Guest UpTheOwlsss Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Can I say if this happens I'm buzzing Antonio did naff all last season His end product at times is awful Yes he has some strengths like his strength for example and he can also now and again produce the goods but for me on the right mid chris Maguire is a better player More consistent better shot and cross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flat Owl Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Some of them goals are better than any of our strikers have scored in years, I hope this pulls off The boy likes a shot on target - in recent times only Maguire has had the nads to put his foot through the ball - often with sensational results - that spectacular effort against the Dingles in the last minute last year a particular favourite.

oh_weds_we_love_you Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I think I'd prefer us making a million profit in two years like we appear to be doing with MA rather than selling for peanuts. We can't even make a £1m profit on the player we're just about to sell to Forest. What makes you think we could should we buy/sell May in the future?

I don't think that he is vital to our current squad though and if all the money realised is appropriately reinvested then I can see it improving the squad.

djorkaeff Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 May is a really good signing on a good long contract. He's good in the air and can shoot. We would need wide cover still as a minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagmeister Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) We can't even make a £1m profit on the player we're just about to sell to Forest. What makes you think we could should we buy/sell May in the future? Rumours are that we will make c£1m profit on Antonio but in fairness nothing is concrete and perhaps the true figures will never be known. I'll judge the success of the transaction on who the sale allows us to bring in and how they perform. Edited August 6, 2014 by Dagmeister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 May is a really good signing on a good long contract. He's good in the air and can shoot. We would need wide cover still as a minimum. Are we talking someone who is a replacement for Nuhiu here? I know it's a squad game, but do we think he will be a likely starter, or mainly used from the bench. Our squad packed with central midfield players, plus the pursuit of the French lad, suggests it will be five across the middle and only one up front. Does he play that role for St Johnstone?

Guest UpTheOwlsss Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Exactly probably seems like I'm Being bitter but I'm genuinely not Before any of this news he wasn't in my 11 for Brighton Granted he would come off the bench But he's not all that Btw may set to sign Friday I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that SG likes to vary tactics. He rates Nuhiu so I'd still expect him to feature regularly if not in all games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinburghowl Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 As someone who's probably seen quite a bit of him, would you say he was quick, or is he more of a poacher He's no slouch but not pacey like an Antonio or JJ. Best way to describe him is he's a natural finisher. Decent with both feet, a box predator and a clever wee player too that makes intelligent runs. He's one of those strikers that has the knack of being in the right place at the right time. Personally I would be very pleased if we signed him.

bexhill owl Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 1m profit there's only a couple of things wrong with that. Sell on clause, reading get a chunk. Wages etc... We've spent money on Antonio over his time with us I very much doubt we're making a large profit. In football terms 1m is f all money nowadays.

S36 OWL Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 If we can sign this lad, who lets be honest, knows where the net is , even though he`s been playing in a pub league, and pray Milan gives Gray the rest of the cash to bring in another 2 quality players , then we could have the makings of a half decent side, and some positivity may return. It all depends on weather Milan gives Gray ALL the cash to spend. I also fell the french lad will be the first player through the door once Florist have shown us the colour of their money.

oh_weds_we_love_you Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Rumours are that we will make c£1m profit on Antonio but in fairness nothing is concrete and perhaps the true figures will never be known. I'll judge the success of the transaction on who the sale allows us to bring in and how they perform. We paid £850k for Antonio. We paid x amount signing on fee to Antonio. We could well own Reading 25% of the fee we receive for Antonio. The figure we have accepted from Forest is mainly stated as £1.5m. Take £850k fee and say £50k signing on fee from £1.5m. You have £600k. That is before we know whether Reading have a sell-on clause fee owed to them and before we know the exact fee agreed with Forest (we'll probably never know that, I wonder why!). How much did Antonio cost in wages? 2 seasons at, say £8k a week seem fair? That is £832k spent on Antonio in wages. Not sure where this £1m profit is (which is still peanuts for an over-inflated market for English players that we currently live in). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money spent on Antonio since his signing have contibuted to promotion and staying up. You can still get bargains for under a miliion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
