Looks like we have a written agreement
...http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16047293.stm

 

With the club but not the player

 

true but with the good auld oirish connection we are in wid a shoit

 

Should be formalities - but if the kid has an agent!?! I'll bet there are agents pursuing him like a pack of hounds.

 

agents are the reason for most of the problems between players and clubs i don't often agree with Ken Bates but he'd have them all rounded up and exiled to a little island in the Outer Hebrides if he had his way

 

Seen a few of his goals he's good with both feet and good in the air so all in all seems a decent prospect.

 

He's one for the future if all turns out ok, I'd then expect him to go straight into our reserves! Here's hopping aye, and Dai he didn't cost millions.............

Jeez dragon your not clever enough to catch me out boy ........i have only said that i hope we get this lad as he will be cheapish.........apart from getting yourself a book on football knowledge you might as well get one titled.."How to improve your memory ".....

 

Seems like Everton might be dipping their feet in the water.

According to The Swans web site everything going OK at present. There Chairman said some nice words about how we have conducted ourselves especially HJ.

Cliftonville chairman, Gerard Lawlor, added: "It's with a heavy heart that we have decided to accept Swansea's bid. But we can't stand in Rory's way.

"It's a good deal for the club and for the player and I would personally like to place on record my sincere thanks to Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins for the respect he has shown our club throughout this process.

 

yes it looks as if everton have also had their bid accepted and now it will be down to the player himself as the team have given permission to both clubs to talk to the player within the next 24 hrs.....so its touch and go at the moment....

 

Everton is closer to N Ireland than Swansea.............

 

5 more teams have thrown their bids in the hat but as yet i cant find out if they have been accepted or not...Its getting interesting.....i hope he chooses us but he holds all the cards so good luck to him....

 

We should be able to match Everton!...............

wages is where everton can have the upper hand dragon...... they know our maximum of £25k and there is no way we would offer the lad that as he is a part time player at the moment and would never be fit enough or skillful enough for the premiership yet, he would be for next season if he can make the grade which i think he will given time but we wont be putting the lad on top wages in the mean time..

 

No bid from everton yet apparently. Chief scout was at the last game, but they made no bid. Swans bid is the only one accepted at the moment.

 

Fair play, you know an awful lot about this players abilities from what you've seen on youtube like the rest of us lol... On a serious note though, what makes you think he will make the grade?

 

Rory needs built up but make no mistake, he is the real deal. I hope he goes to you guys and Brendan btw

 

If he does come to us, what are the odds on him being loaned back to you for the rest of the season. He seems to be bang on form for you boys, and you`ve got to catch Linfield.

 

I am sure he is mate and I really hope we sign him too considering the good press.... And I appreciate you can comment on first hand experience seeing him play on a regular basis... my point was to Dai, as you can't really judge someone by a youtube vid...
