Coventry Saint

Needs to keep his hair on imo.

We beat Aberdeen and Hibs to get Brophy and look where it got us...

Mulgrew didn't help himself by being a p***k.

Anyone know which side McMenamin tends to play on?

Assuming his contract has been ripped up at United so it's his wages, not the fee, that'd be the issue, sadly. Though I realise you were being tongue in cheek.

"So ah says they all said Keanu Baccus was worth four million pounds and they said prove it and I said naw you prove it and then they did prove it but that disnae matter cuz ah had them all on strings all afternoon and aye that was mah best ever Sunday. Thank you."

So refresh my memory of the meaning of the word 'continually'...

You've not done that thing where you've read something that one person has written on the internet and assumed it's a widely-held opinion, have you? Because that sort of mistake was embarrassing in 2008, let alone today.

The Danny Rogers redemption arc starts here.

Tell me you don't go on blackandwhitearmy without telling me you don't go on blackandwhitearmy...

Yeah, we get 30% of whatever Hibs make from him. They get 15% of any sale from Villa, we get a third of that. This isn't just idle internet chat, btw. It's been confirmed by club reps.

Absolutely not having it that McGinn is going to leave Villa now, and certainly not for a fee that will net us anything significant. I guess time will tell.

The fee is low. I thought it'd at least be the right side of 500k. I'm also sceptical of the add-ons thing, coming as it does on the day that our dreams of a final big cut of any any McGinn fee were ultimately killed off. BUT bringing players in and turning a profit from them is our strategy. Some will go for more than others, some fees might seem high, some will seem low. But folk have to remember that it's this strategy that pays for the bigger wages for better players that get us to the top six. This is the first time I can ever remember that we've brought a player in and flipped him on within a year for a significant profit. My point is that we'll be seeing a lot of this over the coming seasons and we can't get hung up over individuals.

The year is 2049 and St Mirren are still fucking themselves over with gentlemen's agreements...

I still have a feeling Greive might be starting the season in the Main role. Alongside Nahmani if that turns out to be true, and either cementing his place or making way for Aunga when he's fit.

See that's an interesting shout: could he and Taylor play together if/when Gallagher is out? Possibly.

Also: looking for kit clues from that training top but not really getting any.

FFS. Edited now. Fanny.

Charles Dunne staying! Edited for excitement-infused idiocy.

£800,000 for Baccus along with a couple add-ons is my prediction. Might get close to a million if mid-range Championship clubs get involved. Assume we will owe some of that to his Aussie club as well. This shouldn't matter, but I think his relatively slight build/stature is the only thing stopping top-end Champ clubs going for him.

Which is really not an inconceivable outcome. Both would command strong six-figure fees, which is fine, but also there's no way we're turning those fees down even at the end of August.

They win by a nose?

It's letting them put up a shop that brings in the real coin.

If he doesn't eat a pre-match plate of chips like his da then I'm not interested.

So if it was a different shirt, you mean?
