I hope it's 15% but how anyone would know unless the agent, Aaron or one of the clubs told them I duno! McKinley talked about it at some Q&A a while ago where he mentioned a 6 figure sum but yet to hear a recording so really don't know if he meant it was a fixed, 6 figure amount or whether he expected it to be at least a 6 figure amount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riccarton3 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Hickey's sell on seems to attract anyone with obsessive compulsive disorder. Be glad when he moves.....but not to Brentford. I'd be amazed if he went there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably been done to death before. Were Hearts in a particularly strong bargaining position? I'd say no.

I P Knightley Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 3 hours ago, Doc Rob said: According to the BBC today, Hickey has been linked with an £18m move to… Brentford. OK, we’d still get our slice of the fee. But… Brentford? Really? Brentford's one of my local clubs and there's been a lot of Hickey chat for a few months. It's a well-run set up and there's a bit of a Scottish connection there - not that I feel that that matters to a young man who had the cojones to up sticks to Italy at a young age. I very much doubt that Brentford is the height of Hickey's aspiration but it would be a decent stepping stone if he sees himself at one of Europe's top 8 clubs by the time he's 24. He'd have a spotlight on him without having a sky-high expectation to be winning trophies. It may not come off. If, indeed, Milan have been eyeing him up, this first move by Brentford could well smoke them out. One thing (almost) for sure: if he came over to the Bees, he'd get a lot of game time. Would it be the same if he was at Milan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of seasons there and they punt him for £25 million to one of the big teams, who'll still think they're getting a bargain. Robertson and Tierney have made the EP pathway a bit easier for Scottish players, especially defenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So could it be a six figure sum that varies depending on the next transfer value but has a maximum to which it could be. Surely the point of a sell-on clause is that you agree to a slightly lower fee up-front in return for a slice of a future fee when you think the player will go on to bigger things? Because if so, it wouldn’t make sense to agree to a cap on the amount. You’d tell them to forget it and pay more up-front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CostaJambo Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 If Brentford are the early runners in signing him you can bet your boots his old man will be doing his absolute utmost to make sure he moves to the best club for his development, which will probably mean they will fall out of the running in favour of a more established EPL club. Could see him going to Villa maybe but personally as much as I have followed his time in Italy quite closely I couldn't care less where he goes if we are in for a %age rather than a flat fee.
