Thistle fans might correct me on this, but I would have described Frans as more of a ball-playing centre-back than a dominating one, albeit he first played with Balatoni and then with Seaborne and Lindsay who were all a bit of both.

Frans wasn't too bad on the ball but was more of a dominant centre half. Certainly never too confident when he tried to take the ball out of defence. (Scored a nice goal up at Victoria Park mind you.  The only other goal I recall was against Yinited up at Tannadice at the end of their relegation season. 

He scored a late equaliser against KFC too in his first season  14/15 but I don't really remember that one.)

Long raking diagonal passes ring a bell...

@jagfox99 I guess my opinion of him is heavily biased to the way he strode forward and scored that goal in Dingwall!

Has that ability certainly but never showed it much beyond that example.

Sounds like we've finally found a replacement for Garry Kenneth.

BBC saying Armstrong fee agreed with S'hampton

nice slice of £7m coming our way

should keep the admin man away till the start of the season

Brilliant move for him, delighted for the lad.

20%?

£7M!?

I wonder how much Southampton would have paid if Armstrong wasn't in the final year of his contract!

Not sure if that Stephen McGowan is actually #ITK but even 10% is a good amount. That pays 14 players on £1K per week for a season (not that we'll have many, if any, earning that much).

Hopefully Souttar is the next one to be sold to England for daft money.

J. Souttar left on a free/end of contract no?

He was sold to Hearts in the January transfer window 2016, reported for around £150K.

He was going to be out of contract at the end of the season and we would have been due a development fee for him.
