Arabnophobia · 15/6/2017 5:49 am

Bookies have Burnley as favourites to sign him now.

Rumours getting silly in a good way but could just be rumours and paper talk.

Robertson has just went on holiday so I doubt anything will be sorted in the next week or so BUT Harry McGuire just left for something like 17m which is mad!! Our percentage from Robbo's move is massive and needs to happen asap!!!!!!

I reckon Hull will sell him for £10-12 million, Be great for us receiving £1 mill + from that deal. Half of that should be going towards the promotion push.

Holidays only slow down photo shoots these days with technology and agents in the mix.
Odds are getting better on scousers now.
He's no a daft wee laddie. I'd reckon he's after playing for the best without worrying about playing it safe on ability or wages.

Spiders to Terrors to Tigers to Scousers I hope.

And now Watford enter the fray.

Rocky Raccoon · 25/6/2017 5:29 pm

Not a great move I personally think, same with Burnley, Newcastle would be a better move if Liverpool didn't come back in for him.

Arabnophobia · 25/6/2017 7:17 pm

Hopefully this caper doesn't go on too long.

We need £'s in sooner than later building for the season.

LEK might be right about decision after his holiday. Hope its Liverpool he goes to. Don't think he has a level to worry about, he should go for the best platform.

Watford? No sure that's his aim but its his old boss I think. Fuck, who ever bids the highest will do me.

Odds slashed on Liverpool to sign Andy Robertson

Sky Bet have priced the Premier League giants at 1/5 to land left-back Robertson

Dinnae. Thompson would hae a heart attack.

TheShed · 07/7/2017 6:04 am

It was a done deal weeks ago, actually months ago. No idea why it hasn't been announced yet tho.

I think he will as well.

Billy_Hainey · 07/7/2017 11:27 am

Got me wunderin if the delay in any confirmed move for Robbo, has meant that we dinna hae the funds ATM to offer more money to players, Fyvie for instance.

If we are needing to get players out of the door before we can offer Quinn a deal then reckon you could be right!

Rumour after rumour on this one but sources would suggest the deal is very close now

bowers · 15/7/2017 7:12 am

£8million being quoted

The 800k will just go towards Cath Thompson,Alistair Borthwick,David Hamilton and Hugh Drummond Duncan and will pay off SOME of the loans they have gave us.

Hardly a cause for celebration in my book.

The day we get to reinvest a transfer fee for a sold player immediately back towards the first team playing squad is the day i will have cause to do so.

Take your point but we don't know for sure Tek, speculation.
Anyway it may be more than a 10% sell-on. I was reading in the 90s Le Fun got 33% of a Colin Hendry sell-on which was £200k at the time.

lifesanocean · 15/7/2017 11:38 am

It was a 15% sell-on but it is not 15% of the full 8 million fee. It is 15% of the fee minus what we have already recieved from Hull which I am guessing must be the whole fee by now. So therefore its more like 15% of just over 5 million. When you take off tax as well we'll be lucky to bank half a million.

I'm just stunned that the fee was so low when you consider what Kyle Walker just went for. Robbo never gave him a sniff at Hampden last month.

Standard inflated value because he's english. "English World Class players" are very different to what most of us would deem to be World class.

Lest we forget Luke Shaw going to Man U for 25mill when andy went to hull.

My reading of our finances is that we'll still make a thumping trading loss of between £250k and £500K so bulk will go to that.

Bit left over for an extra wage or two with any luck.

Trading figures would depend on Cup runs Scaria (and any other ex-player sales).

I am still hopefull (maybe naively) that Gauld or Armstrong may be sold in this window giving us a cut of the fee.
