wavydavy Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 3 minutes ago, Special Agent Dale Cooper said: There's absolutely no danger we will need to pay more than £150k for anyone sub-premiership level this summer. Clubs are on their knees! I would hazard a guess that Wighton + £100k would secure Nisbet. They might accept £50k without Wighton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam1998 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Hibs and Utd allegedly bid 350k - 400k in Jan and reportedly keen on getting this window - be pleasantly surprised if we were able to get him instead. Would make a real statement and definitely worth a gamble imo. Player + Cash + a sell on fee AND a Covid style match like back in the BDO Admin Fundraiser all those years ago. Be surprised to see much money going out until Arbitration done and dusted after the United QC mentioned we clearly weren't hard up for cash as we'd just paid for Robbie. Any money should be undisclosed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soonbe110 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 5 hours ago, Cruyff said: Not Bristol City mate. If it was Bristol City, fair do's. They're a decent sized club. It's Bristol Rovers, a mid table league 1 team. The equivalent of being outbid by St Johnstone. They are probably spending about 80% of their income on wages like most English clubs. However there’s likely to be a salary cap next season of 20 player squads at max total wages of £2.5m in League 1. That’s an average of £2k per week. Seems odd that they are offering him so much more than us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarrysRightFoot Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I was worried that Neilson might fancy Uche and from of the comments on here it sounds as though that’s the case. Personally I don’t feel he is required and would be fairly easy to get rid of. He may do well in the Championship (if that’s where we end up) due to his size and physicality but he hasn't developed or improved his game enough for the Prem.

I've just had a further message saying everything has been agreed between Dunfermline and HMFC and it is just down to personal terms being agreed, and these have been getting discussed this week. He doesn't know what it will be costing us but did say bids from Hibs and Dundee United were turned down, and the higher of those was £450k.

So you admit you are wrong but instead of just acknowledging that you want to try and be shall we say smart (though clearly you are not)..its not even a debate between Naismith and Lafferty..indeed its embarrassing to even consider it. Washington is also better player (scored more than Lafferty last season and he was injured for almost half of it) if we are judging it these days than a 33 year old Lafferty..and he will be 33 by the seasons start is just not good enough for us PS it is about your union jack waving fans and you know it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can run riot against Aberdeen and Celtic as he has done he certainly do it against championship teams. Not sure about the Premiership. If we can find a better option we should move him on.

JTJ Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 "Pre-Covid" bids and "During Covid" bids are going to be drastically different. Most teams will look to sell anyone they can, for what they can get, and sign out of contract replacements as there will be thousands of players out of work. League 2 teams may have plenty 16/17 year olds to fill up their squads - "Yoppers" in my day! 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
