mattman Posted July 22, 2021 Report Posted July 22, 2021 McCarthy 200k are they aff their nut? If that’s what we’re valuing our key players then we’d be better off just chucking it the noo! Quote

The way it’s been worded “up for grabs for 200k” makes it seem that way, also grieve is pretty much spot on with st mirren related stuff. I’d hope the club aren’t that daft, IMO I think he’ll go further than McGrath in his career. Edited July 22, 2021 by mattman Quote

I would say they're probably quite close to what we would accept. Both out of contract next year , McCarthy IMO unlikely to be a starter in every game. If we could get to a million for the pair I would go with that ! Quote
DumboBud Posted July 22, 2021 Report Posted July 22, 2021 Tbh I think McCarthy is the better player. Quote

Won't be surprised if a team comes in for both . I think we have to let players go if the right bid comes as that encourages others to sign , knowing that they won't be held back if a decent bid comes. Must be others in Ireland keeping an eye on Mccarthy and McGrath,s progress thinking they might fancy a spell at Saints . Quote
norrie82 Posted July 22, 2021 Report Posted July 22, 2021 200k so much for our vice chairman saying the days of losing players on the cheap are gone. What a joke 200k - you wouldn’t get a decent centre half for 200k anywhere else. Quote

Surely its just a ball park figure plucked from a guestimation. Quote

There is no direct quote from anyone connected to the club and if there was i wouldnt expect them A. to use a phrase such as up for grabs B. Make it public knowledge as we then maximise what we can get as no one would go beyond that. Quote

Doakes Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 If Robert Grieve has quoted the figure of 200k, that figure has came from someone at the club. Perhaps McCarthy has asked the club to consider offers? Quote

Quote Goodwin stressed that St Mirren's valuation of McGrath was short of £1m and that they were "quite realistic about the situation". Quote

Yes. I suppose it's possible that manager knows less about the club's valuation of a player than someone who leaked the info to a journalist. Quote

Maybe Goodwin is correct and others at the club have been selling the players at car boot sales. He is 100% correct on his comments on our previous history of not cashing in on our players appropriately Quote
