Transfer rumour thread 19/20

Edit to add - how have Palace got away with this? He’s blatantly been ‘tapped up’ - this move has been engineered for 6 months plus.

I think its less likely these days that a club does tap up a player at his age. More likely the agent only acted in the best interest of his bank balance and touted Scott about. Scott then takes the bait and out comes Billy Big
Baws!

Crystal Palace have agreed a “substantial” transfer fee with Dundee United to sign their talented youngster Scott Banks.

Sources close to the English Premier League club have confirmed that they have thrashed out a six-figure fee to land the Scotland under-19 international.

Palace signed the winger on a pre-contract earlier this month and could have signed him for £200,000 in training compensation in the summer.

Record Sport understands that the deal is far in excess of that and is worth significantly more in future add-ons

I’d get rid now and get the money in. Let’s face it he’s not exactly going to be playing anyway is he?

Ye agree, get rid now......... and enjoy starring for Grimsby Town in 2 or 3 years.

I can’t understand the laddie’s thinking here. He surely only has to look at the likes of Scott Allan, Ali Coote, Harry Soutter, Kieran Freeman and frankly even Ryan Gauld to see how moving too early will phuck things up. Contrast with the likes of Stuart Armstrong and Johnny Russell who served their time and are reaping the benefits. Further, I could understand kids wanting to get the phuck out of Dodge under the previous disastrous regime, but now with the new owners and RN and imminent promotion, things are so positive right now and he would undoubtedly have got his opportunity to establish himself and get a big move in 3-4 years that would have been much more sustainable. I don’t wish him ill, but I’ll be very, very surprised if we hear much more about him in a couple of years - he’s likely just going to disappear into the ‘system’.

Another no name has decides he has made a name for himself having hardly kicked a baw in the first team.

Glad we cashed in though as this should mean that a down payment can now be made on Shanklands goal bonus!

£200K and leaving in the summer according to The Sun. 'Substantially more than £200K' and leaving next week according the Record.

Banks signed a pre-contract with Palace yesterday. £200K compensation due.

They 'won the race' to sign him according to the press. Pretty hard to lose a one team race.

Higher fee than that heard is around £400000+add ons for games played+ any future transfer so good deal
