Alan Lee rumoured to be one of Mcghee's targets has joined Ipwich from Cardiff City for £100,000. I doubt we could match it.

Picked up from Cork City I believe for 100k. Cork is having a bit of an exodus from their club after winning the league as a few of their players are not signing new contracts.
I did ask once whether we had a scout in Ireland and was told we had.
Do all scouts work for just one club or will there be some who work for multiple clubs and recomend the players to the best payers?. We always seem late to the party as wasn't it reported that Coppell told us about one he didn't want himself.
Nice

If you read the rumours thread at the top, we are after three players from Cork and one from Shelbourne. Would like to see Jason Byrne in.

he then took a huge drop at the start of this season due to cardiffs financial problems
thats another one we have missed

Ah so the timing was out was it?
Do you think Lee rang up and said, I've got to take a cut at Cardiff now so will you take me cheaper?
Life is very black and white to some posters when in effect there are thousands of shades of grey.

he goes for £100k - less than what we paid for turienzo. and if he takes a wage cut to stay at cardiff then chances are he would of taken a wage cut to come here

that is the trouble though - when you have limited resources that we have, you cant really afford to blow that sort of money on a gamble. who knows though, he may come good yet

i asked before if we had scouts in ireland and was told yes,however wexfords youth team have the national competition several times over the last 6/7 years and also been beaten finalists,kevin doyle being in some of those sides,i dont think we do watch anyone here to often or it is only dublin sides with established players,darryl murphy who played for waterford utd went sunderland for 100'000 would have done a good job for us but we didn't even know about him.

someone who the management team have actually seen play is awfully helpful. as ipswich have just proven, you can get tried and tested strikers at this level for £100k

Anyone, as long as they are proven at this level, or have impressed in a loan/trial (that doesn't include a mediocre performance against Lewes). If they are unproven, than they need to have reason better reason to suggest that they can handle this level other than being "like peter crouch". CKR is an example of this - pace, great skills, young age - good FUTURE prospect. Turienzo is apparently not, although time will tell

Undisclosed six figure fee including appearances and wages, but don't let that stop you perpetuating it.
