Do you know the club he’s going to, Samsunspor,  Rangers or another?

It’s the Turkish side. Close on £2m I heard. It’s from someone who is usually reliable but you never know. I don’t see anything online about it.

Scot Burns mentioned it in the rancid.

So Watt won't play in the European game then as there's been concrete bids for him. We need another 2 in before that game v HB as we're very light on numbers heading into that game by the looks of things

Girdwood Reich seems to be the kind of signing we should be aiming for. 

As for Watt, I think we should hold out for more than £1.5m. 

For how long ?

I was kinda expecting around £2.5 for Watt , doesn't seem wee are in that ball park area. Mind you no one knows the trigger points and clauses in players contracts.

That said "third" would be a good if not a bit controversial nickname for Reich if he signs.

I doubt he'd like that.

We should be in no rush to sell. Our finances are healthy. The directors promised us we wouldn't sell our best assets at the same time.

Priestman is our replacement for Watt, i assume? So, while I’d rather have kept Watt he is probably one of the easier replaceable players.

Trouble is, once a player is aware of how much more money they can make by moving on, how do we keep them?

Its not always just down to the club. Players agents have all sorts of clauses in their contracts that forces the clubs hand. Look at Shankland.

It will be another undisclosed. 

Usually, but not always, at the behest of the buying club.

Do we really think when we signed these players both them and the club seriously thought there would be possible multi million pound bids for them. I would think probably the oppisite, that's why CLUB has an option for another year on their contracts. All these players came from relative obscurity and smaller teams why would they even think of a triggering bid to leave when signing up .

[FirParkCornerExile]

Because thats what agents are paid for to have "if" for all sorts of scenarios in contracts. Agents arent daft.
