Looks like he is off to WBA. £2Mill plus add ons - not confirmed as yet.

Baggies mate has picked up on this today ( not old news).

If true that`s what a good model looks like - Falkirk have done well with him

We`re trying to do similar - it`ll take some time though. I have faith.

That’s their pitch paid for then and a couple of decent players. If that comes off that must be the deal of the century for Falkirk.

West Bromwich Albion is close to finalising a seven-figure deal to sign Falkirk striker Barney Stewart.

The bumper deal will also include several future add-ons for the Bairns.

£2M is mental considering he’s still so inexperienced. Hope he does well though. Should be in the Scotland squad soon hopefully. Ahead of Hirst anyway.

That’s the difference of even being in the premier league, look what we got for Nisbet against that Hibs got. WBA wouldn’t have looked at him in the championship and if they did Falkirk would likely get £500k at best

The fact that our highest ever sale is 650,000 still blows my mind. The number of average players Scottish clubs (even `provincial` ones) have sold for more than that is just ridiculous.

I think he`ll go well at WBA too - seems a good lad with a good head on his shoulders. we`ll be seeing him playing for Scotland soon, exactly the profile of striker that Clarke likes.

Barney has the potential BUT could be another EL Bakhtoui! He was brilliant for us and had a massive future but left to go to Dundee before he was ready to hit that level and it completely ruined him! I hope for Barneys sake he has a good agent who will advise him not to run before he can completely walk!

Being in a West Brom supporting family, and the Baggies being my English team, this news makes me happy.

Worse thing for him would be his instinct as a striker being coached out of him.
He thrived up here by just being himself without the traditional upbringing through the youth set ups.
His naivety is part of his charm.

In all seriousness, where would he be without his loan here. Well, he might have got a loan elsewhere and performed equally as well there but chances are he wouldn’t have been playing at the same level.
One thing is for certain, he wasn’t making the Falkirk match day squad and coming to Dunfermline on loan has been the move that has triggered the transformation in his career.

Was just thinking that last night, he might even have been on the end of season "Frees" list!🤔

He has passed the medical and will sign a four-year deal according to the Record.

I think he is a natural goalscorer. They are few and far between.The deal suggests a period of development that he clearly needs to reach top flight level week in week out. If he keeps his head down, works hard and disciplines himself, he will be destined for the top.

Good luck to Barney - he`s the real deal and will soon be in the Scotland squad.
