It's bit hard to believe an EPL club would move for a player who has only been full time for 12 months and is 25 in a month. We also should not be paying too much for a player like that I agree. Paying £500K for a player with 12 months left on his contract would be an act of sheet lunacy, and certainly wouldn't fit our "stradagee". Link to comment

Was talking to a friend about the players we’ve signed and no rumours about any players coming in. With brexit already happened do we not need work permits now for any played outside Britain and if their not internationals they will not get permits and we’re hardly going to be able to afford them or did I pick that up wrong Link to comment

BonnieDon Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Doig (who has had one full season of football) could potentially leave for 5 million to Leeds this summer. Personally, I think Ferguson is worth 4-5 million. Curious to hear what others think Ferguson is worth. Link to comment

Paying £500K for a player with 12 months left on his contract would be an act of sheet lunacy, and certainly wouldn't fit our "stradagee". I'd say it's £100k overpriced. He is now a full ROI cap though and holding off, trying to get him on a pre-contract in January could well backfire. If the reported Watford interest in him is true, then it's game over anyway.....he isn't turning them down. But paying £100k over the odds now could net us a profit 10 times that figure 18-24 months down the line and I think it's worth the risk. Whilst we still have Ferguson, I can understand why we don't. But we do have a very winnable tie in the Euro Conference 3rd round and getting through that would certainly pay for McGrath outright with the gate monies accrued plus prize money with another gate (hopefully by then in excess of 10k) to come.

A would be upset if he left for 3 million, a would be delighted for 6-7 million so for me, 5 million is about right 2 Link to comment

He’s as good as frimpong and ajer who both left Celtic for over 10 million. We will get no where near that but should be getting over 5 million id say 7 million maybe even higher Link to comment

fine-n-dandy Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Can see Watford signing McGrath for minimal fee & loaning him back to St’s until end of current contract, maybe we should offer fee & loan him back until Jan. then if we sell Ferguson maybe try get him earlier Link to comment
Bournemouth Gee Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Ferguson is 'worth' what a team will pay for him. Which depends a lot on transfer merry go round kicking off in England in the next few weeks. I think he could easily play in the EPL which makes £3 million total robbery Link to comment

We will get no where near that but should be getting over 5 million id say 7 million maybe even higher I honestly can't see us getting more than £4m for him. The fact Watford apparently tested the water with just £2m suggests it'll end up being somewhere between £2-4m (probably £3m). He is significantly better than Cosgrove, and also McKenna, so we should be holding out for £3-4m with sell on clause and everything else you'd expect these days. The main thing counting against him is that he hasn't got a Scotland cap yet. If he hangs around for the rest of this season, scores double figures again, catches the eye in big games, and bags a Scotland cap, then we might be looking at £5m+ Link to comment
