Animal is a Ram Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Derby County have completed the signing of promising attacking talent Kyle McAllister from Scottish side St Mirren. The 18-year-old winger has joined Derby on a three-and-a-half-year deal after an undisclosed fee was agreed for his services. He completed a successful medical earlier this week before putting pen-to-paper with the Rams today. McAllister made his professional debut at the age of 17 in February 2016 and, in total, made 18 first-team appearances for the Buddies. He scored his first career goal in their Scottish Cup win at home to Spartans back in November and has also represented Scotland at youth international level. As a result, his performances caught the eye of clubs both north and south of the border – but Derby have moved quickly to land his services until the summer of 2020. Manager Steve McClaren says McAllister is ‘one for the future’ and is pleased to see the Rams secure his signature. He said: “Kyle is a young talent from Scotland that we have identified through our scouting team. “He is one for the future, most definitely. “He turned 18 last week, so now we have him on board we will look to develop him.” Derby are now awaiting international clearance from the relevant footballing authorities, due to the fact that the player has been playing outside of English football.

rammieib Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Undisclosed? Why is everything always undisclosed? I think we can only do business with Privately Owned Companies as anything publicly listed you're pretty much required to reveal the transfer price. Welcome to Derby Kyle. Lets hope you get some opportunities before the season is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I'll get excited if we do because it will probably mean he is very talented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I hear, he's a type of player we don't have and the FA Cups a good place to chuck youngsters in on the bench, whoever you're playing. Depends on how polished he is. Vernam was on the bench for WBA, for example. I agree though in that I doubt we'll see him often amongst the first teamers in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah fair enough, I didn't think that was necessary from Scotland. Is that because he's coming from a different FA? I expect *a* youngster to be on the bench, regardless. It's our M.O.

I'd usually agree with you but I feel like tonight's a little bit of an exception because it's that rare type of tie that we aren't massively favored or massive underdogs either. We have a realistic shot at winning but we need to be at full strength and it's probably the wrong game to think about getting him game time (unless he's fantastic of course haha).

It's just usually our M.O. to put youngsters in the squad for the FA Cup. In my personal opinion, in games like this, youngsters are more likely to make an impact off the bench than first teamers who've been dropped/rested or players on the fringes.

Slap an Elsnik in for me, I'd back him to do something unexpected and special in a one-off 15 minute spell at the end of the game over one of our first team reserves.

MackworthRamIsGod Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 A bit like Calero (who won us a league cup tie), Elsnik won us a penalty shoot out after looking good when he came on and hasn't been seen since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
