He's definitely overrated and doesn't perform to his ability near enough but opposition seem to hate playing him and sh*t a brick often enough - he drew six yellows against Sligo. You'd also notice when he's missing, often we just need him to get the ball out from the back at pace and relieve pressure. The other thing is the message it sends out, that you have to leave to further your career. McCabe is more important though,as is Greene. Will ask about price later but I doubt people know, he was linked with 100k move to dundalk before so 40 is disappointing. Even more so it if costs go Europe. |

This seems a strange one, how long was his contract? A lot of money for a lad when, hopefully, the league is over. I can't say that I have ever seen the fuss about him but I doubt Kenny would be throwing that kind of money at Bray if he was useless. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

Hopefully hands the initiative to Rovers to secure the last European spot for next season. Never saw the fuss in connolly. Just another Sean O'Connor from what I've seen. ------------- beware the ides of march |

I think this is one of those self fulfilling things. Kenny wanted him, the price was too much for the club and now he was landed for a relative bargain. ------------- He is Karl Pilkington in the LOI section and Karl Marx outwith it |

Again, I never said he hadn't! It is all quite simple, what I effectively said was; he must be better than I think if Kenny and Dundalk want him so badly.

In a league where 99.9% of transfers involve no fee, a fiver would count as big bucks. |

By all accounts its over the line. Be interesting to see the length of the contract. Hopefully its 2 and a half years. |

I doubt it, it's the reason we are getting him for 30-40k now instead of the 100k they wanted at the start of the season. He's one of the few assets they have and was contracted next season ------------- YOUR 3 IN A ROW LEAGUE CHAMPIONS |
Posted By: pre Madonna
Date Posted: 02 Jul 2017 at 5:34pm
Well, according to their own press release, they are all essentially free agents from next week, contract lengths being irrelevant. From what I can glean from it, Dundalk have just helped pay Mick Cooke off. Of course it would have meant incredible prescience from your board to have seen it but I am sure they feel duped by O'Connor. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

Like I said, he was an asset that was worth something, you can hang on to him because you know there are clubs willing to pay for him and keep paying his wages. ------------- YOUR 3 IN A ROW LEAGUE CHAMPIONS |
Posted By: pre Madonna
Date Posted: 02 Jul 2017 at 6:00pm
What were they going to pay him with? According to the PFAI, there is only enough to last the week, and that is after selling Connolly. I would imagine that he would be free to talk to clubs in a week or two. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

Possibly, I'm only assuming, but I assume the owner has money, he's just not willing to spend it on the club as he has been told he can't build his apartments. I'm sure he has the money to pay Connollys wage if needed be as he was worth something, hence he is able to get a transfer fee ------------- YOUR 3 IN A ROW LEAGUE CHAMPIONS |
Posted By: pre Madonna
Date Posted: 02 Jul 2017 at 6:16pm
Surely there are others he could get a fee for too, did they not sign a few players on two year deals? ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won. Whatever small role elite clubs still play in the local communities from which they grew is dwarfed now by their position as global brands. |

You can only get a fee if there's clubs willing to pay, then you have to way up the cost of wages you may have to continue to pay vs the fee you will receive. If we didn't pay for him and he became available for free, then there's nothing to say someone else would have tried to sign him.

Absolutely, but from what we know there was only one club interested and I can only assume he was one of Bray's high earners. I am not sure who else would have come in for him, had he suitors outside the league? ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

I don't know, like I said earlier I'm only making an assumption, but if he was available for free then I'm sure others would have been interested. Now I'm sure if we can afford the transfer fee then we could easily outbid anyone else here for wages if you save on the fee. But what's done is done ------------- YOUR 3 IN A ROW LEAGUE CHAMPIONS |

The money is running out cos they're pulling the plug but they could and probably would continue to pay his wages as one of their few sellable assets. He only becomes free when you stop paying his wages. Other clubs have done that in the past.

| Rumours last night of 30k for Sadlier and another 10k if Cork win the league. So 40k then. |
Posted By: RKBarmyArmy
Date Posted: 03 Jul 2017 at 9:59am
How do Sligo fans feel about it? Obviously ye hate the sight of John Caulfield but potentially 40k for a player out of contract in a few months must be a positive? Heard we got just under 300k for Maguire and O'Connor so it wouldnt be a bad way to reinvest from our point of view. Still need a striker though.

| Ah it's a good deal. He's going to be gone in November regardless. To be honest I'm a bit surprised he's leaving. You'd imagine he would get a club in the UK in January if he hung around till his contract ran out. |
