We've apparently just refused an 800k offer for Stam. On sky sports. Norwegian club Viking. Says fell below our valuation and we aren't actively looking to sell him 

Obviously I have no idea what we paid for him but it won't have been £800k so that'd be some profit after one injury blighted season...

It would (if true, as they say).

Would leave us seriously short on strikers though, so unless we have a instant replacement who has been through a pre-season, it would be a big risk to let him go with the league about to start.

800k for Stam I would swim with him on my back to Viking for that and I like him as a player!

Take the money wedge down for Hale the rest would be history.

Agree with all of this, I like him, I think he’s a player but a £600k profit on a guy who’s been on a treatment table for a year? I think I’d grab it, and I’d offer it all to Ross County for Hale. Even Bair on loan I think ticks boxes to how JBA wants his strikers to play.

Theo Bair apparently getting loaned out by Auxerre with Dundee sniffing about - one-season wonder or did he do enough to be welcomed back to Fir Park in the new JBA-era?

Flash in the pan.

 

People have been complaining AP isn't suited as the striker in our new set up because his first touch isn't good enough so there's zero chance or it working with Bair, his first touch goes further than most people can kick.

His success was built on using his pace and strength with acres of space to run into while the rest of our team stood on Liam Kelly's toes, it absolutely won't work when we've got our goalie standing 40 yards from goal.

He's an absolute unit and some athlete but a football player he is not.

If the Stama rumours are true, we should be taking that money and laughing all the way to the bank. 

I agree, if the stories are true, as I've posted earlier I've never been convinced there's a player in him, he just looks disinterested most of the time he plays.

It would potentially be a great profit but only if we had a replacement lined up as our striking options are zero at the moment

Every player has their price and  these days I get the impression that clubs rarely put a bid in for players where there's no possibility of a deal. Agents are contacted before clubs to test the water..

We may not be "actively looking to sell" but you have to figure that Viking have a fair idea that we (and Stamatelopolous) are open to a conversation. On that basis, we probably have a contingency plan in place...

Not a fucking chance we take that Stama offer. 

We've no forwards as it is. Stama is getting a rough ride for hee haw.

I'm not giving him a rough ride. But half a million profit after one (injury hit) season. If the Miller money wasn't incoming and we had another striker worthy of the name, I reckon that bid gets accepted. But the Miller money is coming and, as you say, we have no other strikers so it's a very much different situation...

AP Stama has been very good in the role despite what people think. 

I agree. If offered £800k it's tempting but I think with a run of games and injury free he will be key player.  Kettlewell signed him then played him in headless chicken role.  JB playing him in correct position. 

However if viking upped bid to £1 ,000,000 plus add-on's it's very tempting

Agree totally to sell at slightly higher rate. Great piece of business. Though as in business never accept first offer. If they want him they will pay.
