[Albion] Haydon Roberts to Massive?

[Springal]

Club reporting he has left for 'undisclosed terms'.

Assume we had an option in his contract then?

Probably we get some compensation as a youth player who we offered a contract to but he declined

Although Bristol City have reported it as a free transfer.

 

[sparkie]

I reckon the "undisclosed terms" are a sell-on percentage.

He was out of contract

 

[ac gull]

says free transfer on Bristol City website

Pearson is ex-massive so almost correct thread title

 

[Thunder Bolt]

He was out of contract

He’s 21 so we would’ve got something for him. Is it 23 the cut off age?

Yes compensation but nothing like a sell on fee

I think the training compensation, which is up to 23, is just if the player goes to a club in a different country.

We’d only get compensation if we’ve offered him a new deal at least as good as the ones he’s currently on. If it couldn’t be agreed it would be set by tribunal.

This is different to training compensation which is paid when a player signs his first contract or moves to a new club. These are set amounts and are paid throughout the career, but only to teams the player was at up to the age of 23.

But did we activate an option ?

I read that no contract was offered, so no compensation due

 

[Springal]

But did we activate an option ?

I think we activated an option last year. Is it possible to have multiple years of options. I don’t know ?

According to the journos in Derby, no contact was offered, there was no fee.....

 

[AstroSloth]

He was out of contract

But he's also an U23 who we likely offered improved terms to and he refused. That likely means we're due some compensation.

So whilst it's a "free" in the sense that they didn't pay a transfer fee, they paid compensation.

The compensation deals often include a sell on fee as part of it.

Seemingly we didn’t offer him a contract

He signed a deal to June 2023 in October 2020.
