Given some of the eyewatering performances from some of the 'pros' in the team, I'd've loved to see some of the youngsters coming through! At the very least they would be trying their all for the us. We need to get back to identity where we see players coming through not just unknowns fitted into our team. Makes me shudder thinking about the amount of p**s and soft as s**t players we have added in the last few years!
Interesting, if the club were offering a contract purely to get the development fee we needn't have announced it. I'd say we're offering him a deal to stay.
That was my hopeful take on it, but that is mostly because I want him to stay rather than any knowledge I have of teh situationQuote:

Yes it does, but if it was a taken gesture in order to get the dev fee why announce it to the world? It would just be getting peoples hopes up that he might stay.Quote:

We were second for most fouls committed in the league this season. We have been criticised for signing too many young players so your journeymen comment is way off too IMO.Quote:

Not getting my hopes up that he will commit himself to the club and will just wait and see.
Maybe we've guaranteed him some game time if he stays. Won't be getting that at Watford any time soon.
Doesn't this smack a bit of "so you're telling me there's a chance?"
He's gone. We need to offer him something to scrape a few quid out of Watford. That's the end of it.
Surely?
Article i read saying Laidlaw close to completing his move to Watford with a fee around £250,000 agreed.
It's not a bad amount of money imo .
We are due a development fee only, as he’s now out of contract, but was offered a contract, generally these are based on how many years he’s been at the club..Quote:

Scottish football Journalism is lazy, i think this figure was being banneded about, when he was still under contract.😞

Small change for clubs down there. Probably the equivalent to us paying 25k for a young player or less!Quote:

Is that because he’s been at hibs since a very young age.
Based purely on looking at him I’d be stunned if he makes an appearance next year. He’s tiny.Quote:
