ChiThistle Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Smart move. Stability is critical to his development at his age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlsarmy Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Think Liam would be better staying at Firhill for a least one more season and continue his development by at least playing every week . He's only 21 years of age and there's plenty of time to get a better move than Barnsley or Oxford Utd , he should take note of Jack Hendry , Stephen O'donnell and Aaron Taylor Sinclair who are now on the verge of becoming journeyman pros and going between clubs every other year. The valuation of Liam Lindsey is absolutely baffling ,going by the media reports 350 k, doesn't make any sense to me when Billy Gilmour goes to Chelsea for 500k having not played a first team game for Rangers. Liam has started to fulfil part of his potential and could in the future be a Scotland centre half, and has played almost 90 first team games. Whoever agreed the deal at the price and from all accounts people at the club are hiding behind add ons etc if the player is successful and possibly gets a big move in the future. It's a big gamble and hopefully Liam does well if he decides to move down South and we get a cut of future transfer fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 By my rationale (albeit rather homespun) if the Barnsley deal isn't worth considerably more to us then we really wanted to see Liam leave us for the lower league club. Taking in jlsarmy comments but I feel the earlier a decision whether Liam stays or goes is more important than the actual decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaggy Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 I'd love us to keep him, but I'm sure he'll be leaving soon. I hope we get decent money, but I genuinely hope the big man goes on to be a star wherever he goes. He comes across in interviews as a lovely young man, he's come on in leaps and bounds last season and I had the pleasure of chatting with him recently at hospitality. SOD & ATS didn't seem to improve the way way we hoped, so here's hoping LL does. I sincerely hope he becomes a Scotland International in the next few years the same as a certain Alan Hansen when he left us in the 70's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metz Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Concur with most that we should try and maximise the value of Liam but seems the club recognise that his worth is in the £250~350k bracket. Whilst I would be delighted to be proved wrong and only time will tell if that where to be the case I don't understand why there is such a huge expectation on the lad. He did have a good season last year and most of the basic errors were cut out during the season, add to this goals from set pieces and he was rightly a permanent fixture in our team, however he really needs to improve the basic defending skills and become more solid at the back to be international class or more valued down south. If he is confident of his career path he would be wise to stay at the Jags for another year and in the meantime sign an extended contract to protect the Jags investment and reward him in the short term, anything else is frankly a gamble in ny opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elevenone Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Oxford today sign a 21yr 6ft plus centre half from the SPL. Fiacre Kelleher from Celtic on 2yr deal so given this and news that their manager is off to Leicester I think Liam going there is officially over.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) Barnsley's bid accepted. He couldn't have been talking to Barnsley if their bid hadn't been accepted. eta Sorry, GRE. It was reported a day or so ago that we'd accepted Barnsley's bid but I see it's just been confirmed by press release this afternoon.

lithgaejag Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Really sorry to see Liam go, but wish him well at Barnsley. Still want to see him make the national squad soon. Has it actually been confirmed he has left. If so that is a real shame as he was very solid at the back and is a danger at set peices and can chip in quite a few goals aswell. Does anyone know what add ons we have agreed with Barnsley regarding future sell ons and performances? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandy Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 The Club tweeted something about his departure this afternoon, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lithgaejag Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Didn't see anything on twitter and the Beeb posted that article a 3:00 so I doubt he has left. If he is bound to go though it is better him going earlier so we have time to find a replacement in time for pre season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnyjag Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 He has not gone yet but Archie saying on Clyde that it looks imminent, and that he is glad LL waited for a Championship club said he was better than Oxford. AA also said that he would rather he left now in order to give us time to get a replacement in. As I said not away yet but AA all but confirmed he was away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiThistle Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Still disappointed at the fee. They already signed Stevie Mallan from St. Mirren for what appears to be comparable money. And that's on a player untested in the Premiership who wasn't on the team of the year like Liam. I don't know what the performance incentives and sell-on fees are, but looks to be a total fleecing on the surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Col Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Good luck to him if he does go. If he keeps his head, he's got a great career ahead of him. Now who's going to be first to post about Seabourne being an ideal replacement for him................. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonehJags Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 I think the fee that is being quoted falls well short and is an insult. He is far from being the finished article but we should be looking for more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
