    What's that got to do with anything? We bought the playrs we lost for free; we can do it again, as we've shown over and over.

    E50k for three players to other clubs in the eL is good business in one summer, money-wise. As I said, show me a club who's done better.

    Cork City got a few hundred thousand for a 24 year old centre back. They got him for free but they didnt let him go for next to nothing.

    Harry McCue signed Gray the season we got promoted (i think) I think the first time i saw him play he was at left back against rovers in richmond. I remember being very impressed, thinking, this player is real quality, we hadnt seen much of that round utd park for a while, thank god we do now. He moved to centre back and season after season never put a foot wrong. Has a tendancy to not look up before he clears but not worth mentioning. Had a massive part to play in our meteoric rise and wont be forgotten round these parts

    in short...hes great
    we looked from Montrose to Swords, from swords to Montrose and from Montrose to Swords again but already it was impossible to spot UCDs right winger

    None of ye are taking into account that I am going to win the €130,000,000 on Friday nights euro millions and will invest it all wisely in Ramblers.
    With a side bet on Ramblers wining the league at 200/1 I'll have my money back in no time!

    Ramblers to win
    City to be relegated!

    No, no, I'm serious. Pineapple Stu's point was that 50grand for 3 players sold within the eL was good business for UCD. Finnpark mentioned some Cork player, who you identified as Bennett. I was really wondering if he was sold within the eL.

    A player should have a value regardless of what club hes joining or what country hes going. If a 25 year centre back is worth that much then I think two U-21 internations are worth more than that each. Obviously UCD are going down this season and this may help Harps so please keep this policy up!

    PS: If some other teams can sell their best 3 or 4 players for €50,000 please do. It would help us a lot. Many thanks!

    Thats pretty naive in fairness

    Finnpark you know as well as anyone else on here that the price for a player depends on a number of variables - not least the position of the selling club and the position of the buying club
