Don't think his contract runs out until the end of next month and we have offered him a new contract so we are entitled to compensation (transfer fee). If we had not offered him a new contract we wouldn't be entitled to anything.

Plus the contract he was offered had to be of greater value (i.e. pay rise / more money ) than his previous contract.

I would like to think so, but have me doubts.

It's a dream come true for Bobby

BOBBY Grant has described his switch from Accrington Stanley to Scunthorpe United as a 'dream come true' as he looks forward to plying his trade in the Championship for the first time.

Grant, 19, was impressive form last season in the famous red of Stanley, netting 18 goals in all competitions, which meant a lot of extra attention for the youngster who had been on the radar of a number of Championship clubs, a list which included the likes of Queens Park Rangers.

The Liverpool born winger come forward will sign a two-year deal with Scunthorpe when his contract runs out at the Crown Ground in June, after snubbing Stanley's offer of a similar length of contract.

Grant told scunthorpe-united.co.uk that he was very happy to have signed for The Irons, and was looking forward to a new challenge in an higher league.

'This is a fresh start for me and hopefully I can perform now for Scunthorpe.' Grant told the club's official website.

'I had a great season at Accrington last year, and I managed to hit a few goals.

'My agent then got in touch and told me that Scunthorpe were interested.

'As soon as I heard that there was only one place I was going, I couldn't turn this move down no matter what.

'I just want to get into the team and perform well at such a high stage and Scunthorpe have given me a chance to play at that level.'

Bit of something to mull over:

"In setting this compensation fee, the PFCC took into account the costs of training and development, the player's age and playing record, the length of time he was registered with his former club, the terms offered by both clubs, the fee paid by the former club in acquiring the player's original registration, the status of the two clubs and the interest shown by other clubs in acquiring the registration of the player."
