TsuMirren Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Exactly. You get the impression if we signed Messi, there would be some saints fans moaning that he was past it. It'd be nothing but "nail him, hit him there, end him...f**king do him...close him down ya wee poof...shite bag fanny" etc etc, over and over, every single week.

Svard svard Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 150k is pocket change to these clubs 300k plus sell on fee.. Look how Hamilton have done with the players they have sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew87 Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Hamilton only got 500k got James McArthur who had played about 170 games and went to a premier league club. Sell on clause was only 10% but paid off cos McArthur has proven himself down south. Could argue we got a better deal with McGinn with him being out of contract and the sell on clause apparently being 33%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 PDE reporting that the initial bid was rejected and the club wants upwards of £200k plus add ons and a sell on. Seems reasonable enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering Rangers want £6M for Barrie McKay who is 22 with less than 6 months experience in the Premier League then £200K is a steal for Mallan. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/rangers-star-barrie-mckay-6m-9656224 Edited January 20, 2017 by Sonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Monkey Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Presumably they'll be using that money to pay back some of their 2012 creditors. What with them still being the same club 'n aw tha'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think we'd fold quite easily, but am pleasantly surprised. I agree. 50k of an increase to a club playing at that level is very little. I think if we start to look like a team that doesn't desperately need to take a smaller offer, other clubs will take us much more seriously. Sell on clauses are a must for whatever price we sell at in my opinion. We are a very well run club financially and any extra bonus would do wonders for us.

There's a suspicion that we've maybe been seen as a bit of a soft touch in the past, mainly when you look at the deals some other clubs appear to have achieved. I completely agree with the 'no debt, a pound in means a pound out' approach, but if we publicly talk about that too much, I think it's gives the impression of a club eager to take any reasonable offer rather than a club that will drive a hard bargain and look for top dollar for our best young players. I know beggars can't be choosers, and there's a thin line that the club has to walk between being great negotiators and being viewed as having unrealistic demands, but getting a reputation for refusing a couple of initial offers and sticking to our guns is maybe no bad thing.

MenstrieSaint Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Barnsley have a good record of scouting young players , developing them and selling them on , I,m wondering if Barnsleys interest in Mallan may have alerted other clubs to his availability , and Barnsley may want to do business sooner rather than later in case they get gazumpted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Plenty of talk (quite reasonably) about Mallan. I suspect we could be looking at a substantially bigger payday for McAllister, sooner rather than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) At a glance Clubs linked with McAllister include Everton, Watford, Sunderlad, Charlton, Stoke and Leicester. Mostly EPL clubs. I hope he stays at least another season to aid his development but I do not think he has much time left on his contract. Douglas McNeil .. Wouldn't expect Kyle McAllister to move during the transfer window. Lot of clubs monitoring his progress.

Edinbuddie Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 And see the worst part of McAllister potentially going for a very big fee.....? Alex 'it wisnae my fault' Rae and David 'we deserved more time' Farrell will be going on for years about how they gave him his debut .
