edinburghowl Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 He has a bit of the Mackail smith about him. Always a difficult one to judge with Scottish strikers though as it's a real mixed bag. May is this summers Johnny Russell who did ok for derby but I thought he may do better. I hope we've scouted him properly anyway Considering Dundee United have sold a couple of their best prospects for several million pounds when they are relatively unproven, £800k or thereabouts would be a steal for arguably the best striker and hottest young property in the SPFL. His contract status is in our favour but I will be surprised if Saints accepted less than 7 figures. The one thing that concerns me is he is a Perth boy playing for his local team with all the local comforts around and sometimes young laddies don't adapt to moving away. There's no doubting his ability though. He's a very grounded young man too which is a rarity for footballers these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 You can't argue with his goals record, although even Nuhiu could score goals up there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airborne_rat_of_s6 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Fact that this is all so public would lead the cynic in me to believe this is all more club BS and this is just to appease the fans. See us missing out to someone like roverrum when he finds out he is on £100 a week plus a nandos discount card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 At the moment I just hope we sign any f****r up top. A front pairing of Madine and Nuhiu is just about as bad as it gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigOwl Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 How is the level of the Scottish premiership compared to the championship.? No doubt he has talent no matter what. If you compare it with bottom half championship or top half L1 that puts him in the same category as Sam Baldock at Bristol City or ALF was at toy town. That makes May worth a lot more than £800k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F. Spiksley Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Come on, is that really likely to happen with that haircut Explain the Bee Gees to me then. My mum once said, I lie not, in front of me dad when Barry Gibb was on Top of the Pops that she wouldn't kick him out of bed for farting. I'm sure local lasses would feel the same. My mums from Rovrum though so there may be some cultural differences. Can't be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
