Not posted for a while. Just to say how horrifically disappointed I was to read this morning that Sporting Lisbon had signed Ryan Gauld for £3m. I maintain he is the most talented player at his age I have ever seen from a stand and with a €60m buyout Sporting seem to think so too. this kid is destined and I'm absolutely gutted for that money it's not at Everton, I don't even know if we tried. Knowing us probably not. good luck to him tho.

All portugese teams do this, hulk had a 70m one, moutinho 55m for porto, benfica in the past, sporting lisbon have done it with capel etc, they sell for big, personally thought gauld was again, doing well in a poor league, players like max meyer and stuttgart have a 17 year old striker whose name excapes me are both much more talented than gauld and much further ahead in maturity and physically, not by any means trying to argue, I didn't watch him every week but whenever I did he seems quick and all but certainly doesn't suite the premier league, spain or portugal will be good for him

So Hulk 70m, Moutinho 55m and Gauld 60m. So he's rated in the same bracket as them at 17. Not bad. As far as your analysis of Gauld as a player and the Stuttgart 17 year old 'whose name escapes' yet you think you know enough to declare he's much more talented: I disagree with every word. But not by any means trying to argue.

Moving to England was never an option as Gauld himself has declared that he was interested in moving abroad. Not even worth arguing about boys, it was never going to happen. If he did intend to move to the EPL then the majority of teams would have been interested, not just us

Timo werner, that's his name, roberto could give alcaraz a 1 billion buyout clause which rates him in the same bracket as messi of course? No of course not its just making sure if you do sell him, its not cheap, they won't get 60m for gauld, probably not half that, buyout clauses don't represent for a fact how good a player is, its just making sure that players are not cheap and as someone said, its pointless, he himself said he doesn't want to play in the premier league, robertson, souttar and gary mackay i'm always injured steven are other dundee talents we have 'looked at', just hope we get someone soon
