Sky sports lead a thread a couple of hours ago saying 6 lower league teams are looking at shamrock rovers player karl sheppard, since then on rovers rambling (they're version to this) they have stated they know of sheff utd and coventry city scouts coming on thursday to watch him and two other players.

Bare in mind hed only cost around 100,000 at most, surely sisu can't fuck this one up

Name rings a bell, he might have scored in the Europa league come to think of it. 100k may be slightly optimistic, as is the idea of a new signing in general.

Just seen wiki, scoring about 1 in 4 for Galway but 1 in 2 for Shamrock, so seems to know his way around goal. Before people start slating him for only playing in Eire remember where Kean came from!! Young cheap talent, that can hopefully grow with the Club

So this is from the budget thats been available all season for AT to strengthen ,Buy or loan if the right quallity becomes available ,when ACL are now paying the stewards,and Jukes wages ,being paid by someone else are being withdrawn ,flying bacon ,unless the deals done for Juke and here comes his replacement.

Wolves signed Keane when he was 15 and he went to play in their youth academy so a bit different.

forest signed him from Cobh Ramblers at 19, this lad is only 20 i believe. Just knew beacuse he isnt all ready a prem player he would be dismissed.

If we get him beacuse he is free then i am happy.....we aint gonna buy frig all else are we!!

Thorn does need to have a good signing, he hasn't proved anything with murphy and mcdonald, I'd rather he never brought in them two

Yeah but I'd much rather have Murphy in goal than no keeper at all (which it otherwise could have been pre-season :/)

I'd like to think McDonald is being given a good run in the reserve team currently to get him firing on all cylinders so hopefully he can make a difference in the first team - complete waste of a signing (after all the hassle it took to get a new player) for him to just sit on the bench.

To be fair he's come through Everton's academy and been released in 2010 and then went to play in Ireland.

Karl Sheppard

Age 20 (DOB: 19/02/91)

5' 11" tall

Galway Utd: Scored 8 in 35 games
Shamrock Rovers: Scored 9 in 18 games

A tad nervous on this one - smacks of Cody McDonald, Robbie Simpson, Freddie Eastwood, Roy O'Donovan, Gary Deegan et al - all good/very good players in lower leagues but just can't hack it higher up.

I know jury is still out on Cody but the evidence is there with these sort of signings.
