The Grass Is Greener. Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 English Championship maybe? Looks a good player but doubt he's ready for that yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenburn bud Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Lewis has only had one full season of starting games, he needs to stay at least one or two more seasons while learning his trade before he moves. After losing Mallan we can't really afford to be selling our next best asset, as he's going to be vital to our chances next season. fucking agents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby_F Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Morgan was absolutely super last season. Even when most of the team were having stinkers, he was our only ray of light (well, maybe Mallan, but Morgan shone brighter). After the transformation of the team in January he got even better. And he was a big part of what made us such a joy to watch in the last few months. Hope this is just agent talk, as would be gutted to lose him! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) Thankfully he has two years of his contract remaining so unless the offer is simply too good to knock back, Lewis will be going nowhere as we're under no pressure to sell. Few folk on Twitter saying the bidding club was Hibs. I'd be very surprised if they can come up with the money I'd imagine we'd be looking for much like the situation with Mallan and Dundee at this point last year.

RandomGuy. Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Archibald/Wright-> Aberdeen Ross -> established top 6 club Pretty straightforward stuff tbh. We've already got our next manager in place 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fakes are no bigger than the real Saints so if Dundee the team he supported as a boy can't get him away from the real Saints you have no chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Who will be your next gaffer? Callum Davidson has been "mentored" for the role for a few years, even taking charge of the games when TW has been unavailable. I think he'll be the first option when Wright leaves. There's no chance we'd go after Ross. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) Appears now that the bidding club was Burton Albion and the second rejected bid was around £250k Edited June 13, 2017 by djchapsticks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at El Bak at Dundee. Hasn't really done much up there but try telling any Pars fans he's not a fantastic player. Also, St Mirren fans.. meet Hawk. Hawk... meet St Mirren. Hawk comes free with each Gavin Reilly that you sign.

It appears he only has a year left (I thought it was two) but he's clearly our star man and one we're desperate to cling to but rumours are he's being advised not to sign a new deal. From the language used in the articles in Record and Sun websites (I know, I know), it appears that we completely palmed the second offer off out of hand without even so much as a counter-proposal and Fitzpatrick is in the paper saying that we don't want or need to sell him. Everyone of course has their price but my guess is that £250k is miles away from what we'd be willing to let him part for given how important he could be to our season and that he'd be difficult to replace. Honestly, I'd have thought we'd have been sorely tempted by that amount into at least negotiating but it's a pleasant surprise to see that we're not.

RossC93 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 We're in a position that we can now turn down offers without worrying about him running down his contract. I think signing Jack up long term and keeping Morgan for at least this season will work out better than us accepting £200k for (probably) our best player. Sell him for more than the figures being quoted though, and that'll be almost £1m banked in less than 6 months. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, very inexperienced but he's apparently one of a number of targets that were looking at according to James Fowler. A defensive midfielder was the position I'd mentioned I'd like to focus on us getting a bit of cover in (presuming that Loy at CF and Davis at CB are our two main targets) and that appears to be his preferred position.
