ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Scott Allan has told talkSPORT he's delighted to have sealed his switch to West Brom after snubbing interest from Celtic and Rangers.talkSPORT revealed in November that the Baggies were leading the chase for the 20-year-old, who had also been eyed by Manchester United earlier in the season.Celtic and Rangers were hoping to convince Allan to stay north of the border but the Scotland Under-21 star has now completed a £300,000 move to the Hawthorns after passing a medical and agreeing personal terms on Monday."I'm really looking forward to it," Allan told talkSPORT. "It is a massive step up in class."I've turned down the chance to play for Celtic and Rangers to play in the best league in the world. It's the best platform to showcase what I can do."

SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 they'll be worried he signs for someone else though, give united and him whatever they want and get him signed, its peanuts to west bromCant see it myself Jim. They might be loaded and daft, but not that loaded and daft.Exactly.Can't see any add on clauses in this deal, because DU wouldn't be owed much anywhere. Nowhere has even reported such stipulations, it will be a straight up fee that won't be higher than 500K.Spot on.

Best of luck to him, well done WBA, they obviously know what they are doing being able to talk him out of going to his boyhood heros and the chance to win trophies. Oh well. Was never a go-er anyway, we dont have a penny, too much deadwood bleeding the club dry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManchestGer 347 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Gutted we couldn't get him and at £300,000 it may be something we'll regret. Best of luck to him though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Negri's Beard 1,423 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Good luck to the lad, for the sake of Scotland, I hope he can get some game time, probably out on loan somewhere. Can be a top player if he wants it enough. And I don't blame him in the slightest for going down south Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I just cannot blame the boy. I agree that it's probably gonna take the guys some time to break through to the first team, if at all but are we really convinced he'd be playing every week up here? Fuck it, if you all get your wish and he fails miserably, he'll probably end up back up here with us. Win win Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we just realised we couldn't compete with WBA. He's a cracking prospect, seem him for the Scotland u21 side a few times. Head and shoulders above everyone. I honestly believe he's a great talentAnd united weren't playing him because Houston is a bawbag who took offence at him not signing a new deal, not cos he couldn't get a game.
