Whoever signs him, won't they have to get the dreaded 'International' clearance for him to play?

Would have thought so, yes. Hopefully- again, if it's us- the Irish will be a little more efficient at getting paperwork completed than the Welsh seem to be.
Two clubs agreeing a fee to transfer a player is a world away from having officially signed. Remember that Stephen Ward chap?

Here's confirmation of that Cork City team sheet ...

Well yes. That's why I qualified it with an "assuming it is indeed us", as opposed to a Burnley, say.
My point being that, whoever he's lined up for talks with, this is his big move (in his career so far) so he'll not want to risk injuring himself before he's even put pen to paper.
Cork probably wouldn't want to lose out on their two hundred thousand Euros either.

Be great if we do manage to sign this lad because to me it's just as important to be investing in our next generation of players as it is to be signing players for this years team.

Call me old fashioned but at 20yrs old he should be a 1st teamer and not DS especially if the reported fee is paid

There's some familiar names in the Cork line up, Buckley Murray McNulty & O'Sullivan.

Another Buckley and a couple of Byrnes on the pitch too.
He's going to sign for Hull, isn't he?

Not overly excited until I see him play. When we signed Maximenko he had been in contact/scouted by Arsenal and a few other big clubs. There was an air of excitement and we thought we had a star on our hands. Almost 2 years on and he's done the grand total of sweet **** all.

Hopefully not but it's not easy going up against big spending premier league clubs, Guess it all depends on whether the lad goes for the money and premier league status or a more realistic route to first team football and a chance to progress.
Think we spent similar if not a bit more on Walton

I know it doesn't necessarily prove anything but it appears that one of his Twitter mates is a certain Pardew- head butting Irishman called David Meyler- currently plying his trade at ...Hull

Yes, but he was at an English club. There's a massive difference in transfer fees when it involves an Irish club, simply because the league isn't very highly rated.

Meyler is ex-Cork City, makes sense.

Must have missed something have Hull also had a bid accepted?
