Irish Abroad Transfer Signings and Rumours

**tetsujin1979** · 23/07/2007, 3:48 PM

hmmmm, proves there might be something to Lapira after all.
Let him play for Rangers, we need all the players we can playing at a high level, Rangers are in Europe again this season, and are always there or thereabouts for every cup and title in Scotland.
Alan Maybury was reportedly being tracked by Rangers for a time, and I didn't care then it was Rangers, and I don't care now.

Anybody with Irelands best interests wouldnt give 2 fceks either.

i hope he signs for rangers and does well for them, then plays for ireland in a home game.

Surely the same ignorants who boo every other rangers player would do similarly for Lapira, then the FAI might finally do something about it.

Remember Peter Madsen of Brondby came on for Denmark at lansdowne a few years ago but the announcer called him Peter Lovenkrands, poor ******* was booed for a half hour solid without a clue why.

How about at ibrox if (thats a big if) he ever plays.

I'm sure he'll get a great reception there.

I reserve the right to boo any player I want at any match.... It's the ignorant who take the higher moral stance and place booing in the same bracket as sectarianism, racism and every other -ism that feeds their superiorty complex.

Back to the topic at hand. More power to Lapira.. I hope it works out for him!!

**dr_peepee** · 24/07/2007, 4:43 PM

There's a Buzz around readytogo.net that McShane to Sunderland is back on... I don't generally pay too much attention to the roumers on that site but this one seems to have some credibillity!!

**Supreme feet** · 25/07/2007, 1:43 PM

My head says 'good luck' to Lapira, and fair play for getting a chance at a big club who play in Europe every year.

My heart says that, having seen him pose on Sky Sports in the Rangers kit, I never want to see him play for Ireland again. That might sound tribal, and un-PC, but I don't care. I'm just glad that we have Keane, Doyle, Long, Stokes, Murphy, Keogh and Elliott ahead of him in the pecking order (and if O'Donovan goes to Fulham, he'll be in contention, whether rightly or not), and that we don't need him.

Decent season in the championship and he will be talking about a call up again!

Joe O'Cearuill was in the Luton team last night against Dagenham, and is expected to sign in the next few days: http://www.lutontown.premiumtv.co.uk...079020,00.html
Incidentally, the squad page has him down as Joel Cearuill: http://www.lutontown.premiumtv.co.uk...078487,00.html

**robbie_B** · 26/07/2007, 9:26 AM

Been rumoured that he is training with QPR. We have just sold our best player Lee Cook to Fulham who is a left winger so this rumour might well be accurate although it is the silly season. On the books at Chelsea and we have been getting linked with a number of loan signings from Chelsea.

Amazing bit of business by the Club.

There's about 10 better, younger strikers ahead of him in the pecking order so he can go and sh!te!

Latest on Alan Lee's contract talks at Ipswich: http://www.itfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page...079377,00.html

I noticed as well that Lewis Price has been sold, surely that means Shane Supple is their no1 choice for keeper now?

They signed Neil Alexander from Cardiff about a month ago, who couldn't oust David Forde so I'd be confident he won't oust Supple, who was handed the No. 1 jersey.

keano's come in with a late offer, identical to fulham's, for Roy O'Donovan, wants to catch him in Cork tonight before he flies to london tomorrow. its on the rte website

Oh please let this one come true!

Record saying Jim O'Brien may be offered to Kilmarnock in part of a deal for Naismith.

It would make sense, with Sidwell moving on in the close season, and the central midfield holding role still not filled.

No, i don't think thats accurate. I'm pretty sure this was the stage where Cardiff weren't going to get promoted and Alexander wouldn't sign a new contract so Jones gave Forde a chance.....thats not to say that Supple won't be first choice.
