For context... any player who hasn't signed a pro deal is up for grabs by any English club. Worst is we get a pittence to in compensation.
Only way we keep them is if they are late developers & we get them on a pro deal at 17.
SFA need to grow a set & change the rules.
@testbot1972@JCKM8816@aboutceltic@sachatavolieri With Forest making 3 bids in Jan, they likely see him as a similar mould to Elliot Anderson who'll be gone for north of ยฃ70m in summer. Other clubs will be looking at him.
Had season been 5 games longer & he maintained his end of season form, he'd likely have gone.
@MarkEglinton Don't disagree....
Either that or there is someone (DD) who doesn't want to adapt as that'll cost money....
If rumours to be believed, that's why Dom McKay was quickly ushered out the door.
@TheParkheadF Build around Engels.
Nygren's numbers are fantastic, but defensively he's suspect. Physicially struggles a bit too.
If we can make a quick profit it would be good - however need to replace him quickly.
@MarkEglinton Don't think it's difficult to see. However, internally club has a model which previously has served us well, but we need to modernise it and adapt accordingly.
@testbot1972@JCKM8816@aboutceltic@sachatavolieri Which we knocked back in January.
MOR went for ยฃ25m and he was into his final 2 years of his deal. Also was sold a few days before end of window.
If Engels goes, it's be early/mid July and for ยฃ30m plus.
@TheParkheadF Who are the "Several Other Names"
Only names doing rounds are Keane, MON and soft links to Bellamy. The latter has just said he's staying with Wales.
