Kane reportedly going on trial with Burnley and 2 other English clubs. Huge potential and would be a huge loss! Would we be due a development fee if he goes?

Everton tried to get him 2 years ago.

If he's good enough to sign for an EPL development side then hopefully we can convince him to stay here a couple of years.
Never had the pleasure of watching him play, is he full of potential?

Huddersfield and Brentford are the other clubs reported to have an interest. Sad state of affairs if we lose one of our top prospects to one of these clubs.

Agreed. Still would be sad to see it happen though. There is not exactly high success rate for players from Scotland that have made such moves and I always like to see players break through into first team before making such a move.

We would be due a transfer fee if he's under contract. Disappointed that we'd let him go on trial, he's our player.

From the lads point of view, you have to wonder who is advising him? Is moving away from home the best thing for him before he has even broken through yet?
He could end up like Adam King. 23 year old and still not made the break through. Maybe having a few quid in the bank is compensation enough for that?

If he wants the smartest car possible before his 20th birthday then this is the move for him. If he's wanting to bed into a club, be introduced to first team football when ready and get a move when the time is right then he'd be sensible to stay put. There will be opportunities in our first team over the coming few years.
Earning a good few quid and getting punted out on loan all the time before being freed to attempt to salvage a career in your mid twenties might be the way he wants to go though.

Huddersfield and Brentford are also thought to be interested in the centre back, who’s contract runs out at the end of the season.
Edinburghlive
signed his first professional contract in jan 2017
i assume the heck is quite happy to let him go, or the player himself is wanting out.. £££Last edited by cabbageandribs1875; 09-04-2019 at 03:46 PM.

We need to be careful, to spend our money wisely and probably only hang onto the youngsters who have the most realistic chances of reaching the first team/ having a sell-on value.
These clubs can afford to stockpile dozens of young players with potential and hoof them out on loan endlessly if they get restless, in the off-chance that they eventually stumble across someone that might be of worth to them
Not good for players, not good for many national sides but good for the richest clubs.
I can see sense in us not thinking a player is good enough for us only to find a significantly bigger and richer club still being prepared to take a punt.Last edited by Smartie; 09-04-2019 at 04:20 PM.

I haven't seen him play so don't know if he's worth keeping if a reasonable offer comes in but most clubs down south usually only go for young players from up here if they have something about them.

Talking about young guys did I hear Sparky say he reckons Sadiki could be the next one to break through!?

the article says were allowing him to go and play in a trial game for burnley. would assume that means were not interested in keeping him? or has he made it clear hes leaving?
