DelMonte Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 We wouldn’t bid if there wasn’t a chance. Thinking the feelers have been put out maybe? Link to comment

Tord31 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 That would be a fantastic signing for us and make a huge difference to the team. Link to comment
SupportmeansSUPPORT Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 The fact the budget was gone and we needed players to leave first, but now we are now suddenly pushing the boat out and found 500k to bid for him also makes me think that the Hedges and Hayes injuries are now confirmed long term and its been recognized that we urgently need to bring someone else in who can bring pace, creativity and goal threat.

The alleged £500k release clause only applies for non-Scottish clubs apparently? According to Hibees on Twitter. If true, £500k isn’t going to be anywhere near enough. Link to comment

The fact that we’re even showing an interest is encouraging however, after yesterday’s shitshow. If it’s not to be, then hopefully someone of his ilk. Couldn’t play in Europe for us this season though, if it was Boyle. Link to comment

But as others have alluded to, you would suspect that there has been some form of contact and afc been given the down low on the clause. Link to comment

If we were to get past Qarabag, signings can be made for the group stages of players who have played in Europe for other teams in qualifying rounds. Link to comment

And lets face there is no greater expert on contracts, wages and value of player transfer fees than Ten Caat so if he says its not the case it must be true. 2 Link to comment

Thought we would of been in earlier for him. Link to comment

On twitter a few weeks back though he said something about it not being as straightforward as others had reported and it was a lot more complicated. Link to comment

He never saved a single shot from outside the box. Ryan McLaughlin or whatever his name was - lol Kent? Ryan Kent, one the more recent Liverpool loans. He did okay. Link to comment

thurso Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Is there anything in the transfer rules that state atlanta couldn’t buy him for the £500000 and loan him straight to us. He wouldn’t even have to leave Scotland. In 6 months time swap for Hernandez Link to comment

A tidy wee sum allowing us to go and get another spfl player. The seethe from Scottish Football would be epic. 1 Link to comment
