Nah this is pish, tbh, you're literally about 6pts away from being safe. There's no chance all 5 sides below you can get above 30pts.

Maybe the pessimist in me but we’re nine clear of Dundee and still to play them at least twice and have already lost to you guys who have since seemingly strengthened with a couple of potentially useful signings. One win in ten and even that was fortuitous in bizarre circumstances. Genuinely struggling to see where our next won comes from, trajectory was definitely downwards. Bottom spot might be a stretch but that play off place doesn't feel all that remote with 18 games still to play.

Best move for both parties getting business done now. Things could have turned sour very quickly if Watt stayed around.

I won't be massively surprised if Tony goes to Utd and ends up losing form. Strange move but it's all about the $ in the short-term.

I would like someone in given KVV's injury/suspension record, not really convinced KVV and Shields is adequate in that position. Bit surprised on GA's comments

£110k was the fee agreed. Probably hacks supporters of both teams off.

Eta - £75k up front with the remainder based on reaching a set number of goals during the remainder of the season.

Obviously my preferred scenario was never going to happen but that’s piss poor negotiating from us if true.

Is it?

We've got f**k all to bargain with here, other than telling United to bolt, which probably does us little in the way of favours anyway.

I'm somewhere in between, they are after the leagues top scorer, never mind our top scorer which is where we do have something to go back with. We then lose out on the player wanting to get it over the line and trying to avoid upsetting the apple cart in our changing room too much.

An additional 35k based on goals scored for a direct rival seems unlikely and absolutely no benefit to us, that 35k could ultimately cost us 80k in 5 months time however I have no idea how these negotiations work.

I’d say we have quite a lot to bargain with. They want our top goal scorer and arguably most influential player 5 months early, so pay us what we determine to be reasonable and then a wee bit more for our inconvenience. 
Or we tell them to get fucked and we're left with no money and a player on the wage bill for the next 5 months despite him not wanting to be here.
