Melbourne Saint Posted May 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 For the first time in many moons, I'm looking forward to how the close season will go. CD (along with other managers) will be getting absolutely swamped with videos etc of players from leagues across Europe. The impact of Covid has now hit clubs, and mass clearouts, similar to Motherwell, will be occurring a lot. CD has a bit of a predicament with Europe, as we'll need a bigger squad to cope with potential additional games (if we make conference group). If we don't re-sign any out of contract/ loans, (Tanser, Brown, MOH, Conway, Mel, Middleton), that's 6 just to keep the same numbers. And that's not taking into account any moves for our players. That's a lot, and I don't expect too many signings as cover- we can't afford wages to warm the bench. Whoever we sign, can someone please stop Scott Boyd "cutting & pasting" the same thank you paragraph for every player so far (!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever we sign, can someone please stop Scott Boyd "cutting & pasting" the same thank you paragraph for every player so far (!) Tough list of players to replace but at least a lot of the core of the team are signed up, unlike as you say Motherwell, Aberdeen etc who all look like they'll be left with crumbs of teams. Continuity will hopefully see us hit the ground running. Saying all that if we lose that 6 and a few big money bids are accepted for players (Kerr & Mccann in particular though can see bids for all of the back line / full backs) it will see us with a major rebuild on our hands. Would like to see all that 6 retained but Tanser sounds like he is away, Middleton would probably need to be another loan and MOH & Conway possibly on decent wages that could be reinvested. Mel has been good and a great option in the 2nd half of the season but I wouldn't see him as a huge loss. Not sure what wages Brown would be looking for but he's been solid enough coming into the team and worth a contract given he's a free agent in the summer. blueheaven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skivealive Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 I'd be surprised if we don't at least offer Brown a contract, depends if he is happy to be 2nd string to Rooney (32 mins). Tanser might get a 6 month deal, depending on his injury or if he has already burner all his Saints bridges. I think all the others will be away. Conway seems to have massively fallen out of favour. I get the impression Melamed isn't that settled here (understandably) and we have Hendry coming back. MOH, depends if other teams are offering decent wages and first team football, I'd guess. I'd take Middleton back on loan if thats an option...but given our improved reputation and European football...i would hope that attracting good players on loan might be a lot easier next season.

garydavidson Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57268896 Rival clubs will have to break St Johnstone's transfer record to prise midfielder Ali McCann from the double cup winners, chairman Steve Brown says. Brown also insists that Callum Davidson, the current manager for whom Blackburn Rovers paid a record £1.75m in 1998, is "happy" at McDiarmid Park. Saints' chairman admits there has already been interest in the players who won the Scottish and League cups. "If Ali is going to go, it will be north of that figure," Brown says. "There's been interest - Ali in particular, a Northern Ireland international. If the right offer comes along and a player wants to leave, which is another thing you have to take into consideration, then we will sell, but it will be at a price we are happy with." south inch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it should be but if you take inflation from 1998 to now then the £1.75m is now valued at £3.15m. Anything north of £4m should do it then.

rik2304 Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Melamed and Tanser. I won't lose much sleep if/when they go. Melamed is a class finisher but does he totally fit the system? I'm not sure. Tanser.....can anyone see him doing what Booth did in the lead up to the goal in the final? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
