At the other end of the scale, you’d be raging if you were St Johnstone. Lose their captain for £600k. And lose Ali McCann (2years to go on his contract) for a fee that “could be worth up to a million) - in other words is initially less than a million. That’s shite. Link to comment

Ten Caat Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 In May the St J chairman was quoted on BBC as saying it would take a record fee for them to consider selling McCann. Their record fee received is £1.75m, ironically for their current boss, when they sold him to Blackburn. Over the summer, on various outlets......pie and bovril, both the arse cheeks' official neewspapers and on St J's own fansite the fee was quoted to be £3m that they wanted. Quite a number of arse cheek supporters were saying that their teams should have coughed it up. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 The window closing has only confirmed my lack of faith in the judgment of Glass rgds what is required in defence for a club like Aberdeen to challenge at the top of table. Happy enough (though could have been much better in areas) with most of his other dealings. Completely out of touch/his depth in central defence though. He deserves all the stick he will get between now & the desperation signings to fix what should have been done long ago in January. so unless Gallagher drastically improves, Bates has somehow transformed into a top CH or Hancock is close to a new McKenna type breaking through I will continue to lambast his shockingly amateur treatment of our central defence. Third place at best could well be beyond us come January with our pish defence Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 St Johnstone selling the crown jewels for pennies! Disappointing to see them cave in for that sort of money... doesn't set a good precedent.. Link to comment
BonnieDon Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I'm really surprised Hibs haven't sold any of Doig, Nisbett, Boyle or "Porto". Ron Gordon back in May revealed they were bleeding cash and needed to sell some of their assets to recover from the last 18 months. I'm wondering if they were banking on receiving big fees for these players and it never came to fruition. They also increased their wages this window and spent 400k on Daniel McKay. We sold Cosgrove, Wright, and McKenna in order to cover our losses and provided Glass the ability to make changes to the side this window. Link to comment

ericblack4boss Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Apparently there was a paperwork issue with the SFA, so deal didn't go through, although with Rod Petrie president of the SFA I wouldn't bet that its totally dead Link to comment

No, but a deal was apparently agreed. Scott Allan & Drey Wright plus cash. Wright is almost worthless & Allan is worth about £150k given his health issues. I’d guess £300k plus those players. I suspect Aberdeen/Hibs have missed the boat now. If it comes down to purely him going on a Bosman a good few English clubs will be interested Link to comment

THought that there was a fee agreed with Doig not too long ago? Gonna assume at least 2 of them will be gone within 12 month, just a case of if they can get the money they want Link to comment

Shinniesta Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 15 hours ago, Roberto said: See Tims signed a Greek cunt from VVV. He had some record last season he was the clear top goal scorer in the Eredivisie with 26 goals for a team that finished second bottom. He scored 29 goals in total last season in only 33 games. He's only 26 and a Greek international but his record before last season was nothing to write home about. Still considering how good his stats were last season I'm surprised Celtic only had to pay £2.5m considering Hibs want £5m for Nisbett. Link to comment

JakieBastard Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 From what I can gather the club had an agreed fee as part of the loan deal with Celtic. He has gone over there and performed really well, so they've obviously taken up the option to buy knowing that is now well below his true market value. Jammy bastards Link to comment
