djchapsticks Posted January 30, 2023 Author Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) 42 minutes ago, elvis said: The Imps have been linked with a permanent deal for St Mirren midfielder Ethan Erhahon. Midfielder Erhahon is hot property in Scotland, having represented their Under 21 team, but he’s been the subject of intense speculation over the winter window. Oxford and Forest Green have both allegedly had bids lodged for the player, with a six-figure bid from the latter accepted. It seems the player may not have fancied the move as it hasn’t materialised, and now we’re at the head of the queue. The Glasgow-born 21-year-old is out of contract this summer, and it’s believed St Mirren are hoping to cash in now, rather than risk getting a lower fee courtesy of the tribunal system later in the year. Jez George is reported to have visited St Mirren this weekend to watch the midfielder, with a bid seemingly having been prepped. Football League World have tweeted that a £300,000 deal has been agreed upon; my understanding is the actual figure is some way south of that. So who is this source exactly? A Lincoln supporter? You mention over on BAWA that this person 'seems to be in the know' but there's nothing there that suggests that whatsoever apart from the phrase, 'my understanding is'.

My understanding is also that £300k is not the figure. It's closer to £500k. So who are you believing now? I've provided the same amount of sources that this randomer did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AW saint Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 It is going to be a very interesting last day of the window. Hope we have targets lined up if players go out the door. Still don't think Watt will happen. Hoping Baccus stays as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reasonable to assume that Robbo likes to be more in control. He did his business very early in the summer. We know why Brophy has been allowed to go and I suspect Robbo was happy with the squad, until Ayunga got injured. Ethan was always gonna go, and Reid leaving doesn't impact the team. It's a real shame if this great balancing of the books gets undermined by a total freak injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G_&_T Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 It's terribly sad that a player would opt to play for a League One English club, than remain at St. Mirren. If folk talk about 'the shop window' then I would suggest plying one's trade in the top-flight in Scotland would provide a player with more media exposure. But what do I know? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are no clubs in the English Championship interested and three League 1 teams have only shown an interest, it kind of shows you where he's rated down there. Maybe no championship team see him ready as a first team regular. Better money and better platform along with his desire to play in England, this will put him Infront of bigger clubs who may show interest in a year or two down the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttocks Brown Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 What's the attitude then, going into today, of those who have been criticising the board's lack of financial prudence? 1. Aim for top 4 / 6 and spend money on a new player or two. 2. Finances first: we're likely safe from relegation so use the Academy boys. Has to be the latter? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if we go on a losing run the others will soon catch up. 10 points ahead is nothing. Reid was deemed the closest academy player ready for the midfield and he is away. We need to bring in replacements capable of keeping us in the top 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 It's up to £380k now, which just goes to show that figures are being plucked out of the air and the only parties who will know for sure are the 2 clubs, the player and his agent. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
