Did someone say sell-on clause?

Mostly the First Cork Troop I think.
There was a group of Bridginis there as welll - throwing chips and giggling in the corner
3 year deal, thank god.
He's in better form than Doyle was, although Doyle was doing it for a season and a half.
I reckon he'll be gone very soon.
Too good.
He's also similar in manner to Doyle and in how they dealt with the City fans.
Role models.
City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

He's a class act but Mark Quigley is as good if not better than him IMO.
It's a pity we didn't get him, they'd have been some combination this season.
Looking like most prolific striker we have ever had as Pat Morleys club record of 20 league goals in in his sight now. Not seen finishing like it since O'Flynn in his prime. Better finisher than Doyle or O'Donovan although does not have the all round game of Doyle or the pace of O'Donovan. Looks to be working really hard & doesn't have the ego of some other players.
He is on a long term contract & one of the highest earners at the club so nothing less than top Championship club would tempt him. Realistically any bid would need to be 1m+ as he will get better as fitness & strength improve.
Doubt that to be honest. If a good Championship club offered half a mil for him are you saying that Cork would turn it down?
Foot.ie's entire existence is predicated on the average idiot's inability to ignore other idiots
I think they would. Its only cause they do have good business heads behind the scenes and they know mooneys is worth a lot more
"Now jump up there and stuff that son of a bitch in the basket, chief"
If they can get more then yeah, yeah they would turn it down.

Yes I believe they would. We got similar price for O'Donovan who had only 6 months left on his contract. Whatever about our faults in the past recent transfer for City players have broken LOI records.
The fees recently are closer to what the norm should be. Its up to clubs not to bottle it, and club members should hold people accountable if they do bottle it. Selling top players for a packet of magic beans has to stop if the league is ever going to progress.

Half a million Euro is hardly a packet of magic beans and if such an offer is received I can hardly see it being rejected out of hand .
One of the top strikers in League 2 last season moved to a Championship club for £750k (€975k). Mooney looks like he is going to get 20 goals this season in a league that is at least similar standard to League 2. Cork should be looking for at least the same amount.
If we got over half a million last year for a player with 6 months left on his contract, why would we take the same for what appears to be a better player (better finisher anyway) on a 3 year contract? We're not exactly desperate for money, and with the big prize money this year and next any business person could see the "stock" isn't high enough to cash in yet.

I think half a million would(should) be laughed at tbh. We got that much for Roy with a similar scoring record and only six months left. Dave has 2 and a half years left.
I would be disgusted if he went for anything under a million.
Ideally though we'l tell them all to f off and keep him.
Depends how much Cork need the money.
Its a lot easier to hold out for a better offer if you don't need the cash.
Seems an obvious statement but its one all the "analysis" above is missing.....
well...

Saying Cork shouldn't talk to clubs offering less than 2 million only makes sense if there is a real chance that a club is going to offer 2 million.
Regardless of how much Cork fans think he's worth, how much do they realistically expect to be offered for him? Considering the (inaccurate) perception of the eL across the water, and the hit-and-miss success of some of the eL's other star exports, I'd say 2 million is a bit fanciful.
