Jmothecat2 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 We are rumoured to be interested in Jack Baldwin and Chris Forrester from Peterborough. Defender and a midfielder apparently. https://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/sport/football/posh/breaking-news-scottish-club-chasing-peterborough-united-pair-lots-of-offers-for-transfer-listed-players-1-8499363 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d31 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 posh confirmed contact has been made but no fees agreed. Dons probably chanced their hand to get them for zero or nominal fee. I'd hazard a guess a high chance we dont follow it up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellAnderson Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 According to his wikipedia, that Chris Forrester chappy has 58 u21 caps for ROI. That's insane. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entitled to 50% of the amount of contract they offered him plus development costs of around £10k per year for each year he has been there maximum. Not a cat in hells chance this equates to anything remotely close to £500k. Hamilton showing their true colours here as they were happy enough to let Docherty join THEM for buttons up front and being drip fed in the coming years.

d31 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 £500k what a load of balls. Dons offer so far is probably £40k or some such and Hamilton are trying to force the issue. i'd be very shocked if final figure is above £120k or something 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon the final offer will be about 220K. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton showing their true colours here as they were happy enough to let Docherty join THEM for buttons up front and being drip fed in the coming years. The "half of the offer" and relationship between development contribution and compensation don't quite work like that. to get a payment of either type the previous club has to have made a new contract offer on no worse terms than the expiring contract with other conditions around refusal etc . let's assume accies did that and the debate is about the size of any payment only. The development contribution (dc from now) is payable so long as the conditions are met and according to a tarrif. the tarrif is, as you say, 10k for years age 16-23 but 5k from 12-16. The clubs don't have to agree this, it is payable. Compensation is a different thing and is to be agreed between the clubs. if they can't agree it goes to tribunal. The new club has to make offers and report these to the spfl. If there is a dispute which goes to tribunal, then 50% of the highest of these offers needs to be paid on account of any decision.if accies offered him a 1m salary and we offer 100k compo, we only pay 50k up front. The tribunal takes into account actual costs incurred, including overheads, as well ad factors like alternative offers, 1st team experince etc. The dc is a backstop for the compensation. The dc is reduced by any compensation. so lets say the dc is 50k, if a tribunal finds accies spent nothing, had no offers and didn't even have him on the bench and awards 40k compensation, accies get 50k. If they take into account nigerian prince costs and barcelona made a 50m offer in january, and award 500k, accies get 500k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illgresi Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Apoparently on Talksport that we're interested in Cauley Woodrow from Fulham. Bit more enthusiastic about that than the Peterborough two. If we sign them fair enough, give them a chance like everyone else, but we need to be aiming higher than 'not good enough for League One'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodhull Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 He's lucky to get out alive tbh. Celebrating against Celtic is no laughing matter. Not that they care of course, let's be clear about that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laid-back Accie Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Hilarious the Dons fans seething at the reports we've asked for 500k. Nevermind the fact it's probably not true as it was the the sun that reported it , but don't we have the right to try and get as much money as we can for one of our players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To an extent, but a bit unfair to ask Aberdeen to pay for you guys getting fooled by a Bank scam. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You assume that we wouldn't ask for as much as we can get, had we not lost money to a scam? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
