Looks like Dean Cornelius is heading to Ross County, with his contract at Harrogate Town not being extended.

He's signed for them.

Further evidence, if any was needed, that leaving us is the first step on the inevitable road to lower-league Scottish football.

Dom Thomas signs for Ayr United. 

Phew.

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Full-back Seddon joins Wimbledon for third spell

Edit - I see it's already being discussed on another thread.

Lennon Miller will be in big trouble in three years time then.

Being transferred is a bit different. I was talking more about the players that choose to move on rather than re-sign, like Hastie, McKinstry, McAlear etc.

Mark Ferrie training with Morton, decent move for him if he gets a contract given he has struggled at Bonnyrigg and the matches he played in Claret & Amber but good luck to him!

Today's BBC Scotland gossip page reporting that Napoli are allegedly  interested in signing Max Johnston from Sturm Graz, I hope we had a decent sell on percentage added when he left us.

Would we have one as he was out of contract? Hopefully yes

It would depend if we managed to achieve a negotiation. Hopefully we did. On the other hand, it could also be that Max Johnston and Sturm Graz told us that they'd sealed a deal and statutory compensation would be paid. They're a big club so would have little to lose by swerving a negotiation and Max Johnston might not have given us a second thought.

Even if he was out of contract and no negotiation agreed, I think Uefa brought in a rule following Bosman that might help us. Up until the season of a player's 23rd Birthday (in the absence of a negotiated agreement) every club that trained a player from ages  12-23 is due a proportionate share of 5% of any future transfer fee. But only if it is a cross country transfer, such as Austria to Italy. That is over and above any compensation due when he first signed for Sturm Graz. MJ is 23 in December 1926 so I think we are covered.

It's a heavy read, but Uefa have a full section on Training and also Solidarity compensation (2 different schemes} which confirms the parent Club is compensated right up to age 23 in the absence of any agreement at the outset. I think. 

Fingers crossed.
