He's someone he knows from when King was a youth player at Hearts and was signed to bring on, not as an instant 1st teamer. Smith on the other hand was signed for the 1st team King is 24 years old! If he starts a dozen league games in his United career (regardless of the length of contract awarded) I'll be astonished. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabianKnight Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Wouldn't hold anything against the boy. He's at the very least doubled his wages and got a move down south. Aye I'm sure he could have stayed and developed further and helped the club out more but sometimes youth is short sighted especially is being advised by someone wanting more money than anything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Maybe it’s unreasonable to expect any sort of loyalty these days, but Banks has maybe been badly advised and could well go the way of other ‘prospects’ by moving prematurely. His supposed wage demand when offered a contract and his supposed unwillingness to play suggests he feels he owes nothing to the club. If we have indeed secured a fee well in excess of the statutory one and if we also get something from a sell off then fine. I’d be happy to him fall on his arse if I thought it would send a message to other young players about moving too soon but it seems that’s a lesson that won’t be learned, particularly when there’s a greedy agent in the mix. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock Tamson Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 On Banks. Can't miss what you never had, and couldn't care less if he made it or fell flat on his puss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame agent more than anything but I would have thought that Banks would have taken note of the failure of Scott Allan at WBA and look to get himself more game time up here before moving south. No danger of seeing him anywhere near the Palace first team anytime soon if at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You maybe have more fees to come ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladdin Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Whilst it's frustrating that we didn't get to see the potential that Banks undoubtedly has, we cant really complain if Palace have thrown a bit extra cash our way and a possible slice of any future transfer fee to get him into their developmental set up now.Dont want to see him fail - his wage demands were apparently unreasonable but best of luck to him. Hopefully he turns out to be an excellent player and makes it to the national side as well as netting us a future windfall. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will get better coaching I'm sure and learn from the likes of Zaha , Townsend etc. He thinks thats a better route for him than playing 50-100 games for United before moving on. Bit frustrating as it would have been good to see him develop but its his career and he only gets one go at it and may have never got the chance to move to a premiership team again. We get about 300k plus a possible add on and hey thats more than dundee got for Kane Hemmings at his peak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
