When in the same breath he’s saying about Bowie being worth £6.5m….. get yersel to fk Andy.

When both of those poisons have recently bought Idah for £9m and Chermiti for £9m and TJ quoted for £3m utter baws!!

I didn't say it was my valuation of Tawanda, but 3m is still a decent wedge, he is worth more imo

The sooner we get to the end of the transfer window the better. 
Between that and Trump “Ma heids aboot tae burst”

The quicker we get shot of Halliday the better if I was a manager I would not be wanting my players sat actively celebrating other teams in our leagues goals don't care wither they are a fan or not and slating other teams players on their podcast. Now he's talking valuations of his own teams best players. It's a shame cos he seems like a good guy around the dressing room but his social media stuff draws unnecessary headlines for the club.

Why does anyone think that anything Halliday says in a podcast will have any relevance to what fee Maswanhise goes for?

His goals, the length of contract and how big Brian Caldwells balls are, are really the only factors.

Everyone just needs to chill oot a bit!

It's not going to have any effect on the fee,the problem is halliday has just created an unnecessary headline for a player that for all we know could start to be getting unsettled with all the speculation,he should be keeping his mouth shut.

If the club was worried about it they would ask him to stop.

While he sometimes crosses the line, I think he's a net benefit for all the positive stories he tells.

This weeks presser with JBA will be a fun one if the JT stuff comes up again.

I'm not a huge fan of open goal, but Halliday has been a positive for us and generally speaks well about the game. As said above, he'll know what he's not allowed to talk about, and there's been a few times where he has refused to go into detail about certain things. 

The rags are desperate to make something happen with JT, and we've seen them run with tranfer links for literal years, so you just have to ignore it. I'm very sure that even bin fires of clubs dont take transfer advice from hacks wo are desperate to fill up column inches with AI slop.

A large factor in a transfer fee is the length of contract and what the players current terms are. Think of it as compensation for the selling club to replace the player. There's other market factors that come into play, as well as how desperate a club is to sell, but when you see a club like Hearts or Hibs get bigger fees than us for similar players, the length/value of their contract is a big part of it. 

The player is also going to be more expensive the further up the food chain they go because they've proven themselves at a higher level. 

On our players, we will have our valuation, and when that's met, we will sell them. That's the model we're trying to follow.
