GeordieBuddie Posted June 4, 2023 Report Share Posted June 4, 2023 Stoke have apparently bid 750k for Mark O'Hara. Rejected by the club, said to be holding out for 1m plus. Probably twitter speculation as can't find a report about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found him to be anonymous 90% of the time and last 5 games top 6 never stepped up. Good money to reject. If we do get an offer that the club accepts that is in excess of that would you kindly bite off both your hands? Your keyboard and the internet would benefit greatly!

elvis Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 Some guy on Facebook saying he's been told O.Hara away for a million quid and Main away to Wrexham no idea if true certainly hope not on O.Hara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably you'll be thrilled at us getting a million quid to have offloaded two players that you always forecast will lose every game they play in a St Mirren shirt.

Dare Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 Think Mark fancies another go at down South and tbh can’t blame him for cashing in while his stock is high. If we get around £1mill then it’s not bad business for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCrorie, Ferguson and Turnbull are all younger than O’Hara and no offence to O’Hara, all three are better players. Ferguson and Turnbull both had Premier League interest too and still went for less than they were worth. I’ve loved watching him and I hope he stays but for the club to take in £1m+ for someone we got on a free transfer from Motherwell then we’d be daft to knock it back.

santaponsasaint Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Heard Wrexham are going to offer 1m +. Wait and see.Sent from my SM-S906B using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 If we pull seven figures for a guy who has had a journeyman career before us, it's a tremendous bit of business. I'm not for selling the prized assets but I don't think even the most optimistic of us viewed O'Hara as a potential 'sign cheap, sell high' player when he joined last summer so for me, he'd go down as one of the best bits of dealing the club has ever done if the rumoured figure is correct and shows you what can be achieved with the right manager sounding out the right players for the system we play.

Ethan Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 I will believe this deal when I see it. If we get 1M for O'Hara I will be amazed. Not because he isn't good enough but because we never get a decent fee our players. This could be an interesting pre season. Could also be a massive flop. Only time will tell.

div Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 The massive difference with O'Hara over pretty much every other player who has left us over the last few years is that he's got 3 years left on his contract. That puts us in an incredibly strong position (unless we've agreed a release clause as part of his new contract, and I can't imagine why we would have). If we got offered £1m for him it would be remarkable business and you'd hope that Robbo would get at least a decent slice of that to reinvest. I'd be quite excited to see what Foyle and Robbo could find even with 3 or 4 hundred grand in the hipster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabuddies Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 Main away to Wrexham was all over the English press yesterday. Apparently for triple the wages we paid him. Google it and you will be surprised at where it was reported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Financial fair play will apply and the lower divisions are a slog with 46 games of football before you take cups and potential play offs. A player like Main makes sense on a free.

I know this may sound harsh but, if he can't find another club , we shouldn't be bailing him out. He didn't do enough to merit that. He chose to take the chance to find something better when he was offered a contract so why should we be his safety net. We've moved to fill his void.

It's not as if we're paying him....really, what is wrong with offering training facilities to a guy who was more than a decent servant and a guy that played through injuries for the club. If nothing else transpires for him at least he'll be fit if we decide to find an accommodation for him. That said it's a rumour from Warrior Saint so it's probably a lot of bollocks 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
