Ethan Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 Poor decision by the club if true. Reid should bring in more than 125k. If he does go best let the manager get us a couple of decent players after yesterdays showing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 £125k for Reid is f**king pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balmullo Bud Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 Was looking forward to seeing Dylan further develop on the pitch with us this season. His potential is massive and £125k seems a ridiculous price considering the hype surrounding him. When the Celtic manager is quoted saying that they’ve put a bid in for him but he has no interest in him at the moment as he’ll go straight into the development team, it all seems like it doesn’t stack up. Who knows what’s really going on but I’m sure the club will play hardball with clubs wanting him. Surely the ball is in our court at the moment.

Scott-Leeds Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 The obvious thing would be start at £300K with Celtic ( the magic 2 stands figure ) Even then , way too lowWe continue to see other clubs commanding realistic fees for their players in Scotland As yet , it’s never been Saints I hope this story is nonsense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been talking up interest in our players starting with Ethan and Dunne then on to 3 of our bright young academy squad so I guess that money will talk. In the short term, if we get a decent figure and could bring Gocic back who would play most/all of our games then, reluctantly, OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norrie82 Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 Yeah the champions of Scotland are tossing us their loose change and taking our hottest prospect. Top deal and wasn’t the claim by Jim Gillespie in April 21 these days are over. What a joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be something else going on. Maybe it's a new approach designed to cash in on sell ons. For years our top academy talent have decided to run down their contracts and Saints never really get to cash in. Celtic are good at getting multi million pound offers for their players - a 30% or more cut of a sell on fee might be the only way for us to ever secure a 7 figure sum for a player. The flip side is that we have just rolled over and the Old Firm have got back to picking off talent on the cheap as they can stick them in their Colts teams.

Yip but I would be giving him a decent signing on fee to get it over the line. Hopefully Baccus has a bit of creativity about him because if you take Kiltie out that team yesterday we have none.

I have to say if we sell for buttons again it will leave a really bad taste. Celtic must be laughing at this . Toss the saints a tenner and we will take their most sellable asset . Sorry let’s play the lad and see if he’s got it. I’m sure the development fee won’t be much less in a years time. Who knows maybe he will be subject to bigger interest in winter window.

I think with the 433, he is trying to get him to be more like Ronan when he sat deeper, I just don't see it playing to Kiltie strengths, which is a real shame. Kiltie being deep I feel mutes his positives. I really liked him higher up the pitch and just behind the strikers.Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add ons and a cut if the sell on fee are also hugely important. I would be disappointed if Saints have agreed a fee . You would think they would sit tight and see what other offers are out there . Not all players highly rated as teenagers go on to be million pound players so cashing in now isn't a bad thing . The pick of this group of youngsters may be under the radar now. We just have to trust the management are doing what they think is best . If we get a decent sell on fee, you might be right. This may be a catastrophic error for Reid, though.

Ethan Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 Reid to hold talks with Celtic tomorrow. We knocked Rangers back with a similar offer which is a strange one. Still only 125k. Really fecked off with the cash coming in. What message does this send out. We need to get more for our youths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 Regardless of future fees, we must be getting more for our biggest young assets in terms of actual cash. £125k and the rest on the never-never is simply ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes remember Burton o Brien and David McNamee leaving to Blackburn for 600k plus add ins which we saw none of. This add ins is no use at times we need a decent deal up front and if your telling me we nurture top talent to sell it for absolutely nothing then What is the point .

If he was to go to one of those 3, it should be Benfica for no other reason than rangers & celtic have a history ruining a lot of young talent. Benfica are more likely to bring him on better than the other 2. If he's good enough, get him in the 1st team squad & see how Stephen Robinson can bring him on.

portmahomack saint Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 The boy's going to go anyway we had to persuade him to sign a new deal in the first place.... Maybe we''ll get a big chunk if or when he makes the first team debut, Then 4 year down the line goes for a modest 10 million to the likes of Brentford or Notts Forrest type team... if were on 20% that's two million... if he's a good yin 40 million to Spurs etc... 8 million to us what's not to like He could just be a teenage wonder like many young Scots and never see the light of day again past 21.... Good deal all round for me if that's the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
