Barry Robson

[Kingsmills]

I believe that ICT stand to get 10% of the difference between what United paid for him and what they may sell him for.

[Scotty]

that would be around 120K then - which would be good news  :003:

[SMEE]

Looking increasingly unlikely we would be able to put any such sum of money to use this transfer window tho

[Kingsmills]

It would just about compensate, in financial terms at least, for our early cup exit.

Given DUFC prompt  :tic01: payments in the past we'll be lucky to have the money by the Summer  :023:

.....of 2016!!!  :015:

[SMEE]

Nottingham Jungle have come in with a 7 figure sum for Robson and is expected will be given permission to start negotiations tomo. Thing is..........is Nottingham a step up? I wouldnt say so! Think Burnley would be a better option should they come back with a better offer

[kencar]

Let's hope this triggers a wee bidding war - all the more cash for us  :022:

[Kingsmills]

Looks promising for a modest windfall.

[kencar]

Celtic have been given permission to talk to him

[caley100]

In other words he has signed for Celtic, just what salary and signing on fee, and of course how much we get!!!! :022:

[L_G]

Deal done.  :001:  On the down side Utd also got the young lad O'Brien on loan until the end of the season.  We had an eye on him, so that's the down side of the deal

[TSTtiger]

1.5 million according to sky.        cha ching

Fantastic for us if that figure is true.

Makes up for no cup run I suppose. If we can make the top six, we could be in profit again this season  :024:

[kencar]

BBC saying the fee was around ?1million. Still a 6 figure sum is major a bonus. Could be a major spanner in the works for United as well  :021:

[TSTtiger]

wee chic young saying on the radio just now its 1.25 million so looks like mid way between the sky and bbc figures quoted. decent sum heading up the a9 anyway

[Yngwie]

Aye, on the back of a snail.

[RiG]

Aye, on the back of a snail.

Who is asthmatic and carrying some heavy shopping.

Should really be an ant.

[kencar]

They said on Radio Scotland last night that Celtic had paid a large chunk of the transfee fee upfront so there should be no reason for our payment to be delayed - well in theory  :023:

[Yngwie]

This gets me thinking, is there actually a way in which clubs with sell-on clauses can be sure that they get exactly what they are entitled to?

I mean, what is to stop Eddie Thompson telling us that as usual the media got it all wrong and it was actually a free transfer?

OK that's a bit extreme, but to be sure that everything is in order you would think that a club in our position would be entitled to have sight of the transfer documentation.

[Kingsmills]

The original transfer contract will have a clause obliging the new club to disclose any relevant documentation in relation to any subsequent transfer on the understanding that the respect any commercial confidentiality involved.

you would hope they would anyway!

[ictchris]

Not a bad start for him - goal with his first touch as a celtic player!

[Kingsmills]

He's certainly come on a bit since we had to farm him out to Forfar to get a bit of first team experience.
