Mr Elwood P Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 1 hour ago, DC_92 said: I'll repeat my point again. If we can make a financial saving on McEneff which can be reinvested in other areas of the squad then I'd be happy to let him go. If we can't then I'm not. That statement requires no presumptions and no inside knowledge of any potential deal. Your statement was that any saving would be "negligible", which either requires inside knowledge of the deal, or for that statement to be universally true. If it were universally true then no players would be released from their contract ever, so it clearly isn't. No inside knowledge is required. He has two years left on his deal and he isn’t one of the highest earners. The potential to save money to reinvest elsewhere in the squad is limited. To upgrade any position in our squad we are now looking at players who will be top earners at the club or EPL loanees or exceptional academy graduates. Not to mention the fact he isn’t actually moving … https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hearts/aaron-mceneff-reveals-talks-with-robbie-neilson-and-joe-savage-as-he-fights-for-hearts-place-3353207%3famp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good going forward, good on the ball, seems to put a shift in. And I can't say I've ever noticed him be particularly slow either Unfortunately I suspect St Johnstone would be looking for a bit more than we have to throw around, to get him this year.

If St Johnstone came in offering to pay 50% of his wages for a year, for example, that additional £750-£1,000 a week might make the difference in getting another player we want. If another club wanted him on a permanent deal and he really wanted to go and get regular game time, he might be willing to accept a vastly reduced pay-off. Again, those aren't assumptions, they're examples. It may well be the case that there isn't a financially beneficial deal to be done, in which case I don't expect the club to do a deal. It's total nonsense to say such a deal is an impossibility without inside knowledge, though. That's the reason we try to offload players like Damour, Popescu and Roberts - it's not just because their presence is an inconvenience, it's because it saves money which can be put to better use.

dougal Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 If it were me, I'd keep McAneff. He's different to what we're currently operating with as a midfielder but I think in games we're expected to or are dominating bringing on a player who will drive forward will be good for us. As has been mentioned we are fairly defensive minded but if we strengthen correctly at the back then I think we could afford to switch out one of our more defensive midfielders for a more attacking one when it suits. Yes we do have a large number of midfielders but these are unprecedented times and a single positive covid test could easily put half dozen or more players out of action for a short period of time. We also haven't been particularly lucky when it comes to injuries in the past. So having a sizeable squad does help us. Obviously it's the managers job to keep the players happy and I'm not saying that will be easy bit that is one of his responsibilities that he needs to get right.
