Thomson to St Mirren

[bhadeb]

Checked bbc sport - we bought him for undisclosed fee and we have let him go on a free - Good bit of business !!!

 

[Ernest]

He was f***ing useless , another one of Limp Dicks wonder signings too

 

[Zesh Rehman]

complete shit, dont care. seems like hes been with us for years

 

[RM-Taylor]

Don't think it would be a free transfer, probably undisclosed. Don't believe the BBC.

 

[bhadeb]

Agree but if the club had got money then they would want to tell us about it and they aren't saying much are they?

BBC aren't normally wrong

Not really. Would not think it is a good idea to boast about money we have when we might be in the market for new players in the next few weeks.

 

[The Large One]

There is some money involved in the transfer - eventually.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Official BHA site says no fee involved. He came for free and he went for free, although there may be money involved based on future transfers to other clubs (sell on fee presumably), or if he helps St Mirren achieve "future success" whatever that means

Do you think getting a player for an undisclosed fee and selling for free is good business then ?

And by the way i do support Brighton just don't like certain twats that run the show

Steven Thomson [Falkirk - Brighton] Undisclosed

*Steven Thomson [Brighton - St Mirren] Free

Just stating what has been said on BBC SPORT

 

[GDC]

Perhaps there was a sell on clause when we bought him so us not selling him for a fee and instead getting future payments may be in our interests.

Not fit to wear the shirt. You want a central midfielder to have some of the following attributes:

- Close the opposition down, win the ball and protect the back four
- Do the simple things well. Take the ball from your back four and use it intelligently. Always show for the ball
- Be creative, play the front two in with through balls into space/feet
- Break forward, make telling runs, score goals

Thomson did NONE of the above well. He was a huge disappointment from day one and if he eventually ends up costing us a single penny he should hang his head in shame.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

I still believe the fee is undisclosed rather than purely a free transfer as there are clauses in his new contract with St Mirren that could trigger payments to the Albion such as them winning silverware and thus qualifying for Europe. No money has changed hands so Falkirk get nothing from their sell on clause from when he joined us. A free transfer is when a player leaves a club and there is no longer any potential financial connection.

 

[Gritt23]

If he wanted to return North then so be it, but I think it's a shame as I saw glimpses of a good player there. But if he kept seeing the likes of Virgo playing in midfield ahead of you, then you wouldn't be happy would you.

Thanks Thommo and good luck.

 

[grummitts gloves]

I wasn't impressed, says alot about the quality of the SPL and why there are only ever 2 teams who win it!

We payed a nominal fee for him, and then a year later after he has played 40 odd games for us and failed to impress he has gone back to Scotland on a free. I don't think its that much for a f*** up to be honest. Christ, Wilkins spent double what we paid for Thomson on Dixon and he'll go for free as well.

But did Dean sign Dixon or was it Dick ?
