This is true. 27 minutes ago, VincentGuerin said: For all that he had a great season and could have carried it on, it's also highly possible he never scores another goal in his life. But this is also true for me 16 minutes ago, Archie McSquackle said: They're paying for potential. As is this. I'd happily take the €1.5m plus add ons and hope he does well for Auxerre. Thanks Theo. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purely for vibes. Realistically though, if there's a guaranteed £800k on the table with some extra achievable add-ons then as others have said we'd be daft not to take it. Not least because it'd cover that existence threatening but entirely hypothetical shortfall that was apparently never a problem until McMahon decided it's a matter that simply must be addressed 6 months ago. When you look at his attributes then @Busta Nut's point about him appearing very coachable is bang on. I think the thing with Bair is that for all you can make the argument that it's a "good 6 months" or whatevs, he's still relatively young and you can equally make the argument that he wasted a year in Perth with a collection of absolute diddies on the coaching staff who apparently didn't know what to do with him. As @dezz says, it'd be another to add to the sales pitch when trying to recruit players and of course it'd be another slice of income for the "fan-ownership doesn't work" crowd to choose to ignore because income derived from a revenue stream of our stated business model seemingly doesn't count. @RandomGuy. - what did Ali McCann actully go for in the end? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Brown said £1.2m guaranteed money, with "easy add ons" taking it to beyond £1.7m. I've always guessed they were to do with appearances/caps but don't know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowsdower Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Getting a fee for Theo is great, but if he becomes the one (or at least the first since marv) to make us something from a sell on clause, that would be just magic. Filling in 2 years worth of financial black holes is pretty nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

standupforthemotherwell Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Haven't seen it mentioned on here but Kettlewell has confirmed McGinn as captain and O'Donnell as vice captain. No complaints at that tbqh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vietnam91 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 1 hour ago, thisGRAEME said: I agree with this. He's not just an athlete but with a bit of faith in him he's just relentless. Makes the same good runs over and over again, if someone gets their head up at any point they will find him in acres of space, as Spittal did consistently. I'm just thrilled that news today has simultaneously elicited the same reaction from our chairman and Eric Nicholson. You tell a saints fan 1 year ago that Theo Bair would be going for Ali McCann money 12 months later then they'd have demanded you sectioned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senorsoupe Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Will be curious to see how he does in Ligue 1. From what I have seen of him with Canada he has struggled to make the step up to a higher standard but with regular minutes he has the ingredients to continue improving 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellboy1991 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Devante Cole a free agent. Would we take him back to replace Bair, if we can afford him wages wise. From what I’ve heard at the game yesterday, we have a striker signed as a replacement already. No names or anything just something discussed by a few folk around me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
