That's for his underage years? Does that still apply even though ye released him when he joined us?. That's how we didn't have to pay compensation for him, he was made a free agent. If he goes to England we get zilch, if he stays in Ireland we definitely get some kind of compensation,that was confirmed by the league. How much I don't know but reports range from �25,000 to �60,000.

I think it works the opposite way for us if you know what I mean.

Rumour that Willie Doyle will move from Monaghan to Wexford Youths as he is now the FAI development worker in Wexford.
Also a rumour that Paul Murphy has been released by St Pat's and is moving home to join up with the youths.
Would be two very good signings if confirmed.

Willie might not be able to move as he had the 3 clubs in one year thingy.

Bobby Ryan rumoured to be on the verge of a mave to Pats. Another small wage earner about 5' 5"

Does it not run from July to June? So he has only played for Monaghan since last July.

Maybe, as said not sure of the ins and outs just wondering if it will effect him.

**Bunny Kelly** · 06/01/2008, 2:11 PM

I think you can move once every transfer window, so by the time the new campaign starts it will be considered another year & there should not be any problem within the LOI. The only complications arise from players coming from a traditional winter season when transfer windows occur at different times.

Transfer news in today's Irish Times:

Byrne set to team up again with Fenlon
Emmet Malone Soccer Correspondent

League of Ireland: Jason Byrne is set to complete his return to League of Ireland football today. The striker, whose medical at Bohemians last night threw up a minor hamstring problem, hopes to receive final clearance from club doctors this afternoon, in which case he will sign a three-year deal.

...

Byrne's arrival at Dalymount significantly increases the chances that former Shamrock Rovers and Longford striker Dave Mooney will join Cork City over the coming weeks.

Mooney has been on trial with a number of clubs in Britain since the end of the season here, but he has not received an attractive enough offer. Now, with the prospect of an offer from Bohemians all but gone and Alan Mathews set to be unveiled as Cork's new manager before the end of the week, the young Dubliner is likely to head for Turner's Cross.

The striker is certainly one of Mathews' targets, but George O'Callaghan has also been sounded out about a return to Turner's Cross, as have Jamie Harris and Bobby Ryan.

...

Ryan has been a target for St Patrick's Athletic manager John McDonnell and is expected to join the Inchicore outfit, while Harris may stay on at Dunfermline, having recently regained his place in the team there.

Confirmation of Mathews' appointment will end a difficult period for Cork City, which chose to dispense with Richardson's services despite December's cup final success.

The former Longford boss is set to relocate and take leave of absence from his job with Ulster Bank to devote all of his energy to the challenge at Turner's Cross. He inherits a squad of many talented players and perhaps the league's best midfield.

Finn Harps, meanwhile, have released three members of their promotion-winning squad: David Divin, S�amus Browne and John O'Loughlin.

Manager Paul Hegarty recently signed long-time Derry City striker Gary Beckett, and the club said a number of new arrivals are set to be confirmed in the next fortnight.

According to gypsy web, Pats have had a bid for mansaram turned down

**Danny** · 08/01/2008, 3:16 PM

the Herag says pats trying to bring back richie foran, danny murphy and Georgie....

**Rocky77** · 08/01/2008, 3:22 PM

I'd say Georgie could be back at Turners Cross � Mathews seems keen to snare him. Also, didn't he say during his stand-off with Rico that he had offers from other Irish clubs but was only intertested in playing with City? Talk is cheap though I suppose...

Brian McCarthy our 18 year old centre half offered contracts by both Portsmouth and Aston Villa. He now only needs to decide which one if any or stay here to finish his college degree and try again later on

Without trying to be smart, why would signing Byrne throw Bohs off making an offer to Dave Mooney? I thought they were flush with cash? What will their striking options be like now? Byrne, Fenn, Mansaram, Crowe. Would have thought Mooney would be a good addition.
