With the transfer window now open in the League of Ireland, is it a good time for players to switch clubs? We often hear managers talk about the ‘right player being available’. They don't just mean a gifted footballer joining their team. They are also referring to a player with the right character that is going to interact in the right way with the players already at the club.
Managers spend more time researching the type of player they are bringing to the club than watching video clips. They are busy on the phone ringing former and current teammates and of course the player’s current manager. Clubs spend so much time doing due diligence, but I'm not sure the same can be said about players when it comes to vetting a potential destination.
