My take on the situation is that Cambridge loaned Rory to get him up to speed. I can't see us extending the deal, although I really hope I am wrong. Cambridge have a big squad so I am sure they are looking to offload but surely Rory is someone they would keep, now he is fit and firing. Depends, if they do have a big squad then maybe they have to get rid of some? They are doing quite good lately, so they must be happy with what they have. Why would they keep someone they have loaned out, and get rid of someone they decided to keep Shaun Derry said weeks ago his squad is to big and he needs to offload players to sign some of the loanees he has at the club, just maybe he is available |

Maybe he would like to be somewhere he knows he's wanted. |

Firstly I don't think we can sign him permanently unless Cambridge are prepared to write off nearly 200k,because we haven't got that sort of money and secondly would Cambridge either be prepared to sell or loan him to a play off competitor.Although I hear that Harrison is on the not wanted list of Dc so he may be shipped out for whatever we can get to free up some budget £200K on what, surely not a season's wages as he seems to have signed for Cambridge on a free, taking a small transfer fee from us and losing him off the wage bill maybe seen as good business as he's never going to dislodge Corr from the CF role this season, then they could lose him on a free this summer. Gaffney's also updated his twitter picture and using #Gas #UTG which hardly suggests he's thinking about returning to Cambridge next week? |

Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere as i don't really follow the forums but when they signed him in Jan 2015 they publically announced it was an 18 month contract, so he's out of contract in the summer and whatever fee they paid for him could b peed up a wall if they aren't careful. He's also 26 so no compo.
It's Not beyond the realms of possibility to see a decent player offloaded in a transfer window before his contract is up. Stranger things have happened.

I can't find anything on the net which suggests they paid a fee? If they did pay anything then I doubt it's worth wanting to recoup? |

You do wonder why Limerick would let their former player of the year leave for free??

Maybe ask him for his evidence. |

You do wonder why Limerick would let their former player of the year leave for free?? Irish League season finishes in October each year, and player contracts usually end in January. Bit different from the English/Scottish leagues. So for example, Gaffney was 4th top scorer in 2014, and Patrick Hoban was joint top. He joined Oxford on a free transfer at near enough exactly the same time as Gaffney was announced as joining Cambridge: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30097203Funnily enough, Richie Towell was a player we were linked with not too long ago, and he was one of the top scorers this year (contract ending in Jan). |

Maybe ask him for his evidence. At the time of his signing for Cambridge I was on a scouting mission in eire and in one of the papers it was quoted as he signed for Cambridge for a fee reported to be k200 just passing on what I read perhaps it is correct and soccerbase is wrong as it has been on numerous occassions |
