Unless he goes overseas? Also, didn't a recent 'hand out' from the Premier League fix the maximum payment for a young player at about £625k? You still get a fee if a player goes overseas but FIFA decide the amount (if the clubs can't agree) and they tend to set much lower amounts that the tribunals for deals within England. For example we only got £300k when Joe Aribo moved to Rangers as a free agent, whereas we were expected to get £1m+ if he had moved to an English club. I was under the impression that we got nothing for Aribo. |

No, can't do that, need some opportunity to try to blame salmon clothing, no money, incompetence or aliens... |

No, can't do that, need some opportunity to try to blame salmon clothing, no money, incompetence or aliens... I am completely happy with the club offering players a combination of good money and what the club can, reasonably, afford but that line about us continuing to negotiate with the player has to be taken in context. We continued to negotiate with Dobson and Blackett-Taylor right up until they signed for someone else and then fans on this, and another, message board discussed for months, literally, how the club could keep the former that had already signed for another club. It would be outrageously stupid for the club not to continue to try to tie down a player that is one of our best and, almost certainly, going to move for a very big transfer fee at some point. I’m not sure that the club can justify paying Small anything like what he will be able to earn if he has a full season like the last three months of this one. I don’t see any upside, for the player, of agreeing to a longer contract that doesn’t have an ‘escape clause’. No doubt, however, message boards will be full of people saying that they are sure he will, just like those that said that if Dobson refused to go to Hungry, failed to turn up and just signed a new contract with us he could stay. I would love Small to sign a longer contract and I have no issue with admitting I’m wrong if he does, I just don’t expect he will. Just like I was confident that Aribo wasn’t going to stay and that Lyle Taylor was never going to sign a new contract once he’s scored a handful of goals in the Championship. The money that football agents can earn by advising these young, impressionable, men to move club is just too high. |

Everyone from the BBC to the Daily Mail, Scotsman and Rangers' local press said at the time (all reports still online) that we were paid an initial £300k for Aribo. |

We were definitey paid a compensatory fee for Aribo, FIFA/UEFA rules apparently, govening the movement of a developed young player to a different Football Association, ie England to Scotland. |
