east end jag Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 Daily Record website Website link Partick Thistle youngster Aidan Fitzpatrick is wanted by a number of English clubs including Sheffield Wednesday. The Owls top a list of sides from the English Football League who want to bring the 17-year-old south in the January window after an impressive start to his Jags career. The forward has scored three goals in 12 appearances since making his debut in the summer. He netted on his debut against Albion Rovers just minutes after coming on as a substitute in the Betfred Cup group match. He’s made nine Championship appearances so far for Gary Caldwell’s struggling side and was the first player born after 2000 to play for Thistle. He signed a new deal at Firhill which is due to keep him at the club until 2021. But with English clubs circling, Thistle could be in for a windfall which could help Caldwell bring players in as he looks to turn his side’s seasons around.

AlgarveJag Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 buy and loan back deal might work but this sounds more of a summer thing than January window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weebaw1 Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 Please no. When Caldwell is (inevitably) sacked perhaps he could show us how good he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eljaggo Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 Given Caldwell's record of signings so far, we would be mad to sell Fitzpatrick to allow Caldwell to sign more mediocre journeymen. Besides, Low and the Board promised money to strengthen the squad to get promotion, so we should not have to sell to bring in new players.

p12tfc Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 In true Thistle style we will sell him for peanuts and get a shitey 5% sell on fee. Other clubs stick 15 or 20% sell on fees on young players but not us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brent Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) With our current predicament and likely outcome I don't think we have any option other than sell. Edited January 18, 2019 by David Brent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weebaw1 Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 I want to see young players developed in the Academy playing in a Thistle jersey. Otherwise what’s the point of the Weirs money? We’ve hardly seen anything of Aidan. If he’s any good, he’ll benefit from 2 years in our 1st team, living locally with family and friends around him, then move on if an offer comes in. That’s hardly standing in his way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Spot on Weebaw1. I thought the academy was for growing our next generation players, not selling them before they had reached full potential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is fine, but if his agent has any sort of nouse, there will be a minimum fee where he will be allowed to talk to who he wants. I don't know Aiden, but I doubt that he is a life long supporter, so what would you do in his situation ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know Aiden, but I doubt that he is a life long supporter, so what would you do in his situation ? It's a fair point. There's likely to be a trigger offer set somewhere along the line. It's up to the Club to ensure it's not set ridiculously low. We rarely know the figures involved (tho' Ian McCall used to be more open to disclosures than other managers) so I'm with Weebaw re his sentiments.
