EcclesallOwl Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 The St Johnstone striker has been tracked by Championship rivals Rotherham United for the last nine months and the Millers were on the verge of sealing an £800,000 deal with the Perth club. But now Owls boss Stuart Gray has locked horns with newly promoted United in an attempt to lure the Scotland Under-21 star to Hillsborough. Gray, who faces a curtain raiser against Brighton this weekend, is determined to add firepower to his squad. And 21-year-old May, left, who snatched 27 goals in a dream Premier League debut campaign, has emerged as his number one target. Saints have been unable to persuade their home grown talent to pen a contract extension beyond next summer. And chairman Steve Brown knows the value of his prized asset will plummet without nailing down a new deal. Manager Tommy Wright had expressed surprise that Rotherham seemed to be the only name in the frame for his long-haired Scottish Cup winner. But when it emerged Saints were prepared to part company with May, Wednesday manager Gray wasted no time in firing off a bid in the region of £800,000 for the Perth striker, who has also netted in Euro ties with Norwegians Rosenborg and Swiss side Luzern.

LiamK2292 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Talks are ongoing with Rotherham... Nothing will happen anytime soon because St Johnstone are in the Europa League this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Be worth a punt after his record last year, Him and Ben10 and all is forgotten for flogging Michail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Snooty Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) I know, it's Scotland so it doesn't count but the lads got a decent record.... St. Johnstone - Apps 63 Goals 23 Alloa Athletic - Apps 22 Goals 19 Hamilton Aca - Apps 33 Goals 25 Career Apps 118 Goals 67 and as far as I remember Goalposts are the same size whichever League you play in.

From what I've read St. Johnstone want him to play this Thursday and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Can't say I've seen an awful lot of him , obviously scored a few last year but strange there isn't a clamour for his signature Will play in Europa league regardless on Thursday so could see it dragging into next week , but sounds like there just holding out for 800k which Toytown haven't offered yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Soccerbase, his record at St Johnstone is 54+25 appearances, 31 goals. He scored 27 last season in all competitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigash_swfc Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 He's a rough diamond - at 21 years of age. Fits Gray's plans of youth, if we go this route, instead of Sharp, Lita, Becchio etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I'd love him to sign. Followed him for a while and was jealous when hearing of Rovrums bid. Hope we get this lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better then! If he does a Steve McLean I'd be happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnchanter Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Well if we were genuinely interested and he still signed for Toytown it tells you everything you need to know about our current situation really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
