Widge Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Don't think that's a bad deal actually. Most will look at it as we're losing our captain for £500k, but with less than a year left on his deal, clearly no intention of signing on again and the fact that according to the report the deal could rise, it suggest we've got some decent incentives put into the deal, which hopefully include at least 10% sell on clause. As I said previously today, I actually think Kerr is the easiest one in the back 3 to replace, but we definitely need another in if he does go. That being said if they've known a while he was going, you'd hope they've got someone lined up, then again who knows. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

double deluxe Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Jamie Hamilton from Accies please. Year left on his contract, use some of that fee to get him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Aberdeen were put off at the price Hamilton quoted, so no way that's a goer, as nice as it would be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 As much as the Brown's are the best owners of a football club in Scotland, they don't half like to pish on the excitement chips with the 'we're affy poor, more need to go before we can get in' line that they seem to almost subliminally put out when they're not explicitly stating it. Shite laugh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fife Saint Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I realise there are broader contractual considerations but to me it still absolutely stinks to lose a player like Kerr with his record for a fucking pittance. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Hard to know what to think there. On one hand it's shite to lose a player like Kerr for £500k on deadline day. On the other hand getting £500k for a player we wouldn't even get compensation for in 12 months seems a great deal. Then on one foot you can't help but feel we couldn't lose someone we've put so much development in for nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tree house tam Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) Don't worry lads, the best defender is still at the club. In fact we've got more than one better than Kerr. Jason can't do much more at Saints anyway, club captain, scores on European debut away to Galatasaray, won the league cup, won the SFA showpiece trophy, in the top 6 etc etc. He could've walked away for nothing and kept his head held high, certainly goes with my best wishes anyway.

Mr Positive, sometimes. Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 If a player is leaving I couldn't really care where he goes especially if they're going down south. If it's 500k from Wigan, Bournemouth or Aston Villa it's the same 500k. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviemay17 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Didn't CD say that Liam Gordon was out for a while as well? The meh thing about Wigan is that it's easy to see them having a bang-average season when they finish in mid-table, they'll decide to change the manager and make wholseale changes next summer and then Kerr inevitably ends up at Hibs or Aberdeen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll be viewing it as a stepping stone and they’re not a club known to hold players back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very true actually, they don't seem the type of team to stop players moving for bigger teams down south. First thought was Cedric Kipre, who was raw as hell at Motherwell, but got a decent move from Wigan after 18 months to promotion winning West Brom at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any good young CD's coming through the youth system that could be then new Liam or Jason? Feels an area that we seem to do well in developing. Are well all absolutely sure Katic is away back Croatia as he would be an ideal replacement. If not, someone like Deas from ICT might not be a bad replacement for a smallish fee.
