St. Paddy Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Darren Ferguson will get Posh promoted back to the Championship this season so I doubt 'stepping down to the that level' would be for very long. Well then, they can come back then and pay a championship transfer fee for him then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edstar101 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 If May is not in the squad against the Staggies then one might assume he will be on his bike or could he just have a convenient minor injury to keep him out???????????? Ed, is young Kane ready? No, he's probably not ready yet. Will need managed the same way we did with May Saintdunc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 I just find it really depressing that we might not even get an opportunity to see how well he does for Saints over the course of a season. We have spent a lot of time and effort in training him up and loaning him out whilst he has improved as a player and increased his strength greatly. Many consider him to finally be the answer to to our attacking problems this season, and I have been highly excited to see how well our first really exciting youth prospect fares for our club. And now we are willing to let him go after 2 league matches? For £300,000? Why can't we reject any offers until at least January (or the end of the season) when we get a proper idea of how important he will be for us? We would surely get similar offers at that stage, if not even better ones. 55saint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Main1 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 I am the same, we have a real young talent that is pretty much already a Saints hero, the crowd love him and he is a player we look forward to go and watching playing, He has already created a buzz around our attacking options this season, unless we get enough money to buy someone just as good or better and some extra on top which I don’t see, for me there is no point in selling him. Would really be gutted if they let him go 55saint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plastered Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Agree with the above 2 posts. Saints have always been fair with letting players and managers go if the price is right, but then it is down to the individuals, but also their money grabbing self interested agents who have I believe have done untold harm to football over the years. I think that collectively they are partly responsible for the high gate prices. Back to the point I was making before a rant set in..... It is up to May if he wants to go or not. He has to weigh up his income, playing opportunities and his future career. Obviously his agent will be shoving him up the A1 as soon as possible, but May has to decide if playing a full season for Saints will benefit him in the long term. I think he will go further with a full season at Saints, because he will get better offers and opportunities at the end of it. Perhaps a fatherly figure like TW will be able to convince him to look beyond next months pay cheque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCarry One Nil Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 I don't think he'll go - why would he really apart from money. Pretty confident he'll stay here - looks like he's loving it Keep The Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edstar101 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 £1,000,000 the bidding starts at. That shot during the second half How close was it? Anyone at the Ormond Stand end? It looked close from the scoreboard end of the East, but at the same time, their keeper didn't look concerned about it......or maybe he was just beaten all ends up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked close from the scoreboard end of the East, but at the same time, their keeper didn't look concerned about it......or maybe he was just beaten all ends up I think, like the rest of us,he thought it was over the top of him until it turned and turned and dipped. Never seen anything like that live at a game before. Edited August 17, 2013 by Dr Christmas Jones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garydavidson Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Would be typical St Johnstone. Do you think they've sat around a table and discussed the quickest way to ruin the feelgood factor that's existed over the past few weeks? Certainly seems that way. I really hope that is sarcasm.

ryangordon86 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 I really hope that is sarcasm. Partly. I think selling him for relative peanuts would destroy moral amongst the support and probably within the club. We'll get more than £300k if he leaves us at the end of the season from a tribunal. His goals could be worth between 3-5 league positions. Even at 70k per position it makes more sense to me in keeping him. He's clearly happy to stay in Perth. The kid has 3 goals in 4 starts FFS. Where are we going to get those kinda goals from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Center Half Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Heard today at the game that the Posh are very keen on our Stevie, £450K + add ons ,also they are trying to pave the way so we are not disadvantage with a late transfer window bid and we have no time to get somone in hence the trialist.

ex-montrosesaintee Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 It was close! He had a couple of shots in the first half that were blocked, but it's great to see a player just turn and shoot. Instinctive striker. I think there is much more to come if he stays. Fingers crossed.

IMOP bite their hands OFF Why do you want to bite their hands off for a relatively low offer for one of our most exciting players for years. We should be doing everything we can to keep him and to discourage any bids for him. Offer him a new deal, double his wages. He could well be the difference between top and bottom half, Europe or no Europe, even a cup win. I will be incredibly pissed off if he gets sold/ pushed out the door so we can boost an already healthy bank balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex-montrosesaintee Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Just maybe TW is being 100% honest. Steve Brown has to reasonably set a value, and if a buyer matches it then they can speak to the player. Fact. TW hasn't said for one second whether he thinks Stevie will go or not. It's not his call on either front. Instead of playing the big man like most managers, maybe he's just telling it like it is!! Naming May as MOTM today seemed slightly 'political' to me. I thoughtMuzz, Spoony and Nige were all better candidates. fazman1977 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainstand Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 The article in the paper last week said taht May had signed a 1 year with a 1 year option. Not heard that one before? Maybe based on number of appearances? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
