Which; monetarily has the greatest value do you think? Whilst I agree with your point... This board will take the easy money every time! see my latest/ last/ post Edited July 8, 2019 by jaybee brain can't keep up with mouth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Pityme Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 5 hours ago, TPAFKA Jersey 2 said: Agree with the first part of your post. Re the second part though, for some reason Hladky doesn’t strike me as that type of guy. I have absolutely no basis for saying that though. 🤣 He probably isnt hat type of guy. But i bet his agent IS! And thats the root of discontent with players whose club they believe are asking too much. The agent gets in the players head and says "if the buyers have to pay more than £xxxx to sign you, you wont get a signing on fee, or it will be slashed." Meaning the agent misses out on that bung too! the agent is incentivised to get a player released as cheap as possible for a nice wedge to share with the player.

Lord Pityme Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Have to say people suggesting he's worth £300k plus.... arent living in the real world. If thats the case then why did we laugh at Popescu's club wanting £350k for him? The value of both is about the same imo, and if the board chase £200k plus then they will either be embarrassed and let him go for £100k on deadline day, or face him as suggested previously signing a pca in January and walking for nowt next summer or accepting two copies of the Beano and a Curly Wurly to release him in Jan to his pca club. take the best offer available now, and use it to nick Dun Utd's keeper on a three year deal with the opportunity to sell him at a handsome profit next summer.

They’ve offered £200k and it’s been immediately rejected, of course He’s valued at more than that. A very usual tactic for teams to try and low ball a first offer. Hardly any transfer in modern day football goes on the first offer unless it meets a release clause but St Mirren should just accept the money and run? No one laughed at Popescu valuation, just hoped an arrangement could be agreed given they don’t seem to want him for their squad this season. If we didn’t want Hladky I’m sure we’d be happy with around £200k for someone that has been wrong so often in underselling our club & board, it’s unbelievable you still engage with such ridiculous suggestions as, we would accept 50% of this offer on deadline day. Where do you come up with this stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not worth losing our top keeper for 200k So if he is not worth losing for this figure - we could 1. extend his contract, or 2. wait for higher bids. Top keeper definitely worth over 0.5 Million and a real asset to us. My preference is option 1. But to be honest, I would not be surprised if he is away before the League season begins... hope I am wrong though... and option 2 kicks in after a 2 year extension...

Likely sign a PCA in January if he doesn’t go now. Dilemma for the board, take the money or keep the player for a year and then lose him for nothing. What a wonderful dilema for us to have.

Does he know something? I don't believe that was the case. We had Rodgers on our books and were already on the verge of bringing in Hladky. The club couldn't afford to have 3 goalies. Unfortunate the Rodgers situation left him with no other option than to take an offer down the leagues. Possibly was assured we would come back for him in the summer if he kept himself ticking over and Rodgers was off our books Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as he is good I'm happy. St Mirren team tweet at the Spanish Airport has GLS , Goodwin , Tony smiling from ear to ear. I can feel something good is coming very soon.
