Nugget Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 Wonder if that was one well avoided like Hoban etc or if we will be back in for him again / going to better things. Couldn’t find the original thread on him but it seems he very nearly joined from St Pats in Ireland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was from the time of his proposed transfer which mentions January could be an option; https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/soccer/soccer-news/possible-twist-proposed-transfer-st-30782234 As far as I can make out, his contract ended yesterday (Transfermarkt) ?

Yes, but I'm not sure if he signed an extended contract with St. Pats. Their manager was hopeful on that front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 Rightly or wrongly, I got the feeling Curtis Fleming was the one driving the interest in Adam Murphy and Sam Curtis. No idea if we retain that interest following CF’s departure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just completed a full season with St.Pats . Hope we revisit this potential signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INCRED Posted December 21, 2023 Report Share Posted December 21, 2023 A big coup if we get him now with bigger clubs interested. Depends if he wants a clear pathway to first team football or not. obviously liked what was said and what he saw before the medical scuppered the deal in the summer so you would like to think some assurances and commitments were agreed between both parties For me he is an Alex Scott clone and could become a very valuable asset if he progresses well and stays free of injuries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loosey Boy Posted December 21, 2023 Report Share Posted December 21, 2023 (edited) Hope this happens - would be a good, low risk signing me thinks Edited December 21, 2023 by Loosey Boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go down the compo route (assuming he didn’t extend contract) we are talking €240k, no add-ons, no nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickolas Posted December 21, 2023 Report Share Posted December 21, 2023 But didnt he fail a medical before?? Or was that the dodgy former medical departments fault?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
