Surely Harpal Singh wins this no problem?

I agree. Played about 20 minutes of football all season. Was just back from injury and got injured again.

Ten grand? For what?

**Gaillimh Al** · 08/10/2007, 8:07 PM

To buy out the remainder of his contract after he got injured I guess. Same as Armstrong.

where was that figure pulled out of ?

**Patrick Dunne** · 08/10/2007, 9:07 PM

A very conservative guesstimate would involve buying out a E500 per week
six month contract = E12,000. He would not have been offered the full amount, or anything near it. E5,000 max.

The above is mere speculation.

Easy money for MYM all the same. However GUFC also saved a substantial sum.

Edit : United have two strikers who have made 34 appearances in the Premier Division between them this season and
have failed to score a single goal. Is this a record ?

Another one the UCD posse warned you about!

Paul Murphy's a curious nomination, incidentally. Since signing in the last transfer window, he's only played 26 minutes, but scored and generally looked lively. Does that count? He'd be a good player if Pat's hadn't let him get three stone overweight.

He was four stone overweight when we signed him...

possibly mere speculation ..... but from a Very good source!

the player signed a contract and is due the money he signed for, regardless if he is injured, suspended...etc. his contract was paid up, perhaps not in full but not far off, and he went about his merry business.
