Confirmed Signing Jake O'Brien

Im honestly shook.

We are paying "biggish" money for a back up CB, which is not something I expected us to do this window, im not gonna lie.

It almost seems too 'good' to be true. The sceptics amongst us would say the club are confident of getting big money for Jarrad. Is he conveniently injured just as we're bringing in a new centre half?

 

[Tim's tourettes]

He's the kind of Irish centre back we've been crying out for since Richard Dunne left

 

[Goat]

Is he back up or are we going to a back 3? Tarks Branth Obey

Is it time?

And I like Obey, thats his new name.

Dunne > Gough.

…and @Mikey_Fitzgerald will rightly mention Shane Duffy.

Dunne > Gough.

…..Dunne was terrific, Colin Harvey still talks in glowing terms of him. I remember meeting his parents at Bellefield, you wouldn’t want to be behind them in a queue for the roasties.

He had a fine career.

Dunne > Gough.

The bait is on the hook my son. Let's see who you reel in.

God bless.

17 million isn't huge money is it
We got 11 for Godfrey. Could we get 5 /6 for keane and Holgate!

Are people pretending to know about an Irish footballer playing in France?

Realistically, we aint getting zip for either, IMO.

I reckon 1 will go out on loan, which will save us about 2/3m in wages.

Why not going with that formation, the personnel we have suit to that better

 

[BlueStevie35]

Figured Seamus would have played a role

 

[Infernus]

Tarky is injured, manager doesn’t fancy Holgate or Keane, another centre back is needed. Nobody has come anywhere near Everton’s valuation on Branthwaite. I think Everton are still pretty confident on getting huge money for him next summer.

Have to worry that Tarkowski injury rumours might be true
