jamborambo Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 just guessing but maybe the suggested £180k ensures that Walsall have no future sell on clause? If we buy him now with 6 month’s remaining on his contract, they will I would imagine try to negotiate a % sell on fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr ewing Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 6 minutes ago, OTT said: £180k for the lad from Walsall is a bit much tbh. 6 months left, we'd be better signing the pre-contract and offering them 90k or something to get it done now. Anything over £100k seems a bit steep considering he's out of contract. Then again, I'd rather not lose out on a player we want because we're humming and hawing over a relatively small amount of money Sure it can be reduced by add ons for games paid percentage of future transfer money so on and so forth.

HoGwash Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 52 minutes ago, Biffa Bacon said: The contract is a legal agreement signed between parties. A pre contract will have the same legal protection, it will contain a start date in the future, say from 1 July 21 or the like. Details of each contract will vary as to how the outcomes are negotiated. That was my understanding of a pre contract, I just remember a debate on here a wee while ago about whether they were watertight. The main point was that if we can get him on a pre contract, £180k is a huge amount to sign a league 2 player for what is effectively 3.5 months.

DH1986 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) If Robbie wants to play two strikers we actually need to sign three......one this window and another two in the next.

TexasAndy Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 £180K would not seem that big if Boyce and or Naismith got injured. I would also rather have him in now to get bedded in so that he will be well settled by the time next season kicks off. He may also provide a valuable input to this season which is still not over until she sings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martoon Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Loved Takis, oozed class, but can't let a left back discussion pass without Tosh McKinlay being mentioned. I was chuffed to bits when we signed him and he was every ounce the signing I hoped he would be. Still recall the oddity of him playing his last game for Dundee against Hearts at Dens when we all knew he'd be signing on the Monday. 1-1 draw, iirc. On topic, chuffed, too, with Kingsley's new deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grainger was solid, but we've also had Wallace, Eckersley and Hickey since Takis. Slim pickings between Eckersley and Hickey though.

Did he ever! I remember him chopping Richard Gough down when he was doing a goal-line clearance. Got sent off for his trouble. Still won 2-0 though.

Aye, it does seem a tad more than you'd think it would take. Must be one of two things...either that's the amount that Hearts have been quoted, maybe down to them wanting to keep him for a promotion push which, if worked, would earn them more money or Hearts are that desperate to get him that we are willing to pay that amount. Interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ccjambo1874 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 You can see why Andy Irving is potentially challenging the terms offered in fairness if we're chucking £150k allegedly at Walsall for someone we could get in the summer for zip. £150k is the equivalent a well paid 18 month deal on just shy of £2k a week so fair play to him for knowing his worth. Hopefully that gets over the line with Adebayo and Gino and the remainder of the season could be looking at pre contracts if needed for anywhere else at cm or cb.

Those early cross field balls for Robbo were perfection as was his crossing. Didn’t get a cap until he signed for them. Lovely left foot, only hit one free kick that was touched to him versus Dundee Utd and hit the bar from about 40 yards. The goal at ER where Miller let it go and Goram couldnt get to it was brilliant, when we scored all the goals in a 4-1 tanking 😆. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
