I don't know the answer to when Killie or Midden last paid UP TO 6 figures but I am sure if they wanted players of Rooney or McCarts quaility to save their season ,they would willingly pay £50 k to £100k.. Add Clark to that Hopefully Saints wouldn't accept anything like that & we keep them for the season. Better still , get them to sign a 2 year deal to stay with Saints to get back in Europe and win more cups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik2304 Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 I think we'll definitely lose McCart on a PCA. Can't really achieve more here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linky Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 I don't think anyone outside of the OF, Hibs, Hearts or Aberdeen would pay £100k for a player. I don't think anyone would be interested in Kane. It takes a while to see his qualities, as most teams would look at goals. If he's out of contract, clubs might be interested, but I can see him staying for the rest of his career. McCart and Rooney are the key leavers.

Will bow your superior knowledge which is not always right.. So £20000 for an untried championship player. So what do you think a premiership left sided centre back , with 18 months exprriance & 2 cups ,praised by every pundit in Scotland is worth. Bad enough chairman selling our team short but surely not the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melbourne Saint Posted October 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 It's interesting, given our success over the past decade, that no club out with the OF has been more successful. No club has had a decent run in Europe. So players can't say "it's a step up in my career"- in Scotland at least. English Championship is a step up, but it's a nightmare in that league to be promoted. What does make the difference is £££. I can't blame McCart signing for anyone if his wages are going to be significantly higher. He's been terrific for us & good around the club. I do hope he goes down south though.

rik2304 Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Fantastic. Callum will likely "trust" him towards the end of next season. THE LARK SAINT, Coltrane, garydavidson and 4 others 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linky Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Interesting. He seems to be a centre midfielder which is a position we have quite a few options for. What is our connection with the Israeli league? First Melamed and then this guy. I know Celtic have successfully scouted the league in the past (not least with Ambrose).

We probably have a connection with certain agents that cover that league. They're just doing their job, sending vids, organising trials. After Eetu, I'm not holding my breath on immigration getting this sorted quickly. Mind you, at least we're applying early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me a bit of Billy Gilmour's style & positioning. But hey, we've seen it all before and every player looks like they are world class.

Tricky6 Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 Eetu is going to be back in Finland come January either on loan or freed isn’t he? What a very strange transfer all round…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 He's had 10 mins game time. 2 perfect opportunities in recent weeks when we were 3-0 up or 3-0 down to get more. If he cant get in time in either of those then obviously not a fit for Saints for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think so. He's on a two-year deal and didn't we pay a fee for him? I think he'll get his chance - this just seems to be the way Callum does things. gingermunkie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we were 3-0 up against Dundee they started coming back into the game so we made a defensive sub instead of an attacking one. In the Livingston game we lost two centre-backs and a wing-back to injury so again we had to make defensive subs. In other circumstances I think we probably would have seen him get a chance in at least one of those games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
