craig 5,199 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I hope the add-ons include a huge sell-on clause. 2 million is a steal for him but, lets be honest, he has only played half a season and only has one more season left on his contract. We would risk losing him for nothing if we tried to hold onto him and we simply cant do that. This will be one where many will be screaming that it isnt enough - but if a player is adamant about going and has just a year left on the contract and we also are in financial dire straits then there isnt a great deal we could do. Would have been nice to have been able to hold onto him but a big EPL team comes calling and he is bound to want to jump at the chance. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 2M plus another 1M of add ons sounds about right for such a young player with only a year left on his contract. If he'd played a successful half season for Man U he'd probably be worth at least four times as much but the reality is that Scottish football does not have the same pedigree any more. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much as it would irk me to see such a good prospect go for such a small fee, I have to grudgingly agree. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flying Hippo Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 So what now for our defence? Bougie is a virtual certainty to leave and Weir is out of contract so Andy Webster is currently our only centre half If Bougie goes, we need 2 centre halves If Bougie and Weir both go, we need 3 This summer is going to put about 15 years on me, i can tell! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Looks like he's away then and can't say the fee is that bad given his age, contract and how many games he's played for us this year and the fact we're in the spl. If Boogie goes then is it Weir and Webster for next season? I'd hope that any money generated through players leaving is made available to Smith and while our scouting seems to be poor at best, we seem to do ok at picking up centre halves. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inevitable links with Tonel and Danny Shittu are, well, inevitable May actually happen this time 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy steel 0 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I won't be getting upset about losing a player who's had not even half a season in the first team for several millions...sounds alright to me. Next season, Weir and Broadfoot. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next season, Weir and Broadfoot. Broadfoot is offski by all accounts. He's only on �£3000 a week ('only' indeed) and isn't being offered a wage increase, so isn't accepting our offer 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Without wanting to sound petty, i can't bring myself to wish him anything other than a Liam Miller-esque English career Agreed. He can't ask for a better tutor than Weir. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maineflyer 0 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Whats the point in having murray park where we develope our own talent only for them to fcuk off elsewhere???, very dissapointed as he could go down their and be wasted! The point of Murray park id not to develop players for Rangers but to develop player we can sell. Sorry, but it's true. On the whole, I believe players are either with us or fvck them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
