der Berliner 3,263 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Last I checked, we have not signed Fink. And we can obviously sell about 75% of the current squad with a profit (if that is a criteria), so why would we object to three players signed with no sell-on value but bags of experience? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 It also claims that Everton are chasing Barrie McKay. If we are going to lose players of his calibre and sign such as the 30 year old Fink, then we should simply scrap our youth policy, sell Auchenhowie and turn RFC into a rest home for former failed footballers. Seriously, this is the worst news I have heard since we went into admin. Get Barrie on a new contract NOW. I've lost you. Doesn't the fact that a Premiership club are chasing one of our youngsters mean the youth policy is working? You're saying if richer clubs are looking enviously at our youngsters then we're FAILING in that department? You think we should only continue if NO clubs are interested in our youngsters? That's pretty strange logic to me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigy1881 79 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I think he is trying to suggest selling them at the age of 17 is pointless, we are not reaping the benefits of our youth players. Thing is we should be pleased teams are showing interest as long as we don't sell them until we are ready to. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 If we get a decent offer of say a million or over, then we have to take it in our present financial state. Some of that can be reinvested in the youth system. I think a bigger problem is that McKay is only under contract till the end of the season and Everton are looking to pick him up for the out of contract, "training fee". However, at the moment we have to be like any other selling club when a richer fish comes along. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigy1881 79 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Na I don't agree with that especially with the transfer embargo hanging over us. We need to get him signed up and keep him for 3-4 years when the selling on value should be much higher. If we can afford to sign Kevin Kyle etc then I would be hugely disappointed in selling a talent like McKay long before we should be. I would also have to question the vision for the club going forward. Selling your up and coming stars before they have had a chance to develop properly is very short sighted. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 743 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Any promising youngster should be on long term deals to cover a good fee should a big club come sniffing. I think what we rely on more than anything is sell on clauses from sold players moving on from the team we sold them to. McKay wouldnt be in the Everton XI so its in his best interest to develop as a player in the Rangers first team. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need to sell anybody so tell the premiership arseholes to f#^k off. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
