6 figure fee apparently.

Fair enough that's probably too much for St Mirren given we blew so much transfer cash and family stand arse cheek cash on Stubbs and his spectacular incompetence.

Doubt we were ever in to buy Oli Shaw?
A six figure fee to County, and our club cant afford to pay for a drone!
Go figure..

Pocket money for the week more like.

£20, that's a bargain. 😂

Waited for you. Took you a while

I’m sure I read an article last year stating that MacGregor couldn’t maintain funding Ross County to the same level he had been over previous years, as another Gretna scenario was on the horizon. This was just after they were relegated.
Keeping in mind the downturn in the Oil & Gas industry had a big impact on his business.

I tend to the same view. A catastrophe waiting to happen at some point. A vanity project.

The article doesn't seem to be accurate then.

As much as I think it's time to move Mullen and Cooke on, I'd have been pretty pissed off if we'd let Danny leave only to be targeting Oli Shaw.

[Sonny 8,357]

Ross County have just sold 18yo Gallagher to Aberdeen for an undisclosed fee rumoured to be around 6 figures. Possibly just passed that on to Hibs for Shaw.

In the few times I have seen Shaw he looked a handful. Had a great game against us at ER when he made one and scored one in the Hammill 2-2 draw.

[kevo_smfc 1,784]

Oli Shaw is half decent, though I think he would be too high a risk of a signing to part with 6 figures. In total he has only had around a season and a halves worth of first team football at Hibs and that includes championship level.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see a player come in from overseas, with our scouting range we have in place now.

You've been a long time though. Maybe..? It isnt a catastrophe....

It's a vanity project. Why not? He has the money. The problems occur when he wants to move it on, has illness impact on him or financial setbacks. However, I don't see a Gretna.

Don't know much about Oli Shaw but quite happy to miss out on him if it would have been a six figure fee. Imagine the meltdown from folk on here if we spent that on a Hibs reserve.

If he goes on to bag a shedload of goals for Ross County then fair enough but it's a bit of a gamble if they're spending that much.

I would have taken Shaw but not paid a substantial fee for him. A token amount with a sell on clause maybe at best.

Mibbaes Hibs held out for a six figure fee as they need a decent down payment for their attacking midfield target..? Nudge, nudge , wink, Kyle.. lol

[Ayrshire Saints 4,053]

I doubt it was Shaw as Goody went on record on Saturday post match as saying either target would be a considerable upgrade on what we have (hard to argue that about a Hibs reserve).  He did reiterate that these targets were not definite to come off, some work was required.

 

Where is the Cooke going info from ?

Here's hoping so.

Cannot find a Cammy Smith thread - but after his flop at UTD, I hear he is on trial at Dundalk -

Big step up for him, that. Big step up for any Scottish player, tbf.
