Muz Posted 13 August 2004 Share Posted 13 August 2004 Williams fee closeThe level of compensation Leicester must pay Nottingham Forest for midfielder Gareth Williams will be determined in little over a fortnight. Williams opted to join the Foxes during the summer rather than sign a new deal with Forest, but City must pay compensation because the Scot was too young to move on a Bosman-style free transfer. A transfer tribunal, to be convened in London on Monday 23 August, will decide the fee, with Joe Kinnear looking for between £1.5m and £3m. He said: "Gareth had been at this club since he was 15 and we trained him and paid him his wages until he was 22 - that's probably worth at least £750,000. "Then you look at Tim Cahill who went from Millwall to Everton for £1.5m last month and factor in the fact Gareth's also a full Scottish international." Leicester counterpart Micky Adams said: "We'll have to pay whatever fee the tribunal decides is appropriate. We've made a commitment to Gareth and I've told him that."
