Pat McCourt joined!
McCourt poised for Celtic switch
Derry City winger Pat McCourt is set to snub West Bromwich Albion for a move to Scottish giants Celtic.
City and West Brom have agreed a transfer fee for the 24-year-old but it is believed McCourt prefers to join the SPL champions.
The former Northern Ireland U21 international with be in Glasgow on Thursday for talks with Celtic.
McCourt agreed personal terms with the Baggies last week and the deal is subject to him passing a medical.
Derry have refused to disclose the fee involved but it is believed to be substantially better than West Brom's initial offer, which the club said was derisory.
Kenny had partially blamed the long, drawn out negotiations with West Brom for City's poor form in the Eircom League. It is thought that the Midlands club's initial offer for McCourt was in the region of £50,000.

Why? Surely we have better in our own reserves. There's no point bringing young talent through the ranks and then buying dross in.

Do you know he's dross? I'm willing to give the guy the chance. I'll judge his ability when I see him playing.

No, but I'm willing to bet he ain't fecking great!! 
So you would rather buy someone one who is unlikely to get a game when you have a reserve team who have been waiting for their chance.

We signed Artur Nobody a couple of years ago too.
Reputation doesnt matter, doesnt have to be a well known name but this guy is only above average in a poor league
