Does the lure of a premiership reserve squad outweigh that of a championship 1st team squad though? And, although I don't usually get into any north/south divide crap, Brighton is far nicer than Hull.

He comes across as an intelligent and well balanced young man, who will make a considered decision based on what is best for his career. I am hoping he is a Liverpool fan whose hero is one Sami Hyppia and what ever happens he had the courtesy to speak before making his choice.

CORK City’s Brian Lenihan is expected to announce his decision on whether to join an English club by tomorrow morning, the club have confirmed.
The 20-year-old midfielder is currently in England where he is holding talks with two English clubs that have had offers accepted by Cork City.
The Irish Post understands that one of those clubs is Brighton & Hove Albion, although when contacted a spokesman for Brighton would not confirm that they were speaking with Lenihan.
Cork City would also not reveal who they had agreed a fee with, however they did tell the Irish Post: “We expect a decision to be reached by tomorrow morning, a move is imminent.”
Other clubs reported to have been interested in signing Lenihan over the summer include Premier League teams Hull City, Manchester United, Arsenal and Aston Villa.

If it was a FIFA decision then there would have been motorway service stations and large brown envelopes involved.

WA last night said we wouldn't spend a lot of money to get a player for the development squad. Does he know something we don't? To be fair he also said we didn't need to be signing 20 year olds because this is the only season that counts (I'm pretty sure he said that, can anyone confirm?) which sounds mighty odd.

If he's as good as they say he is, I doubt Lenihan would be development squad. It's our main chance over Hull as presumably he would be there.
If he fulfils his potential, I'd see him as alternating with Calde/Bruno this year and then being our main right back from next season onwards.
Anyway Aspinall's talking rubbish as we paid for Walton among others. I think we'd be more likely to do that now with the facilities we've got.

Give Warren credit he knows a lot more of what is going on as regards transfers than anybody on here.

Can't see it happening we can't compete on wages and I can't see him starting for us this season, hope to be proved wrong though.

How can you possibly know what anyone on here knows?
