No idea how much we got for him, but just hope they've inserted a big sell-on clause, just in case he turns out decent! 1m ish "upfront" with add ons including a sell on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I think this is a sign of things to come, we're now consistently over the last 10-15 years selling some of our academy graduates or youth we've signed for decent amounts. The ones which will bear the biggest fruits will be H. Souttar and Scot Banks in the near future I think. Sell on clauses on those guys should net pretty tidy sums back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if Banks nets us any kind of sell-on fee, given the trajectory of his career since he left us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston Villa is delighted to announce the signing of Kerr Smith, subject to international clearance. The 17-year-old defender joins Villa’s Academy from Dundee United, having been with the Scottish Premiership club since the age of seven. Smith made his first-team debut for the Terrors last February and has made 12 appearances, also representing Scotland’s Under-19s in November. Academy manager Mark Harrison said: “We are delighted that Kerr has joined us, he is a player we have tracked and monitored for a long time. “He has lots of potential but has already gained some fantastic experiences at first-team level with Dundee United, which is rare for a 17-year-old. “We are really excited to see how he develops and hopefully one day we will see him become a regular in our first team. “I would also like to thank Dundee United for the way they handled our approach and conducted themselves in the negotiations.” The bold bit : Were so absolutely swimming in money we can afford to pluck a bairn from Scotland who may or may not turn out decent for about £1million and probably pay him £5k a week for about 5 years. If not, meh. Its mental. However, good luck to the lad, even for the simple reason that if he gets sold to a big club down there for quadrillions we pocket some serious dosh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone at 20 here has to be playing or out on loan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would any of this head our way? Surely there is NO WAY Rangers will pay £4.2million now for a player they can get for f**k all in the summer? Not even they’re that daft. Anyway, he’d barely even be worth that if he’d signed a new 3 yr contract yesterday. Edited January 14, 2022 by Junior_Arab 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
