Record reporting it that way but saying we are paying it now

Not quite the deal that it first appeared to be

Still decent for the club to get £200k.

The development fee would have been £70k. 

Presumably save a bit on wages with Ross recalled. 

I'd have preferred him to stay until the end of the season, but i'm not crying my eyes out.

Theres no way the development fee would be that low unless the formula has been completely reworked. We paid about twice that for Ferguson and he was at Hamilton for a far shorter time than Wright has been with Aberdeen.

We had to give them compensation, which can be higher than the development fee. There is no formula for compensation but it does have to take some specified factors into account. Development fee between premier clubs is £5,000 a year from 11-14 and £10,000 a year from 15-19.

I think we could have got more than £200k at a tribunal, but who knows. 

Also £200k is "Daily Record understands" which could be shite.

I find it amusing that it's taken a global pandemic for us to have a good January transfer window. 

If all goes ahead, I'll be very happy. 

Have we signed anyone yet? 

We have signed/loaned some decent players during the January transfer window but most deals are done in the summer. 

2014 - Rooney, Logan
2015 - McLean
2016 - Church
2017 - Christie
2018 - Cosgrove
2019 - N/A
2020 - McGeouch, Kennedy

hendry is an upgrade on Main, if he goes

hornby should be an upgrade on Cosgrove, at least in terms of effort and energy

Kamberi would be a decent replacement for Watkins

Anderson to Accies would be the end of him here. Shame, and I wish him the best, but there are shades of Cammy Smith about him. 

 

If they all come in. Knowing us, it will be just hendry, with both Main and Anderson leaving, and well be screwed.
