AC Mallin_51 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) To be honest I think the biggest stumbling block we have with a lot of potential signings isn’t particularly transfer fees but wages. Can pick up some pretty good players on the cheap and even for nothing but it’s competing with teams down south with what we can offer financially even if we offer a bigger playing role. For that reason I’m very surprised we got Cochrane back Edited June 29, 2022 by AC Mallin_51 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd do £500k, £300k performance add on, 30% sell-on fee, and Everton retain right of first refusal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I can’t as it was a general summation of my own thoughts and opinion re what I think our next 5 year plan should be. If we stopped dropping silly points to the Ross county, Motherwells and Aberdeen’s then we’d be a whole lot closer to the OF. Consistency is a must and injuries mid season blighted us. Hopefully a larger and stronger squad will ensure we pick up another ten points to this years total. Probably shouldn’t have quoted your post as such but hey ho. We do have fans that are super impatient on all fronts and I’d much rather our progress was slow, deliberate, incremental and permanent than a one season flash in the pan. We should be firmly established as the number one team out with the erse cheeks. Hopefully this is the start of these plans coming to fruition after so many let downs and set backs.

I'd do £500k, £300k performance add on, 30% sell-on fee, and Everton retain right of first refusal. Of course that's still good but to voluntarily offer that into the deal would be irresponsible I think. 30% max. Like I say any more is pretty much unheard of. I'd be happy with your suggestion. Somewhere around £1M-£1.5M total outlay with a sell-on should be enough to tempt them into selling. I wonder about wages though because if he's on the suggested £8K pw then you'd think we're going to be miles apart in that sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Depending on how our new signings look in training the need for a “Souttar replacement” per se may change.
