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."

Titus Bramble has created the spare

Derry? f*** sake. Why don't we try looking for players at proper football clubs?

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.

Also, if this guy was any good there is no way we'd be looking at him as "left-back cover", as any half-decent left-back would dispose the current holder of that position with ease.

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.

Welcome back.


Nice to see you picking up where you left off..............................

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
