Surely if he informed them he would be leaving then it was upto them to release him ? Making him a free agent who could then sign for whoever he wanted ?Quote:

They're enforcing the contract to the letter, but you could argue not in the spirit of the agreement. I think we may well see him at Hibs as things rumble on.Quote:

What difference does it make if he has an offer from Hibs within a few days or if decided to wait until later in the window? He was already a free agent by 31 May, surely? Plus according to the agent, both him and Hibs had already contacted SUFC about their intentions.
I wonder if the PFA will get involved.
So if he signed for a team in England they’d pat him on the back and say goodbye. S****horpe are at it. They were happy to put the clause in when he signed now they’re trying to wriggle out of it.
Don't like to see this kind of thing from S****horpe, you made an agreement and now trying to get out of it on a mere technicality.
Yes this may be in the contract but it's not in their best interest to have a legal battle or a player who doesn't want to be there, just honour the spirit of the deal.
dont claim to be ITK but given that he was one if PHs first choices, we had him in edinburgh in May, agreed personal terms and a 3 year contract, id be surprised if we dont settle at c 5ok or so - theyre skint, been relegated and will want him off wage bill as he wont play for them....save a bit of face for their chairman??Quote:

A Celtic fan in my work says that it looks like Tierney's away to Arsenal. £25 million was what he quoted, but the BBC website it said £19 million, and seemingly Napoli have been sniffing about as well.
I think the best for all would be a small payment to Scunny and he moves to Hibs.Quote:

Not going to happen after they paid the best part of £1,000,000 for him.Quote:

Mcnulty part of a group of players who hasn't travelled to there pre season camp in Spain
I think it was always going to happen like this. Won’t make any difference to us unless Reading drop their asking price or agree to another loan.Quote:

It seems like hibs have wanted him for a while and were building a team based on having him so would be a blow for it not to happen.Quote:

One thing's for sure - SUFC have to get this sorted or they are going to have one very disgruntled player on their books for another year.
Yes. And incoming players will see how they 'honor' their contracts and think twice before signing.Quote:

So comparing their stats is a little unbalanced, and if we play Mallan as that deep lying midfielder who starts things off, then Dylan in my opinion is a much better player in that role.
I'd love him back, but i dont think it will happen.
