Independence Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 30 minutes ago, CAR said: Believe it or not most of them claiming that McLaren is a better signing! Claiming Naismith hasn't played in nearly a year! (he has been playing in under 23s since returning from injury and just scored 2 goals) He is done in and Norwich fans are celebrating his departure! (well even the Scottish press are saying this probably the best bit of business anyone has done) So basically they are deluded as ever Who? McLaren you say! Just who is he?

This is a club existing on a hand-to-mouth basis, dependent on soft loans from their own directors to keep the lights on, who even now don’t have a Nomad due to the bonkers state of their finances. (Did they even have their credit facilities restored?) I quite agree that, if they decide to make a play for him, they may well price us out.

The might not pay a transfer fee but if Hearts come to any deal with Norwich to release him the rangers could come in and that would be us out of the running. 10k isn't much, Niko Kranjčar is out of contract at the end of the season. That's at least 20k saved right there and they would have significantly strengthened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On face value, a lot of money. However (back of fag packet figures)... SN is a replacement (and upgrade) on Jamie Walker who may have been on 2.5K to 3K per week.

It would require some to and fro in negotiation. Norwich would be keen to get rid of the monthly salary so they might be willing to forgo it but then we would have to make a very good offer to Naismith to plug the wages gap. You can see why a deal wasn’t concluded just now as it would have involved a LOT of money up front from us or a commitment to very high wages. you never know how the next 6 months will pan out, so I think we have done very well to get him on loan for this critical period.
