Well, that`s an interesting one ! Being linked with an exciting prospect, AND breaking the club record transfer fee ?! But now it`s seemingly out in the open, other clubs will be sniffing, and we`ll have to pay more, both to get him here, and whatever his agents wants in wages. But really good to see some exciting names linked to us. I'd be very concerned if nobody else was in for him, it's up to Simmo to sell the club to him better than anyone else can, once the money's been agreed.

MaGuire had a really good scoring record in Ireland could the guy step up and still score at our level MaGuire hasn't but I do wonder if the bad injury he had has effected his game,some players never get back to where they were after a bad injury.

Afolabi was seen as a coup when Celtic took him from Southampton. He didn’t get a look in at all. Had 3 or 4 very underwhelming loans to lower tier Scottish clubs. Still young so maybe he’s improved but it wouldn’t excite me at all. I’d rather pay billy sharp 200k until June to keep us up

Oxford signed Joe Bennett today. Getting on a bit, but could have given us a bit of pace on the left.

He hasn't played much for the past year mind. Huge gamble considering the wages he'll likely be asking.

There has always been this fantasy within lower league football clubs of unearthing some rough diamond from an Irish club that they can buy for a pittance and sell on for millions.
Bastien Héry in the last five years has won the Irish Premier League AND been in the Premier League Team Of The Year.
The quality of Irish football is questionable, played out on grounds with stands just like Carlisle Rugby Club.

Did we sign Trevor Molloy and/or Darren Kelly and Richie Foran for a transfer fee? Not that it matters now

Kelly cost £100k, plus a massive TV.
Foran £80k.
Not sure we paid anything much for coke fuelled Molloy. Maybe a nominal fee?

Foran definitely not £120k.
Transfer was roughly 140k (Euros), with the exchange rate in 2001 at the time it translated to just north of £80k.

The quality of Irish football is questionable, played out on grounds with stands just like Carlisle Rugby Club. Bastien Henry has not won the Irish Premier league, and also hasn't really played in the top division of Ireland for a while generally been playing the the 2nd division. This lad is extremely good by all accounts , edge of Irish Call up shows they must rate him (I know the talent pool isn't high ) Although must be something about him.
