I don't think there's a problem with Scottish players moving between English clubs in terms of transfer fee. Ross McCormack is living proof of that. The problem is when they are moving from Scotland to England. I predict that within a season, £200k Stevie Mallan will move from Barnsley to a bigger club for silly money in comparison. Mark my words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm biased (I'm a Thistle fan) but with respect to Oxford I would have thought Liam could have done a bit better than Oxford. He was being linked with Leeds at the turn of the year. Then again, I remember thinking the same thing when Ryan Fraser signed for Bournemouth - and look where they are now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I felt the same when I read that, from the point of view as I hoped he'd be getting in Scotland squads this season. Like Murray Wallace in the same division though, a good season would see him move to the Championship, he's still young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's plenty of Scottish players going to English clubs. My issue is they're going for buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know much about Lindsay but £350k for a u21 year old whose played regular first team football and is a potential future international seems like peanuts so confirms your point.

Agreed. I was disappointed when Fraser moved to Bournemouth but it was clear that Bournemouth were on the up, not so sure about Oxford.

Lion Rampant Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Apparently there's another club in for Lindsay now, not sure who though. Possibly a bigger club that has seen the low fee and is willing to take a punt. Oxfords manager looks like leaving to be assistant at Leicester so that might make Lindsay think twice about going there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best that he keeps getting regular first team football first and foremost. Liverpool were mentioned as being interested but would that guarantee first team football? I don't think so. One shoddy performance and the pressure is on at clubs like that. Besides Burnley will be in the same league as Liverpool and so he'll be playing at the same level with a greater guarantee of more first team football.

Liverpool would have seen him playing in the champions league & Also you'd fancy him to get a game there. Not a terrible move though.

If Milner can hold down the left back spot I'd be pretty confident in Robertson being able to do it. Seems to have a good, level-headed attitude too so I don't think he'd let a big fee go to his head, although admittedly it adds some pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
