It's an Ashley dream buy, though. He'll almost certainly not make a loss on him. McCarthy ended up moving on for £13m and it's widely agreed here that Gauld is a bigger talent.

An Ashley dream buy is no fee, no signing on fee, no agent fee and no wages to be paid that magically returns 15m+ into the his pockets.
