div Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Vaclav will be free to sign for any club on a pre-contract in January and he will leave us at the end of the Summer. Can't see anyone offering us the sort of money that would tempt us to allow him to leave any earlier than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munoz Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 He's too good for them and supposedly wants to play in England. Can't see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornwall_Saint Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Would be a strange one considering Qarabag made a decent type of offer and the Sevvies are skint, not to mention that would mean actually paying decent money for a player from another Scottish team, something neither of the bigots like doing.

If it's a pre contract there wont be a fee....I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread mentioned a deal for January. I’m sure it’s also “illegal” to discuss signing a player on a pre-contract when it isn’t yet January.

antrin Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Well.... that’s really surprising as the SMSM doesn’t usually try to unsettle opposition players until two weeks before a match. And the next one against sevco (if it still is in existence by then) is in January.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scam75 Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 If he was to go, anything less than 7 figures would be madness. It would take a silly bid and the mob from Govan couldn't afford him. However stranger things have happened.The exact cost of relegation plus enough to build a squad to come straight back up should be the absolute minimum to force our hand to sell. I base this on the fact the effect of him leaving could be.Of course we are St Mirren and commanding appropriate fees for our players has never been a strong suit.....so who knows what we'll do!

Unless we can convince him to sign a new contract, precious little we can do about it.I'm just making a point of enjoying his every game, grateful for the privilege of seeing the perfect modern day athlete and the best keeper I've ever seen.

HSS Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Rumour has it that a Sports Management Company paid the fee for the boy Kent.The same rumour also speculated that someone with sevco "connections" is a Director of said Company.

Sweeper07 Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 IF they are truly in financial trouble, don't be surprised if Tavernier or Morelos get sold, January or next summer. A fee for either will plug a big big hole... Hladky is great but even if we had him on a 4 year deal, the reality is he would be most likely be sold for anything over £500,000 by us if an offer of that magnitude came in. I would think that in the above scenario that it would be madness considering players like Turnbull were being touted at over £3 million, but, not sure that we are attracting bids like that in the near future yet. Maybe in a season or 2 though? Bottom line is we should offer Hladky a £50,000 sign on fee for a four year contract and double his wages . . . (He is not irreplaceable, but he is a hard act to follow) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(He is not irreplaceable, but he is a hard act to follow) We cant stand in his way. Players have a very limited time to make money and he is good enough to move on, i do hope its not THEM though or any other Scottish club. Money is still crucial for us, our wage bill may be under better control without so many short term deals, however we always will need to sell on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doakes Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 Sadly he will be gone at the end of the season on a free, no chance of him signing a new contract. Great keeper, hope he doesn't go to Rangers as a bench warmer - far too good for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I know these things cannot be guaranteed but Hladky will play at a higher level than for us, and English clubs pay daft money) Like you I hope when he does move it is away from Scotland. I have no doubt a number of Scottish clubs are interested in the pre contract idea with him for January - Hearts, Hibs, Killie, Fakes, Hamilton, Aberdeen, Motherwell etc. He will have a number of options . . . so if we are not getting decent money in January, just hope he stays till the end of the season...

Would make him our top earner , give him a £100k signing on fee , and %20 of any transfer fee should we get over £500k and %30 of any transfer fee should we get over £1million .

Lord Pityme Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 Should have been either made a contract offer he couldn't refuse, or sold for £200k to qarabag etc.. yet another smfc exercise in not investing or cashing out at the right time.As an example could have bought the dun utd lad for £200k and sold him on in a season or two for a decent return Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeper07 Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 Given that MacGregor has just penned an extra year, I think Hladky won't be going to the blue chancers... Paper talk he is off elsewhere also ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
