Jiangsu Sainty Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Its true, if his contract is up in the summer we will do well to get 50k for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Kelly had a contract until 2014 I believe. Afraid ability isn't the primary factor in fees nowadays. His contract was up this summer. I think Killie would've been entitled to compensation though because he was under 24. If he has turned a new contract down, I'd expect him to leave in this window to be honest. I wouldn't be totally against losing him for nothing in the summer if the offer is below a certain amount as losing him might cost us at least 2 or 3 league placings, costing us quite a lot in prize money and top 6 games. Offer has to be right IMO. dave mc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is indeed due to the compensation that they negotiated a payment, so we would still be lucky to get anything for Muzz. Would he really cost us a few places? We have a decent midfield, and his performances haven't been AMAZING, just not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garydavidson Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) I think my shots to goal(s) ratio in the amateur leagues of Inverness and Glasgow far outshines those other Davidsons Edited January 11, 2013 by garydavidson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I think saints go with the line if you want him you give us 200k + add ons, he's as good a player as Kelly and that's what Killie got so same for us. Shame to lose him, but we got 4 seasons out of a cracking young player and I for one was delighted to watch his development into a really good, dynamic midfielder. He's replaceable though, midfield is an area tere are always quality players in and tbh everyone in he league is going to lose at least 1 key player in te summer for nothing, rather get cash for ours now.

Radford 72 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 As said though, Killie would have been due a development fee for Kelly anyway, would they not, so City were always going to have to pay something? A club will be able to get Davidson for nothing in the summer. I'd be more interested in securing a percentage of his next fee than (what would be) a small lump sum now. A few seasons in England and if he does well he could be worth a couple of million. If Saints got 10% of that, it's probably more than we'd get now. With the financial situation, Saints would need to accept a decent offer this month though. john1962 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except it isn't the same, as Kelly is u24 so if Killie made an offer which matched his current salary then BC would have to pay compensation for him, so one assumes the 200k is a compromise reached. Murray is over 24, so as I understand it is free as a bird come May 31st (or whenever) sorry - didnt see raford's post Edited January 11, 2013 by Jiangsu Sainty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik2304 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Hopefully Murray uses this as a real platform to progress. Would hate to see him rattle around the lower leagues in England for a few years then come back to Scotland on a free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wurzel country Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) Hello St's, long time with no posts. Can you tell me what our new boy Liam Kelly is like?

That is always an issue I had with Jody, particularly when people were talking about him being potential manager material when Del left. If h ever wants to get into management, he needs to grow up one hell of a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHallSaint Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Kelly was at MK Dons before Killie don't think they would have been due anything but was he not under contract til next season? Good luck to Muzz down south, been a good servant at the club and can't knock him for wanting to try a new challenge. Personally I'd rather he went now for 50k than for nothing in the summer but either way no hard feelings, Super Dave signing on is always good news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some things he is doing are plain baffling! Is he out of his depth? I hope not but really have my doubts tbh!

Steve McQueen Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 I actually think Liam Kelly is a very good player but sometimes goes unnoticed in games because the job he does isn't spectacular. Solid player seems to have improved his goalscoring this year. Maybe that's because we have a decent record against Kilie over the last couple of years. I wonder if the public nature of his fathers death (at last years League Cup final) means he wants to be closer to his family? Although if that was the case he could have gone in the summer.

RandomGuy Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hello St's, long time with no posts. Can you tell me what our new boy Liam Kelly is like? We have heard nothing about Murray in BS3 but it wouldn't be a shock to see him down here. He seems to me like a combative wee midfielder who'll win win plenty of tackles, but he doesn't seem to set up any goals nor does he get into the box all that much. He'll never miss a penalty either! Kilmarnock fans seemed to adore him but I never really saw anything spectacular, maybe that's a good thing that I never noticed him though, as he wasn't making mistakes And I'd imagine any Davidson to City deal is now dead after your signing of Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
