Foreign players

Foreign players

Browne arrived about 4 years before the rest of them having no League of Ireland experience at all. The others were all scouted having had decent seasons in the Irish League, that is the type of player we are discussing.

Horgan was a decent squad player but certainly not a first teamer. He and Boyle were our main signings in a January window where we needed to kick on, their signings yielded no upturn in form and he was eventually sold after very little game time. I’d say he wasn’t a miss, but saying he was a hit is a mistruth

It seems to be the players you're discussing. Everyone else is discussing foreign players.

Great, sorry I’ve interrupted such a vital discussion about those 0 non UK/Ireland based players we’ve signed over the past 7 years.

Plus if you read my post that’s clearly not what I meant, I was making the distinction between the signing of Browne and the signings of Maguire/Boyle/Burke etc.
 
Sold for a million?

O'Connor and Boyle looked like if you want Maguire and Horgan you need to take these 2 as well.

What did Horgan cost us from Dundalk? £100k?

I would be upset if we didn't receive more than that (£100k) from Hibs, especially given that he became an International after joining us.

He was free but i'd have been expecting at least £250k for Horgan.
