WillenhallSkyBlues · Dec 13, 2011

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

covkid69 · Dec 13, 2011

Sisu could feck up buying a loaf of bread from tesco

smileycov · Dec 13, 2011

Dont know much about him.....any good?

crowsnest · Dec 13, 2011

Out of contract at the end of this month - so available on a free.

DH - Sky Blue · Dec 13, 2011

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.

zigojacko · Dec 13, 2011

I remain dubious if we sign a new striker from Shamrock Rovers - it's hardly going to be the 20+ goals per season we so desperately need.

Found this though if anyone wants to check him out - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9KdvQuRrNI

smileycov · Dec 13, 2011

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

WillenhallSkyBlues · Dec 13, 2011

He's a good striker, they rate him loads at rovers and they wanna keep hold of him, but I think he cba playing part time anymore

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quallity becomes available ,when ACL are now paying the stewards,and Jukes wages ,being paid by someone else are being withdrawn ,flying bacon ,unless the deals done for Juke and here comes his replacement.

Who was the geezer on trial during the summer from Ireland?

Cody looked good on youtube so take this with a pinch of salt.

Playing spurs on Thursday - ITV4

See if our head of football is there!

WillenhallSkyBlues · Dec 13, 2011

Killian brennan, was deemed not good enough for english football by andy thorn, bit harsh in my eyes

Thats the one mate.

Look at players like Shane Long, Doyle etc... decent players who came over on the cheap.

kg82 · Dec 13, 2011

If I remember right Kevin Doyle also came from Ireland (different league I know)

damnit!!!!

Thorn is fantastic at finding new talent. If he picks this lad, I'm sure he will be a success

I hope there’s a hint of sarcasm in that post.

We'll_live_and_die · Dec 13, 2011

Only a little, because he has scouted more hits than misses in my opinion.

Who is Kean?

Robbie Keane? Because he didn't come from Eire, he started his professional career at Wolves. Unless you're talking about a Kean before my time...

Exactly, that was my point when I said I remain dubious. Heh

Yes, we've had a constant stream of amazing talent bought in at Cov!

WillenhallSkyBlues · Dec 13, 2011

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

Probably Roy Keane, he came from Cork didn't he?

Sub · Dec 13, 2011

is this more spin from SISU to distract from the other problems at the club ??:thinking about::thinking about:we all get pissed off about orange ken, bbc do a report on us then all of a sudden news of a new player :thinking about::thinking about::thinking about: sounds like bullshite to me :slap::slap:

ajsccfc · Dec 13, 2011

I'm not sure SISU have too much sway over Sky Sports.

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!!

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.

I think I'd probably prefer having Roy Keane in our starting line up currently than half the useless bunch we've got.

stupot07 · Dec 13, 2011

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

Ahh excellent, that means if we sign him, we might half have a chance of having a striker that can play with Jukebox up front!

juke will be gone in january tho :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

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.
