paisleysaints Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I keep seeing a rumour popping up that Mallan is Barnsley bound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 If it happens, all we can hope is that it happens quickly, and that the incoming cash is used wisely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenburn bud Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Rumours that Naismith is off to Ross county tomorrow with a fee agreed. If this is accurate then we must have a left back lined up. Irvine will most likely switch over to play in the right back slot, and we should hopefully see a left back coming in at last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a sensible chap, so £125k the pair. £100k for Mallan (with a sell-on clause), £25k for Naismith. Needless to say, someone will inevitably be along in a bit to say we shouldn't be accepting less than £800k for Mallan, despite the fact that's pure fantasy.

Would you rather a large chunk of that £125K was thrown at players in this window to try and salvage your place in this league or bank it and use it to offset any potential losses for falling to League 1?

I'd invest a third of it, keep two thirds for those rainy days by the seaside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'd rather we use the money wisely. I personally would like to see it reinvested in a few decent younger players who will do a job for us this season but if the worst comes to the worst and we do drop, will still be here for the league one campaign. Guys like Greig Spence and the young French lad Bikey at Stirling are just two whose outlay would be a fraction of whatever money we bring in for Mallan and Naismith and would improve the squad as it stands. Of course these are just examples but if we invest it soundly and wholly, we could build from the ground up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 For what's its worth, negotiation of a decent sell on percentage with Mallan is vital. He's exactly the type of player who will go to a better team and flourish, then move on for daft Championship level money. See Graeme Dorrans, Robert Snodgrass and Ross McCormack. If he goes down there for a pittance, impresses and moves on in two years for a couple of million, then I'd hope to f**k we negotiate a 20% cut of that.

Always one to spot free money, Angelo Massone did of course cancel Livingston's 20% sell-on clause for Dorrans in return for 50K, only for West Brom to receive a bid of £5 million the same month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry Saint Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Confirmation (ish) there that Naismith is away to Ross County. Says a fee has been agreed - it'll be nominal as he'd have signed a PCA with them anyway. We're being linked with a LB from Sunderland, Tom Robson.

geo87 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I'm maybe being harsh, and the fact he's always played for a shambolic st Mirren team hasn't helped him, but don't think he will be missed. Has all the physical attributes but has extremely limited ability. Wish him all the best at county as always like to see the local lads do well.
