Tommy hinted at that being the case, softing the blow that no one is really fitting the bill of what we need, what we can afford and who is available. We might get Berra at the last minute if no one else wants him. We are taking a chance going into last half of the season with the defence we have as there has to be injuries and/or suspension Johnny B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m really surprised that we haven’t heard anything on Madis Vihmann yet. Surely if we pack off Callaghan and Vihmann, coupled with the knowledge that Kennedy’s wage will be available in six months, we can bring someone in.

If so, it would probably make sense to wait until there's definitely someone else lined up to come in, before getting rid of Vihmann. Otherwise we could lose him and end up not replacing him. I still reckon Berra on loan seems the most likely move for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought ,if Vihmann was unwilling or unable to return to his parent club then it might be in the interests of both for his contract to be bought out. Let's face it even if we had an injury or ban problem Duffy would be first choice & Booth moved central second option. Surely the guy would want to go home rather than spend another 3to 4 months alone in a strange country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat McGroin Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 I think we got Vihmann on loan from another loan club (obviously dealing with his parent club) Pretty sure that would mean he can’t play for another club this year, so going home would guarantee no game time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played for Staebek before us, who play a Summer season, so the season he played for them is now over. So technically, I believe he could play for another club, if that club is just starting their season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does this rule apply with countries who run a summer season, and so are just starting a new season. The deal might be for a whole year, without an option to send him back anyway. If so, a short-sighted decision by the club. Callachan leaving will hopefully free up some funds. I don't think we're likely to get anyone in unless Swanson can move on too though. At the moment, the most likely signing is Berra on loan, but it might be that another club beats us to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintJet Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 I'm interested to see if Matt Kennedy gets a start tomorrow; I think as much as TW would like to see him stay and keep in good form he knows he still has some manouverability if we keep him available for Aberdeen for the cup; we could still end up getting something out of this deal.

RandomGuy Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 2 hours ago, SconeSaintees said: It's called ambition!!!! It's a completely different level though. Our wage bill will be around £3m a year, Dundee last reported one was £3.5m for reference. Aberdeens is above £11m. To put us towards the top of the division regularly you're needing someone yo invest around £10m every single year. At League Two level you can likely outspend everyone in the decision by chucking £2m at it. Steve Brown could invest more than Coves owner, yet you wouldnt see any benefit.

Cagey Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Celtic fans saying they should have signed Kennedy. Wish they had said that a couple of weeks ago. Have felt since we heard Kennedy had signed a pre contract that he would not be playing tomorrow. Even if Saints & Dons agree terms for early release I think Saints wouldn't want him cup tied so that they have time to thrash out fee.
