RandomGuy. Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Be sad to see him go, but realistically we shouldn't be turning down seven figure fees for youth products. May obliterating his knee, and seemingly his ability, should serve as a reminder of how fickle a footballers career can be. Not sure how we replace him, mind you. The fact Shaughnessy still hasn't signed up elsewhere maybe keeps that door open. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Woolshed Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I’d be really reluctant to see him go even for £1,000,000. At this stage that leaves us very light on options there for next year. And as RG says I’m not sure who we could get in that isn’t tied down on a contract for next season themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 You have to think that Wright has been preparing for the inevitable to be honest. We already knew we needed at least one centreback, just extend that to another if he does go and push comes to shove go have another chat with Joe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Club being crafty IMO, sell them Shaughnessy instead of Kerr. I like the thinking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewh Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Motherwell asking £3m for Turnbull. 9 clubs interested it seems. How does that compare with Jason Kerr and Saints? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broon_100 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 The way the transfer market in England is playing out these days I think we'd be looking for £1.5 million and a good sell-on clause of about 20-30%. He's easily worth that in todays market. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 1 minute ago, ali_91 said: As much as I rate Jason Kerr, he’s an absolute baller and has the potential to be one the best centre half’s we’ve had, Turnbull is two years younger, plays in a more attractive position, and has had a bigger impact. Incomparable just now imo. Agree. Turnbull almost singlehandedly turned Motherwell season's around - they were scrambling with diddies like Dundee until he came into the side - and ended up scoring about 15 goals from midfield last season. I like Kerr and demanding 7 figures is the way to go but I don't think there's much chance of us getting anything like £3 million for him. We should try doing what Motherwell did and say we wont accept less than a record fee for him though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 It’s the fact that he’s just signed a new 3 year deal that makes me think he’ll go for a high amount. The other players we’ve been selling have all had 12/18 months left, Kerr has double that and isn’t forcing a move as he knows saints will sell him for the right price and that there will continue to be high interest in him at his current level of performances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 £1.5m up front, try and wedge about £1m through caps/avoiding relegation/making so many appearances clauses. 30% of the next sale. I'd be happy enough with that. Should end up a record sale, gives us enough up front to replace him, and gives us the chance of more money trickling in over the next few years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Steve Brown secured £800,000 for Stevie May with 12 months left on his deal. Kerr has three years on his. Seems logical to me then that we only start talking at £2.4 million. In fact, with inflation, we'll round that up to £2.5 million. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fee was £800,000 but it was paid in two installments if that's what you are asking? The good news is that May technically only had 10 months on his contract, so I've revised Kerr's valuation, allowing for inflation, to £3.2 million. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paris Hilltoon Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Kerr, shouldn't even be entertaining Barnsley whether we accept a bid from them or not. If he does leave over the summer, big beautiful Liam strolls right in his place and we repeat again next summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
