The fee will probably be €10 and a box of Mars Bars for the club shop. Then 10 days later Dunfermline will sell him to Celtic for £500,000 because of the Old Firm policy of buying any half-decent player any of the other Scottish clubs have. Waterford will receive a second box of Mars Bars as part of the sell-on clause they wisely inserted in the deal.
How would Don Givens know that Dempsey was any good? He doesn't give a damn about locally based players because the english-based ones are obviously far better, as their astonishing results over in Toulon have proven. For gods sake, what division are Dunfermline in? I know Waterford are in the First but whats the point if the best players are going to leave to go to the likes of Dunfermline or Carlisle or even Doncaster Rovers. And some of these are the players that came back from the scrap-heap in Britain at 17 or whatever, and now they're going back again. Does this league have any future unless the FAI actually begin to give a toss?
