D'Jaffo Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 We were basically a baw hair away from getting Harvie on a new deal with a release clause but Covid basically fucked that up. Kerr confirms he’s definitely going and we’ll get a bit of money for him. Says probably roughly another 5 signings with 2 or 3 being for the top end of the pitch. Obviously needs a goalkeeper and another central midfielder to partner Murdoch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hursty Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 8 hours ago, ayrunitedfw said: Ayrshire Post has just dropped boys. It was obviously released before the new signings as has no mention of them however mentions the 4 re-signings. Kerr won’t be rushed into signings however has spoken with a number of targets. The squad will be slightly lighter in numbers than normal. He is going to continue playing however isn’t wanting to play as much as before Frustratingly he said a new deal was almost agreed with Danny Harvie before COVID19 and he’s now on his way to MK Dons. Will be strange to see the boo boys boo Reading for the first year while comparing him to Harvie who they booed for the first year before deciding he was good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrunitedfw Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Just watched the Kerr interview and the main points I took from it were - Wants 4 or 5 more players. Not sure whether these will be permanent signings or loans. - Daniel Harvie is offski. - Truing to get Aaron Drinan back. - Ellis Hare-Reid has been offered a new contract however wants to be first choice somewhere. - No mention of Andy Geggan or Grant Gillespie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them might still think he's Harvie on past experience. Can remember a guy abusing Mick Dunlop for an entire game when he wasn't even on the park....... Very tidy day yesterday, interview sounds very positive. Quite excited to see what appears over the next few weeks. Really hope Drinan will be back, he looked better every time I saw him last year, in particular his performance against Inverness stands out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerr confirms he’s definitely going and we’ll get a bit of money for him. He also admits it's irrelevant though and he still wouldn't be here now. The difference I presume is if he'd signed it there would have been a fixed non-negotiable fee to transfer whilst as it stands you'll have to negotiate a compensation package and may potentially have to go to a tribunal if you can't agree one. Presumably Ayr's starting point in negotiations will be whatever the provisionally agreed release value was in the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with the new contract I don’t think he would’ve stayed. However the release clause in his contract would probably be more than what we’ll end up getting for him. Unless of course MK Dons just agree to match what we were going to put in his contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's all agreed and the club are fairly content with what they've got out of it. Although given the amount of talent that was able to walk out the door for nothing I'm not sure what that figure would be (I'm sure FIFA has guidance of around £60,000, I think we would actually prefer to go lower and include a sell on %). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFC 1910 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Let’s face it, we shouldn’t have a player like Harvie for more than a couple of years max.Getting better with each game, stand out in the league, international caps.If we can have them at all, for any length of time, and get some good game time out them, surely as a second tier club in Scotland that’s a positive.The club’s stock is on the rise because of players like Harvie, but also because they can get good moves for themselves off the back of it.Not many lifers with testimonials out there anymore.Excited with the new signings already! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest could he voluntarily include an additional clause in our favour like Rose was reported to have done when he moved to Coventry? Just a thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Russel Martin can bring him on another 20 % then it’ll be the Championship for Danny the following season one way or another . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochwood Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I see the left back at MK Dons has signed a new contract and is the club captain, so i don’t think Harvie is gonna be first choice, mind you the average weekly salary is 3k there so that will probably soften sitting on the bench. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
