I think we didn't pay that, I for one would be surprised if we pay more than 100k for anyone, which is why we no doubt lost out on Mackay and that's a development player.

Someone said Goodwin would've been looking at around £300k for McGrath, that's £200k in the bank plus a player they want coming in. Saves them looking for a potentially risky freebie as well and they can ask for the other £100k in any future transfer fee. if saints are wanting popescu then we could always offer his wages for free but by taking it off the transfer fee for mcgrath. They won’t pay a fee for popescu as know we want shot of him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of your previous posts suggest you might be ITK ..... maybe... maybe not. Anyway, is this £100k ceiling an actual policy ? Were we actually in for the ICT lad Mackay ? If so, did it really come down to Hibs being willing & able to pay more than Hearts ? Fans are donating well over £100k every MONTH ..... so I don't understand why we would impose a limit like that on ourselves.

On the flip side, we also have signed the likes Kingsley, Gordon, McEneff and GMS. They aren’t bargain basement. And that’s while in the championship. Knowing what division we will be in next season, particularly given it will be the top flight will help attract players. As will actually knowing when the season will start. Recruitment for as long as I can remember has been largely terrible. I hope we shop a bit more ‘up market’ this summer and the likes of Joe Savage earns his crust 🤞🏼 Edited May 8, 2021 by MattyK82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greedy Jambo Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 I find it really hard to talk about new signings when there's next to no chance of us signing any of them.

That's why I don't think that playing central suits him. I know it was years ago when he played right back for us, but in the spl he didn't have a problem bombing up the line and chipping in with goals. I think after his experience in the championship and in the premier league he would stroll the spl... I doubt he would come back to us unless he is very homesick.
