buster. 4,808 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Oh dear ... Chelsea told to pay £75million for Romelu Lukaku Ross McCormack poised for £12million Norwich switch You'd wish we had place a sell-on clause with McCormack ... then again, I don't know whether we actually "sold" him. We released him and according to wiki didn't even get a compensation fee (Motherwell would later get one). If true, it would be typical of our management of contracts at that time. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given McCormack has changed clubs multiple times since leaving us it would be highly doubtful that any sell-on clause we had in his contract (no laughing at the back) would have been extinguished with the first move after he left us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyharley 5 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 If we hadn't freed mcormack he would never have amounted to anything. Agreed. Though you'd hope we've changed now and that if someone of McCormacks ability came through we'd be able to nurture them and get a good fee. The boys had a fair few 10 million plus transfers, seems like every summer he moves to a different championship club 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boys had a fair few 10 million plus transfers, seems like every summer he moves to a different championship club What, nurturing him by sending him out on loan? Before 20 years old, he'd have had almost no chance of getting in the team in the last year... Maybe a couple of sub appearances. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,286 Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 McCormack never wanted to play for Rangers. Methinks there was talk at the time of him leaving that he - on occasion - wore a Celtic top beneath his Rangers training gear ... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I think he was just a waster who got a fright when he left and resurrected himself. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,286 Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) A few murmurs on FF that elsewhere we are rumour-linked with Marouane Chamakh, a freebie these days: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marouane-chamakh/profil/spieler/19085 Performance data http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marouane-chamakh/leistungsdaten/spieler/19085 EDIT: Jellybeans confirmed to me we are talking to Chamakh source from within MP.Same agent as Barton who was with McParland at the Burnley game. ... hm.
