I'm not sure we were due anything if he stayed in Scotland, but I don't know if that meant before he turned 16 or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJFCtheTeamForMe Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 1 hour ago, DukDukGoose said: Shame to see a young player leaving so early but at least he went down south. Yeah it is. I can see why it appeals though. Especially if he's the kind of person that moving away down to London excites him. He's been down to visit their facilities as well then returned to Perth to Saints again night and day in terms of setup. That's before you look at the £ he'll potentially get. On the plus side he rejected the Old Firm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogbrush1903 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Fair play to the boy for avoiding Tweedle-Dum and Tweedle-Dee, and the financial rewards at Arsenal would be hard to resist but, from a career growth perspective, I do wonder at the logic of going to the big English clubs. The lad would've been better at Pittodrie where The Dons have a reputation of honing and improving the skills of young players and getting them oven-ready for the continents biggest leagues and competitions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems very precise, and I think Jordan Campbell is pretty spot on with Arsenal stuff, so the figures likely right? 3 minutes ago, Bogbrush1903 said: I do wonder at the logic of going to the big English clubs. The level of coaching and facilities is absolutely light years above anything he'll get in Scotland, even at Celtic or Rangers. Their training ground for the u18s/u23s is about 150 acres large, with 10 pitches of a better standard than any up here, and a massive complex for training indoors. The backroom staff is over 100 people. You're then playing beside some of the best young players in the UK. You get lost if you stick there too long, and I think by 18-19 if you're nowhere near it then you need to leave for regular football. But 3 years there should develop his game massively. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, didn't actually notice it had come from the Athletic so likely spot on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Is he not done physically? Sure I read someone say his legs are gone, and I'm not sure he had a lot else beyond physicality. Wouldn't back myself to have read the remembered that right at all though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenrothes 1884 saint Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 7 hours ago, RandomGuy. said: Yeah it's just a 1 year deal so it'll just be to tick him over until he moves. Seen talk it'll ~£100k we receive for him, so aye it might be worth waiving that if we get a sell on % instead. Surely it’s better to get a guaranteed amount rather than a possibility? He might not move on, might get injured, or might flop completely, as many do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a gamble either way, but I think the upsides to a sell on is a better gamble than £100k and no sell on. I don't know how it all works though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tree house tam Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 No sure how I'd feel about that one. Would obviously give the boy a chance but I've never liked the way he plays the game or his "skillset". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidReid01 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Paterson at right wing back. Kjeltens in defensive midfield. MacPherson in the f**king bin. Make it happen Mr Levein! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJFCtheTeamForMe Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 There is no chance he's joining Saints. He's 29 not 35. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not played right back for about 7 years. Hes a big lump up target man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
