And remember a chunk of that will go to whatever youth sides he represented from age age 12 till he signed for us Link to comment

It would be interesting to see how he gets on, and I would hope he would do well, despite the negative press it might result in AFC getting from the gutter Wegia. Just had a look on their forum,a lot would like him above Appleton who is fav.... Link to comment

If we are due £200k. surely the negotiation is saying we'll take less plus a sell on. presumably clubs have not offered £200k (or whatever it is) so far. Link to comment

If whoever he signs for sells him on before his contract runs out then 5% of the fee shared between all clubs he represented from age 12 until that point pro rata. Otherwise if he sees out his contract and it expires before the season he turns 23 in (24 if in Scotland) then the development fee rule/formula continues on But it isn't something we can negotiate. Those rules are set in stone Link to comment

The development fee rule means that every club he has represented from age 12, be they amateur youth or whatever is due their own cut of the development fee. We cannot negotiate down otherwise we'd be doing them out a fee they are legally entitled to Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Can we not negotiate our own deal provided we pass on the minimum compensation to any previous youth clubs etc? Link to comment

BonnieDon Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I dont think the loan signing of Teddy Jenks will signal the end of our pursuit for McGrath. He appears to be the replacement for the soon to be exiting Ferguson. I just wonder if Brighton are in for Ferguson and this is part of the deal. 1 3 Link to comment

RedRichard Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 and Brighton would be a much better option for him than Watford (it would also explain why Hibs are not getting a look in on Jenks) 1 Link to comment
Don_Corleone Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Another week over... still no further transfer activity... How long until pre-season starts? Glass said he wanted everyone in by then Link to comment
RED_JOHN Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Next week is going to be busy. The Devlin deal will be announced by the club (even though every man and their dog know he had signed an extension) alongside another defender (Gurr). 11 Link to comment
