteed appearances for doyle, benno and long.

    well all your good palyers are sold, time for lennox to sell up and take the money with him, greed.

    but selling all your players isnt good for anyone how do you plan on replaceing them, everyone is leaving the coutry if there any good, off to scotland the premiership and championship, if the top clubs are selling the best the country has to offer whats going to happen to football here at our door.

    doesnt matter how many players you sell and pre-mid season friendlys you get if you dont do god in the leauge what the hell will you have in three years, when all your players are gone and there are no more friendlys to fill your ground, cause we all know if your strugglin you wont be fillling your ground as often as ye are now.

    we have the same problem down here we get a good player and the manager has such a big ego half our squad is gone, we havent bought anyone not a single person, that is waht will happen if city arent carefull
    Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.

    You're being a bit unrealistic lads if you thin you can demand 500k for an el player, especially if he has one year left on his contract.

    Its easy for other eL clubs to be so flippant as no clubs looking to sign their players as not good enough.

    I think its because UK clubs make thier bids in sterling.

    I does annoy me the way the irish media report foreign transfers in sterling expecting everyone to know the exchange rate.

    100K?For Benno? No way should they accept that. Lennox is still chairman of the club until this "mystery benefactor" comes in and as long as he is he should try to get as high a fee as possible for any player we sell.
    I am confident he will:he already did with Wolves when they offered us paeanuts for Roy O' D.
    Hopefully he will tell Reading to come back with a more realistic offer.

    City should tell them not to come back again unless the offer is X amount ...... and X amount should be £500,000 imo.
