Just read on Sky Sports that Derry City's Stephen Dooley is available on a free transfer in January and is attracting interest from Accrington Stanley & Chesterfield (&Partick Thistle). He's apparently a goal-scoring midfielder! :mellow:

that sounds very feasible, just about ticks evey box, especially the "free" bit

Accentuate th Positive, eliminate the negative

Because all players we sign for free are rubbish

Lester
Davies
Roberts
Evatt
etc

I really don't care if we pay for players or not so long as they're good.

Up the Blues

And the 'midfielder' bit, do we sign players in any other positions? 😀

If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

A lack of transfer fee for these four more than made up for by a tasty weekly wage...

It's very rare that I would defend Azul but where does it state (or even imply) that "free transfers" are a bad signing?

Life goes on. Whatever happens.

Its very rare I agree with you, but I do on this instance

My original thought too Phil, but this guy started as a winger, and sounds an excellent prospect; not seen any footage of him, but by all accounts he's a very fit young lad of 23, studied Sports Science in the States, has a great engine, and this season a frequent `man-of-the-match' in the Irish Prem, described as `extremely consistent'. Not trying to presume or pre-guess anybody but he may be viewed as a possible replacement for someone in the January transfer window
