Irish abroad transfer rumours

[Razors left peg]

But he's not a 'top' English League striker, but he wouldn't look out of place at an Everton, Blackburn or Newcastle IMO.

Agreed... His work ethic is fantasic and while hes not huge he is excellent in the air.

Rumours today:

Doyle to Villa
Espanyol to make a bid for Finnan

I'm starting to think the Doyle to Villa move is on. He stated today that he didn't know whether he would be still at Reading after the deadline has passed which tells me that someone has been in contact and his agent and the two clubs are probably trying to iron out a last minute deal that suits all parties. Whether they will manage to do so before midnight tonight is another matter but I personally think Coppell should offload him if more than 7 million is being offered.

There's never this much smoke without a bit of fire but we'll see.

Ah Jesus..'lacks pace'...he's not Ronaldo circa 1998, but he's no slouch. His accelleration isn't so good, but he can definetly run. He has good intelligence...all be it he's no Riquelme...

He's easily...EASILY Premier League standard. 6 goals in a team that was struggling with really only Hunt and Shorey(he's overrated) creating with no penos...that is ok.

People forget he spent a large chunk of the season on the right wing too..

Paul McShane is, as Chris Rea once sang............ on the Road to Hull.

Season long loan.

[third policeman]

Walters to Stoke still being touted as a possibility on BBC gossip column. Would be interesting to see how he performs in the Premiership. Looked a quality player at Ipswich last season.

[Lionel Ritchie]

Rob Bayly has been released by Leeds United according to the LUFC website.

John O'Flynn to Barnet. On a free. With all due respect to Cork City, and their current financial problems, that really is disgraceful.

Up to the examiner to accept or reject. With the wage bill badly needing to be cut the whole squad is basically available on a free transfer.

Reading reject 3.5 million pound bid from Everton for Hunt.

Nothing got to do with examiner. He was a free agent (as were all their players) , and went for the wages.

Best of luck to him

I've heard today being described as "miracle day". John O'Flynn and Louis Saha both passing medicals

[tetsujin1979]

Looks like Hunt wanted a move to Everton, but the club blocked him: http://www.football365.com/story/0,1...087679,00.html

[Wexford Delboy]

doyle also wanted to move but no one wanted him

[drummerboy]

Spurs rang Reading on Monday night regarding Doyle. But got no answer!! according to the Daily Mail. Smacks of desperation as they also tried to sign Heskey and Carlton Cole.

[Wexford Delboy]

darren potter has been taken off the transfer list at wolves...hopefully hel start to get a run in the team again

Fagan is with Glen Hoddle's Academy
I think Synott is still with Ipswich, but he was put on the transfer list, and had a trial at York City last season

[Carrigaline]

Christy Fagan and James Simmonds are with the Glenn Hoddle academy.
Andrew Callaghan is playing with the Exeter City reserves.
Michael Synnott is training with Bohemians.
Lorcan Fitzgerald, Paul Cahillane, no idea, seem to have disapeared off the footballing radar.
I've never even heard of Eric Foley or Michael Daly.

Ipswich Town are keen to land Rebublic of Ireland international Darren O'Dea and rescue the 21-year-old from his Celtic nightmare. (The Scottish Daily Express)
