For a seemingly paltry fee shouldn`t we pay a little extra to get him in.
If he`s anywhere near as good as Seamus Coleman its a win win surely.

Well appears our bid has been accepted anyway. Just depends on whether it's matched by anyone else, if so then up to the player.

Depends who the club is. For an up & coming player, Brighton must be a huge pull. We now have the best facilities in the country, have a recent history of challenging at the right end of the Championship, and young players are getting into the first team regularly. Not many clubs can match that.
Of course, if he just wants to earn some short-term cash then a Premier League team are his likely destination.
It'll come down to money, but there does seem to be an assumption that the Premier League team would actually pay more than we would. Maybe that isn't actually the case.

Sounds like that they are playing us off against each other. Considering how we like things done confidentially, people won't be happy at our end that this is being discussed by their media.

Is that twitter an official Cork City account? A bit weird it's being discussed openly like this.

Depends how we view him? Bruce has openly said he would be a dev squad player, maybe our view on him is somewhat different and more appealing ?
Who are #hcafc referenced in the unofficial tweet?

my irish trainee at work used to play with him.
said he wasn't special but was a centre midfielder back then not a right back.
"this guy a right bk?
"yeah I think so but when I played him he was centre mid and he was all the way up underage for irish teams and that but hes a bit small so I think he got shafted to full back"
on the same note of irish players, had dinner with an irish guy and went on a stag do friday night with Colin Hawkins when we had a game on the saturday and never turned up to the game. Said micky adams was the worst manager hes ever worked under.

He may have been small for his age, at the time, but according to his profile page on the Cork City site, he is 187cm (6'2"?) now.

I presume someone else has raised the geographical advantage Hull also have? It's a lot bloody easier to pop back to Ireland from Hull than it is Brighton. He's no longer a teenager but it may be factor.

Cork-Gatwick flights are a bit of an easier service than driving to Manchester from Hull.
