Stoobs Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Expect McAllister announcement first tomorrow, then confirmation of the McGinn signing. Still not done yet either. Defence next! Yes, very happy with the dealings thus far but feel the onus has been on midfield recruits. Would love a rugged, reliable centre half that would complete "The Great Escape Jigsaw" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jake Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 http://www.stmirren.com/news/club/all-news/545-kyle-mcallister-leaves-to-join-derby-county Some complimentary comments about the club and fans there from Kyle [emoji1417] I hope he does well and that the deal makes us some cash later on. I only wish we could've kept him until the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irate-Pirate Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 You can't really fault Kyle for signing for Derby. Don't really understand why they couldn't have loaned him back to us for the rest of the season.First team games are surely better for his development???

It could well be, and I hope it is, but, if the poster who mentioned comment he claims are from TF is correct, then it's not very streetwise for a CEO to infer we are flush.

Getting out of Scottish football early is the best move for any bright young talent. When was the last time we sold a player to England? S McGinn? I'd thought that too - weird coincidence that McAllister is sold the day McGinn returns! Would love McAllister to be a success down south (partly because we'd benefit) but I've a feeling he - and Mallan if he goes - will end up being punted out on loan a two or three times before ending up back in Scotland in a couple of years. Fingers crossed that doesn't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Zo Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Always disappointing to see a young talent leave the buds before getting the best from them but it has to viewed as a decent bit of business for the club. A talented youngster who has made a handful of appearances, most of them whilst playing for a club that have been marooned to the foot of the Championship, selling for a fair wedge with some lucrative add ons. Would love to get the money Hamilton and Falkirk seem to command on a regular basis but sadly we don't. Barry McKay at Rangers for £6 million. You are having a laugh!You can't blame Kyle for wanting to the go because he knows the cruel side of the game when Rangers binned him as a youth and this chance might not come round again. Probably going from something like £300 a week to £3,000 a week. Good luck to him! I will watch his career with interest.Disappointing he couldn't have been loaned back until end of season but such is life.Time for us to get behind the players at the club, young and old, and back them in our bid for Championship survival.We are all in this together.

Stoobs Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Playing in Derby's Reserves for years and getting loaned out to Nonentities will be marvellous for him. Worst case scenario, he will be loaned out to a lower league team but he will be commanding a salary probably 10 times as much as he is on now. If it doesn't work out at Derby long term, he will be a better player than he is now and will be snapped up by someone that pays massively more than Saints could ever do. I think, unless you are with Celtic, if an English club comes in offering you a brilliant salary package, you must go. It is a job after all. He is now financially secure for next 3 and half years and probably beyond. Good luck to the boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabuddies Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Would love to get the money Hamilton and Falkirk seem to command on a regular basis but sadly we don't. Hamilton got their fingers burnt with a few deals recently. The most recent was Ziggy Gordon - they turned down a £300K bid from a top Polish side last season because it was way below their valuation. He refused a new contract and signed a 1 year deal for Partick in the summer as he was by then 23. He's now left them half way through the contract and signed for the Polish club this week. Hamilton got nothing for him, and no add ons or sell on clause. Partick got nothing even though he was under contract because guess what - they had a gentleman's agreement. That's where most Scottish clubs are now because you can't get a young player on a long term contract as their agent won't let them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hambud Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Playing in Derby's Reserves for years and getting loaned out to Nonentities will be marvellous for him. I remember hearing a story about when Stephen McGinn moved to Watford. He was our fittest player when he left but when he arrived Malky Mckay reckoned his fitness levels were months behind what was required for that level. He signed for them in January didn't make his first appearance until it was late February and was used sparingly that season, 2 starts and 7 sub appearances. The next season, after working in his fitness and getting a pre season under his belt, he was a first team regular. There used to be a guy on here with a name similar to yours that used to bleat about how low our level of football was that it should be a fiver into every game and the player's should be part time. What would be the point in loaning him back to us if that was the case? Or was that guy off his head and post building? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Headline in today's PDE is "Kyle saves Saints", followed by an "exclusive" two page interview with Kyle. FWIW the deal that is mentioned, is £500K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
