If Sunderland are sniffing I doubt we will get close.

I'm not so sure about that. We would surely offer a better chance of first team football than Sunderland.

True but surely some would just be interested in the higher wages Sunderland would possibly pay him.

Also, Sunderland might be interested, they might have scouted him, but he is 22, and playing in Ireland and Scotland before that, so won't be able to play...(unless they have spare spaces in their 25

One of three we are interested in according to the Irish Times
"Brighton chase Derry City trio
SOCCER : English Championship promotion-chasers Brighton and Hove Albion are set to table a bid for Derry City defender Daniel Lafferty.
Gus Poyet’s ambitious Seagulls are also believed to be interested in Derry’s winger Stephen McLaughlin and striker Paddy McEleney.
Brighton’s scouting team of Adie Cooper and first team coach Charlie Oatway watched former Northern Ireland under-21 international left back Lafferty in Derry’s 1-0 defeat to Shamrock Rovers at Tallaght Stadium on Thursday night.
It’s believed Brighton are prepared to offer an initial fee close to €150,000 for 22-year-old Lafferty, a former Celtic trainee.
They are also keen to take both McLaughlin and McEleney on trial at the end of the Airtricity League season."

The League of Ireland is classed as a summer league as its seasons begin in March and finish in November. The league is currently sponsored by Airtricity and therefore officially known as the Airtricity League.

No, you're right.
I remember Reading buying some irish blokes called Kevin Doyle and Shane Long from Cork for about 300k in total.
Wonder what happened to them.

Seamus Coleman is quite handy no? Came from LOI football.

Oh do shut up. Nobody had held of Calderon before he signed from some noddy Spanish side.
Life would be dull indeed if teams only signed big names from well known clubs. If the fee is reasonable, there's little to be lost and plenty to be gained.

Some joker called Steve Penney from Ballymena never did anything so I heard. Nice to see the voice of reason back.

Quick! Alert Charlie to can the talks immediately! The Complete Tadger says it's not worth trying to get players from clubs like Derry so these players must be a waste of time. Thank goodness we had TCT on the case....

I have to agree, BHA have bought some right shit from dodgy leagues. Anyone remember Peter Ward, £4k and a set of kits, or thereabouts I recall
