Alfie Devine

[harr1984]

Yeh and we are stacked, go prove us wrong lad, I hope he does, but I don't see it either

Yeah good luck to him - Even if he does make it big time, it doesn't mean we were wrong. When a player is sold or released, it's often assumed the club are saying 'We don't want you' but that's not necessarily the case.

It can be an acceptance that the club can't offer the pathway that is the best for the player ie Vuskovic and best for both club and player to find somewhere he will play every week. And if we didn't release the player they wouldn't go on to be the player they become. Doesn't mean the player is not rated, although there obviously are cases where this is the case too....

Interesting - if the rumours are true - that he chose PNE rather than Celtic???

Maybe he felt a connection to PNE, i wouldn’t be surprised if Moore choses Rangers over Dortmund for the same reason.

No PL club has come in for Devine at I believe a £6 mil price tag , usually a good guide of what a players level is but like good wine he could improve with age.

The championship is a much higher standard. The wages might not be as much, but career wise its a much better platform to return to the EPL

Have to trust that the club have got it right , seems de Zerbi would have some say in the matter and we have let Devine at 21 go but by all accounts are chasing a 20 year old at Bournemouth for big money, have to trust the ones making the desicions.

Half of Europe is interested in Kroupi.... PNE and possibly Celtic were after Devine...
One would go for 80 million; the other for less than tenth of that...

...speaks volumes, no?

20% sell-on clause apparently.
Good decision.

If he went to Celtic it would be like Sydney devine.

Good decision.

And a £15M buy back option apparently.

From Preston North End's announcement:

‘I would also like to thank Tottenham Hotspur for the way in which they have handled this transfer. It has been a pleasure working with everyone connected with Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.”

How refreshingly things have changed ar THFC in the last 6 months.
