MrDust Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 2 hours ago, distresseduke said: I'll be honest I think Rogers has been average this season some of his attempts at dealing with crosses have been awful ...now I'm not saying Thomson will be any better but mehmets only appearance saw him drop the ball at cappielow..so .i wouldn't be averse to seeing him start Rogers has went backwards this season for me, frightened rabbit at times. I think its unfair to call foul on Mehmet based on one appearance, i think it says more on a goalie on how he recovers from a mistake, he played a blinder on his last game v Ayr in the cup when Rogers form was questionable. I said at start of season, start with Deniz as number 1 and have a young keeper as back up as its one position throughout a season you can get an emergency back up loan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 As I say, the chances of paying the fee for Grant are minimal, but we are watching him (like many others I'd imagine). We wouldn't be wasting time with our limited staff if we didn't believe we had a chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilostmyself Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I can't see him leaving us at the moment. Just back from a long term injury where he signed a new deal and he's only just broken into the first team again.If he rediscovers his pre injury form up until the summer then he might leave for a decent fee but at the moment it'd be a gamble from St J considering the cost of the player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I just can't see St Johnstone paying a few hundred grand for a player who has had an operation on both knees in recent years. He's just getting back to form now after being out for a while . As I said previously different story if he was nearing the end of his contract. St Johnstone unlike us are a well run club both on and off the field. They've seen many a manager move on to bigger and better things but have always managed to find sensible replacements as well as getting decent cash for players like O'Hallaran when they move on. I wish our bod were half as good as their's. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Noticeable that he took a knock to the knee early on against Hibs, keeled over like a felled tree and went on to have his worst game I've seen him play for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudu Dahan pal Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 It's a no brainer choosing between st.johnstone and Falkirk. Quite obviously, st.johnstone are the bigger side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure like most players he would prefer to play in the premier instead of with the rest of the dross in the championship but its not up to him unfortunately. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish our bod were half as good as their's. Our board seem to be realising that players can be a form of income as well, due to profits made on the likes of O'Halloran. Over the past two years we've signed a raft of youngsters from the lower leagues. I can see us spending a, lower end, six figure sum if we believe he can make an instant impact. We've had a horrendous time trying to replace Frazer Wright at centre half, and if Shaughnessy (his replacement and out of contract in the summer) does get tempted away, we'll be wanting a safe signing in there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well exactly. I may be wrong, but I'm sure this next year he can sign elsewhere for free. So your club has two windows to make money on him. Will they turn money down now in the hope he avoids injury in the next six months? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I reckon we'd be looking for 4-500k for him as he's been excellent for us and he's on a decent length of contract having extended the one that ran out this summer. Whilst we've not got much cash to spend we're also not desperate for money either so there's no need for us to panic sell him. Whether you'd be willing to match or break your transfer record for a guy with a questionable injury record over the past couple of seasons and whose a centre half I'm not so sure. If you offered that kind of money I'm sure he'd be off. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC55 FFC Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 If Falkirk and/or the players agent do their best he'll end up at a bigger club than St Johnstone and for a good weekly wage that neither of us can match. No disrespect to Saints who are currently in a much stronger position on the park than we are and would be a step up in that respect. But he will do much better than St Johnstone or Falkirk for that matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
