foxbar_bud Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Has it not already been confirmed that Houston can't sign McGinn as they have used up their quota of Non Domestic signings? Johns agent is certainly getting a lot of mileage out of this trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johns agent is certainly getting a lot of mileage out of this trip There was a suggestion somewhere that there is a way round the international player quota (might have been something about them having bagged another player to accommodate?).

Johns agent is certainly getting a lot of mileage out of this trip They have used their quota but may it sounds like they are trying to trade some of their quota in so they can take McGinn on instead. According to the article he is out there training with them indefinitely, which makes me think Dundee United would need to make him a good offer and hope we accept what they want to pay us.

slapsalmon Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I've seen talk of a sell on a few times on here, I could be wrong but I don't think we can get one. He is no longer our player so it's purely compensation rather than a transfer is it not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think if club A is negotiating with club B over a compensation fee then A could say they'll take less than a tribunal would set if B agree to a sell on clause. But when you're talking about small sums like taking £50k off to come down to £170k then you would think any sell on clause would be a tiny %.

billymehmet1 Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Houston have traded a player Abd now have an international space left So McGinn expected to sign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billymehmet1 Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 On Thursday the Union traded Sheanon Williams, who had been with the club since its inaugural season, to the Houston Dynamo in exchange for general allocation money and future considerations. The Dynamo also acquired an international roster slot throught the end of the 2016 season from the Union. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callum Gilhooley Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 John McGinn should be forever remembered as a cup winning hero at St.Mirren football Club , the young man who had Wanyama in his back pocket, The player who excited us all with a style of play & a confidence rarely seen . Instead , the last few months have seen him become a Judas figure in some peoples eyes. He is a young man who has been badly advised & it is such a pity to see his time with saints come to such a tawdry end, much the same as Ian Ferguson after his Cup Heroics in 87. Hopefully time will heal the current wounds & in the future John will be remembered with fondness rather than the vitriol being directed at him by a certain section of fans on here. Bye , John. Have a good future but don`t forget the club that helped make you the player you will undoubtedly become. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTOF Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Seemingly meeting with Hibs today. Most likely because they're punting Scott Allan to the blue bigots. Hopefully they'll be in generous mood after receiving the money for Allan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 We should be holding out (in terms of development fee) for a bit of a bidding war if Utd are still interested. That said, could he simply sign for a club and we would have to pursue it after the fact (tribunals, etc.)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, could he simply sign for a club and we would have to pursue it after the fact (tribunals, etc.)? I believe so. Robbie Neilson is in the papers today, saying that they accepted reasonable recompense from the Blue Bigots for Jason Holt, rather than letting it drag on, by being settled by tribunal. I suppose if the club need the money quick, for whatever reason, then they might settle for less than they might get through a tribunal.

foxbar_bud Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 I think a lot of clubs will be scared off the tribunial route after the fee that Rangers got for Charlie Telfer, Think Telfer went for £250k? bearing in mind he had zero premiership or championship experience Imagine Dundee Utd wouldnt want to get bitten twice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ McG Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Shows you how much of a rat McGinn is if he signs for Hibs. I hope his career nosedives at a rapid pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevo_smfc Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Surely they can afford it ! McGinns agent has played this very well. Throwing in his visit to Houston Dynamos last week, i think this has weakened our bargaining hand when dealing with both Dundee Utd and Hibs. I reckon the fee of around 100k is most likely at this stage. Hibs seem front runners at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
