Doakes Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 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? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how the quotation marks are around the “quite realistic about the situation” and not around the “short of a million” Nothing to see here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"the days of St.mirren selling players for 100 or 200k are over" quote from Vice Chairman Gillespie prior to Hamilton away in Scottish cup in April. Now in August it seems that we will sell a top centre half for just that. Sorry mate but I am not convinced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is 100% correct on his comments on our previous history of not cashing in on our players appropriately. It's been a mixed bag IMO. Goodwin cites McGinn as an example. I'm incredibly grateful in this case that we opted for a huge sell on percentage as opposed to a bigger fee. Given the huge amount money that has been generated, WGAF what the transfer fee was? McLean went for less than he should have, but wasn't there some agreement that if he signed an extension he could leave if a club matched a certain, albeit on the face of it a very low sum IMO? I thought we did well out of McAllister, given his injury problems. Might have wanted a wee bit more for Morgan, but he was into the last six months of his contract. I also thought we did well with O'Brien and MacNamee, given their eventual career trajectories. I'm not going to bother delving into 80's transfers as that's ancient history. Feel free to point out any others that I've neglected to mention due to old age. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we are doing a good job of highlighting the fact that the players are available at the right price . Just need a few more teams interested to get the right price up . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erhahon anything over two hundred and fifty thousand and same for McCarthy... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clydebanksaint Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 I reckon McGrath will go for 500k plus add ons. Ethan not leaving in this window. McCarthy will go for around 300k plus add ons. That is still on the low side as I personally think he will go on to bigger and better things than McGrath. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 The boy Reid will eclipse them all when he is eventually sold. The club is on a strong footing and it is important we keep churning out talent 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 To play the two of them in same team would be the most negative set up ever...Of course it would and manager admitted that more than once he sent team out to "not to lose rather than win", including by looks of it our 3 massive games last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
