Macdonald Fee Agreed

[crossy7]

Southend United have agreed terms with an unnamed League Two side over the sale of Charlie MacDonald.
The striker is now in discussions with the club about personal terms, with a view to completing a permanent switch.
The news comes after United rejected an offer last week from another League Two outfit, Brentford, for the former Ebbsfleet United forward.
Blues have also turned down a £25,000 offer from Blue Square Premier side Cambridge United, having already agreed a higher fee with another side.
MacDonald is one of seven Southend players that are currently on the transfer list at Roots Hall.

Why is that the team you picked in the "Mcdonald going to " sweepstake ???

 

[Flinty]

good shout, what with their ex-Southend contingent and the fact he lives in Kent

Yep but it would really **** off the Ebbsfleet lot. They hate the Gills :D

 

[Shrimper2thecore]

I cant believe we are getting more than 25k for him, fantastic!!

 

[jimmyshrimp]

Did we get him on a free?

yes.com/yes

 

[Nobby Snide]

wouldnt it be ironic if it was Hereford?

nah, its Gillingham

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Bosman signings aren't "free" because the player gets a bigger signing on fee.

I would hazard a guess that the transfer fee we are asking for is roughly the signing on fee we owe(d) him.

My understanding is that normally a signing on fee is spread over the term of the contract, but if a player requests a transfer, he is no longer entitled to it. I imagine the club are just looking to recoup any outlay they have made.

hence why Drooo is so loaded- never asks for a transfer. well, he never got much in the way of goal bonuses.

Isn't he also still under contract? In which case we have to pay out some part of the remainder.

It's be surprising if it was Hereford given they're now in League One ;)

well spotted....look, its my birthday...I'm allowed some mistakes

 

[ldnfatso]

my money is on Daggers!

Good shout - I'd say Dagenham or Gillingham are the two most likely suitors. Daggers will know all about him from their conference days and Gillingham are based in Kent - so nice and local for him - and have a thing about buying crap non-league players....

 

[OldBlueLady]

I'm with those in the Gillingham camp here. Highly likely in my book.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

I reckon Dagenham or Gills

 

[Flaiming Moe]

I'm thinking it will be Gillingham - I think he'll do well there.

Wherever he goes, I wish him all the best.
