Sortmeout Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 30 minutes ago, Derry Alli said: No, not at all. @FTOF used to quote me laughing at a few of your posters claiming you'd get £3m+ for Bacchus after he played against Argentina or Accies. I find it strange he's now saying he's never seen anybody say £3m. It's almost like he genuinely believed it at the time. Whilst my sentiment is the same as yours I can’t remember anyone generally calling out £3 million as the price. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually £4m which was posted by more than one poster. I actually got the figure wrong. Truly heady days.

Wait is this one of those 'X amount for player, double it if it's Rangers or Celtic' type things that I do?

On 01/12/2022 at 12:38, djchapsticks said: We need to know the market that we operate in and the transfer fees that we can realistically demand but any club in the English championship shelling out £1m for him would be getting him at a total steal. He's tailor made for that style of football. In an ideal world we'd be asking a lot more for him but realistically, I'm not sure we could as other sides know a million quid to sides in Scotland outside the 5 biggest clubs is always going to be taken very seriously. If it was a million or thereabouts, I'd be hoping we'd make sure there's at least a 25% sell on in there as well. The boy has far too much upside for that not to be a must. On 07/12/2022 at 12:33, djchapsticks said: In terms of bargaining position for a guy who, let's be honest, as soon as we saw him playing we all knew early doors wasn't going to be with us long-term, the World Cup really couldn't have gone better for us. He could have went off with the Aussies, got 2 mins here or there and we'd have been getting the same talented player back and possibly some of the interest that comes with it (as bear in mind he still had his fanciers before the WC) and we'd have been weighing up that same old question we always ask: 'Is he worth losing for half a million quid, he only has a year left' etc. But the key difference here is that he put himself in front of a worldwide audience as a rookie against some of the best teams in the world and didn't look out of place whatsoever... those clubs who were interested before would have been willing to pay about a quarter of what we can feasibly ask for him now. We're now potentially able to ask for genuine 'can't knock that back' cash. I'd love to keep him for the full two years, he's that good and that important to us, but sometimes if the money and interest is there then you really do need to strike when the iron is hot and our strategy in terms of budget more or less banked on something like this happening (though I'm sure not nearly as successfully).

GAD Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Derry Alli's triumphant return to the St Mirren thread since he went into hiding following two consecutive seasons of incorrectly tipping us for the drops and also insisting we would never make top six this season not going very well then?
