Eric Arthur Blair Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 They'll have seen McLean go for £300k, that may turn out to be their final offer but they'll test the water with a few lower bids first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madball Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 I would expect good money for Mallan given goals from Midfield, but I reckon 250k-350k, 25%+ sell on fee, and a player or 2 (Gowser?) might be tempting. We should try and sell him to Allan Stubbs at Rotherham since he clearly has cash to spend and a preference for buying players he knows from the Scottish game.

Sonny Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 If we have any intention of winning this League and staying in the Premier League once we get there then we need to hold on to players like Mallan. Selling them for a paltry £250K sends out the wrong message in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Even with the half million sale of Stewart I don't think Dundee will offer enough to make any deal for Mallan acceptable. We have to be looking for far more than they can afford. £250,000 plus a player ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmac Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Tbh, I think if they offer 150k he'll be away. No great loss, he's a commodity we cannot afford this season, we need players who are gonna get up n down the pitch and do a shift, that's not Mallan.

He was getting plaudits from all quarters the season before and early in the last campaign. If Magennis is worth £250,000 then at least double that plus a reasonable sell on clause before we even sniff at a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One bad game does not make a player bad. He scored 14 goals last season. Rae was playing him far too deep last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we actually get that much for McLean? Regarding, Mallan being "no great loss", it always is a good laugh to see how clueless some of our support are. This will be from the same crowd that saw McGinn and McLean as useless luxuries too, before they signed for bigger clubs and went straight in to the Scotland squad. Mallan is an exceptional talent that we should be coaching properly and looking to sell on for 1 to 2m. My only concern is the hoofball merchants we have as the management team may not make St Mirren the best place for him to develop his talents much further.

ged62 Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 Mallan an exceptional talent? Ok maybe playing out of position but can't tackle, can't pass a ball 5 yards to his own player. If he's good enough he would adapt. Sell him to Dundee get someone in with balls & willing to do the job. I'm waiting for the pelters to come, it's just my opinion.

He's suppose to be a midfielder and that's where he is playing.He's got talent at free kicks but still has a lot of improvement to do in all other aspects of the game.If the money is good enough I'd sell him and get another Center mid in if possible maybe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same thing was said about Kenny McLean and John McGinn,young players are often inconsistent, and in a team that's light in the midfield and with no midfield general to give them a bit of space to play, can be under a ridiculous amount of pressure to carry the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank McGarvey' wonky legs Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Said this before I would like to see Mallan in a Beckham type role on the right. Played there a few times in the SPL and with him crossing balls in without necessarily beating the full back Sutton and others would thrive. When is the last time Gal actually put in a cross? It would also take him out of a middle 2 where he suffers a wee bit in the physical side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Mallan would get on a hell of a lot better if the keeper and back four actually gave him the ball instead of a long aimless punt up the park that immediately gets headed back meaning Mallan has to fight to gain possession when a teammate could have given him the ball in the first place.

Rae has changed Mallan from a attacking midfielder no doubt for him to spray passes about. So far it is not working Mallan should be out back to where he shines , going forward 14 goals last term testfyes that. It's more important to have a physical midfielder in the roll of playing deep.

It happens time and again in football, managers see a good player and want to "mould" him into what they want to see. Worst case was Ian Ferguson's transition from a highly attacking player to Souness clone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
