No surprise to see that being the successful club that we are these days and producing one of the finest young Scottish talents in recent years the sniffing about is well and truly under way....

We could do a lot worse than using some of our cup final income in extending young Ryan's contract for a further two years.

 

We would be unlikely to keep him that long but we would get more for him when he leaves. Ryan is almost certainly destined for big things including being the first player we ever sell for a seven figure sum..

Agreed build on what we have at the moment signing the guys for next season. We know Ryan is going to leave one day I guess it's just how long can we hold onto him and how much will we get. Easily worth 7 figures considering some of the players that have moved on from Scotland recently! Or sell accept a nice 7 figure sum in the summer and have him on a season long loan? Best of both ....

Surprised by the West Brom link. Can't see a player like Christie fitting in well at a Tony Pulis team. "Right Ryan, when you get the ball, hoof it up to Berahino as quick as you can son."

Bump!

I didn't realise Denayer was so  young! But, yes - Christie for me!

Ryan Christie thread number 17.

Haven't seen much of the Hearts pair, but given that he is playing for one of the best teams in a higher league, surely Ryan must have an outstanding chance of getting this. Don't really get the fuss about Denayer, and I know that a lot of my Celtic-supporting work colleagues feel the same. Marley Watkins has handed him his @rse on a plate when we've played Celtic this season. 

Well done Ryan!

In an interview with STV Ryan saying he wants to stay at Inverness and learn his trade despite interest from down south. Old head on young shoulders and very refreshing to hear.

Being born and brought up as a Jambo I have great admiration for both Jamie Walker and Sam Nicholson. I was also at school with Sam's dad.

 

Ryan is a great talent and thoroughly deserves the nomination. However I cant help feeling that the West Central Belt bias will see Denayer win it. I hope I'm wrong though.

"Inverness CT playmaker Ryan Christie is the target of several English Premier League clubs, including Everton and Newcastle United. However, the youngster expressed his desire to remain in his hometown for foreseeable future, and it is believed a fee of around £1 million would be required to persuade the club to part with their highly promising youngster. (The Sun)"

put a nought after the one and we might be interested

Question i have is, should loan players even be allowed to be nominated since they are coming from a higher level of club.

''Question i have is, should loan players even be allowed to be nominated since they are coming from a higher level of club.''

Surely that's a question for the Compliance Officer - he dabbles in many things.

Wasn't impressed with Denayer in the Semi. Our Ryan much much better.

This article suggests that Christie has just picked up the Writers' Young Player of Season

Looks like it! Superb achievement! Cue whinging from Celtic!

Given the BBC had him playing for County earlier this year, I will wait til a more reliable news agency, North Korea maybe, confirm it.

But seriously, well done!

As predicted: this one of several ill-informed comments on the Scotsman article about Ryan winning the award:

 

"Never heard of the lad so good of the hootsman to inform us that he played for Inverness Thistle. I think this is one of those cases where it is definitely a case of the players knowing more than the 'football writers'.

The players voted for Jason Denayer and on all checks and balances - appearances, trophies, international recognition - that would be the correct decision.

It seems that the 'football writers' have gone more with the heart as I suspect very few of them have seem the lad play any more than a handful of games this season...."

Everything through green-tinted specs, you understand!
