We couldn't afford him but he will probably go back to Hibs who badly need him unfortunately. Not sure hes been released, just been told he can leave. Last thing I read suggested they wanted the majority of the £1m they spent on him back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

County can certainly be big spenders when they want to be. Was interesting to read Shankland saying that most of the talk of English clubs being in for him was made up: "A lot more got made of speculation than was true, teams were getting pulled from everywhere and they weren't actually interested." https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48922852 True with the Shankland stuff. Stevie May lives between Dundee and Forfar though, can’t see him relocating to the Highlands when he has a valid contract at Aberdeen and 3 bigger clubs interested just down the road.

cristo Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 Ando and Jason will be fine together. As mentioned, Joe is still around. And doesn't the young lad Duffy play right or Centre back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 The lack of trialists in pre season a bit of a worry.3 guys get half a game & discarded. The other guy gets 2half games & discarded. I hope Tommy still has a couple of defenders in mind for signing before deadline. Defence was always looking threadbare before injuries . There are a few young guys that you could give a game in midfield or up front but not aware of any decent young defenders we could play in an emergency.

They can only offer him double the wage we have if we have offered to buy him outright. From what I had seen Dundee United were looking at a loan deal so no wage offer.

The longer the May link continues with nada happening, the more it would appear unlikely. As for lack of trialists; we are akin to shopping at Bargain Buys fae the club. Don't expect a Mark's and Spencer "dine in for two" quality product, we might need to make do with a pot noodle and half loaf, with a short shelf life. john.w and rickardo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If McInnes doesn't fancy him, we really shouldn't be getting involved. We had our best of him, and made a few quid. Like MOH, let's not go back!

If Dundee Utd are genuinely splashing out big money on multiple players, on their crowds and in their division, they'll be in trouble before long. That's not something I want Saints to be trying to compete with. mainstand and Cagey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Dundee Utd are genuinely splashing out big money on multiple players, on their crowds and in their division, they'll be in trouble before long. That's not something I want Saints to be trying to compete with. 100% agree. Utd are pushing the boat out this year as they need to go back up. If they don't, then they will struggle for a long time to come. Cannot see them both paying a fee for May AND paying 3k, when they could loan him and not be burdened with a high earner. If they do want to pay him silly money (relatively), then we should not try and match them. On the flip side, if the difference in what saints would offer and what May wants is material, then make the performance bonuses higher. Equally, if it came down to say £1k per week difference, then you are talking 3-4k extra fans over the season or 150-200 each game to make up the difference. Would having May vs AN Other striker add that many fans? Edited July 12, 2019 by TheYellowBox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he may also have an injury problem so I wouldn't go for him if Arabs signed May & released Sow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
