Summer 08 Transfer and Rumours Thread

[Rosco]

I'm sorry, he's the next Lubo then

[Jaemi]

Am I missing something here?
We're just off the back of our third title in a row, if we want to bring in someone from Pollock Juniors then so fuck.

[AWESOMEUS MAXIMUS]

Gowzer.

[Watty]

He's the best player in the Eircom by a distance. I'm surprised he's no one has taken a chance on him before now. Although being a Derry lad he didn't really want to leave once he got back there.

I'd assume that a buyer for Riordan has been found and McCourt will take the place Riordan was originally ear marked to fill.

You might want to run this past Rosco the football expert mate, he'll be the judge of who can and who can't sit on our bench!

[Rosco]

Damn straight. Can't help but feel there would be pelters coming the other way if we had just made this signing, meh.

[Zippy]

The guy looks as if he needs a bath and he might never make the first team but I'd rather Strachan was spending £100k on him than the £2.5m on Virgo.
