Grant Russell was saying a short time ago that if the 2 million fee was accurate we should be getting 75 to 80k. Essentially he was discussing the FIFA Solidarity Mechanism, to quote him "Each time a player moves cross border for a fee, 5% of it is distributed to the clubs where they spent the ages of 12 to 23. This applies for all future transfers cross border. If a player trained by Club A is now moving from Club C to Club D, Club A will get their slice. The amount is percentage based, calculated depending on the training years. Signing clubs have 30 days to pay up." While it might not be a massive fee I suppose it's nice not to be left empty handed.

I think it was Graeme McGarry yesterday that said we were the players preferred destination but we were simply not willing to compete with the wage demands Killie and Midden were offering.

Yeah, he played great in the Scottish Cup Quarter Final Replay against Dundee United at Fir Park and scored in that game as well. We actually tried to sign his old team mate Danny Cadamateri but we were gazumpted at the last minute, as per.

According to Scott Burns and Graeme McGarry we went all out to try and get KVV a few weeks ago only to realise that St Mirren had already been sniffing about and offered far more dosh. His run of goals last year was a delight to watch but I just don't see him repeating that, I think Killie will get to enjoy the Kev we saw for the best part, one week magic then the next massively frustrating. Obviously we aren't privy to finances and such but a few reliable sources were saying Killie pushed the boat right out to pick up the tab for the majority of his wages, they must fancy their chances of getting a European spot secured.

Too many people getting their Y fronts in a twist. I thought we were one decent striker away from having a good window. We added Obika the day after last year quickly followed by the likes of Casey and Butcher, hopefully we still have some irons in the fire.

That's Van Veen to Kilnockie official.

Apparently we are out of the running for KVV according to Graeme McGarry as St Midden and Killie are offering double the money.

The last forward we signed on loan from Blackburn did not fair too badly. Nick Blackman had like 29 appearances and 3 goals to his name before arriving here.

Montgomery is away back to Sellick.

I know the forward position is more pressing atm but I see Danny Wilson is on the verge of joining Queens Park, he might have been a decent addition to shore up the back but then again we have plenty options there.

Least they can implement the old 2-3-5 formation. I know they were trying to get rid of Stevie May and Jephcott and one other.

St Johnstone are about to sign a striker from the Northern Premier League, delving way down the tiers in England for talent. I feel quite calm about it all as it's not unusual for us to get many bodies in on transfer deadline day.

Surely Colin Meldrum must pip him in that queue. He had some absolute clangers for us and I know he done the same at Rugby Park.

I seem to remember O'Hara signed a pre contract with them around March time in 2022. I can't remember him getting much stick tbh but he thoroughly enjoyed Lamie's late equaliser against Livi which secured the top 6 place for us after it. St Mirren seem to have plenty of money to burn, I liked O'Hara but I don't think it was worth paying a premium for both him and Mandron.

Well we're 1 point better off than we were after 22 games last season, four teams were all stuck on 20 points at the bottom at this stage, so its nice to see a side marooned at the bottom. Not trying to temp fate but you would think Livi would struggle to get back into things esph with the likelihood of them losing some key players this week, it'll be interesting to see how the match vs County goes tonight. Obviously Killie have been much improved this campaign despite the likes of Rory McKenzie still getting game time, the game at Fir Park earlier in the season was the proverbial game of two halves whereas the game at Rugby Park was a hard watch as we shoehorned people into positions they clearly weren't comfy with. It'll be interesting to see who we bring in this week, anyway hopefully we make it the third win at Fir Park on the bounce and get that feel good factor back.

Yeah, in the league he has featured in 20 games scoring 3 goals. Still Lillian Gish tbf.

Yeah, I heard that last week also and it has been in the works for a while. They paid over the odds for O'Hara and Mandron recently so won't be too surprised to see him rock up in Paisley.

Did he not just manage United for a season in the Premiership?

Felt we comfortably controlled that second half, hopefully we can add to the attacking front asap.

FT 1-1

Another great chance for Paton.

It'll be interesting to see the replays of there goal as it looked well offside with Considonkey interfering with play. Delighted for big Bair.

BAIIR

Big chance for Bair,

1-0 to St Johnstone already.
