2025/26 Ins & Outs Discussion

KVV and Higdon were top of goal scoring tables for us . When we sold them they both reverted to type pretty much immediately and never had seasons scoring like the ones they had with us. 

TJ is scoring all right but look at they way the rest of the team are playing to allow him the opportunity to score the goals.

Is he really worth the millions being talked about after one really good season ?

John Sutton, another good example.  Scoring regular for us but went to Hearts and didnt cut it there. Came back to us and started scoring regularly again. 
Definitely a lot depends on your team Mates and what style/tactics your team plays.
Perhaps a similar situation for Watt, absolute standout player in our team but would he excel if he moved to Rangers? 
However, bottom line, individual will have much better take home pay after a transfer. Other consideration (or gamble) is wait longer to move amd make even more money after a transfer.

Yes. And it's up to the suitors to take that gamble. The great thing is, the club have no pressure to sell (at least this window). I'd expect him to move on in the summer however and I'd be hoping to recoup miller money or close to it.

If you had asked me a few months ago if he was worth it i would have said no. However, he's 23 & getting better & better. Potential suitors are speculating on a rising comodity. Unlike KVV or Higdon.

 

If someone wants to eclipse the Miller fee, then its all good news for us & the player.

Hearts completely wasted him by playing him as a lone striker with little or no midfield support. He was never the most mobile and was like a fish out of water at Tynecastle.

Every club is looking for a goalscorer, so any one that comes into that category and is still only 23 has got to be worth upwards of 10 million. Why should we always seem to sell ourselves short?

It might be heresy, but I'm still not convinced JT is that good.

He's obviously having a fantastic season with us (as is the entire squad), but he still seems quite raw and drifts out of games for long periods of time.

He could go on to much bigger and better things, or he could revert back to an 8 goals a season kind of player.

It's a gamble for any team signing him, but I'm more than happy to keep him as long as he wants to stay.

I feel the same he's a good player but there's parts to his game I look at and wonder how replicable his form will be. If we could get 5-6M for him I think that's probably his ceiling in terms of transfer value.

We are in a very fortunate position where we now have a number players who could easily go for fees in the not too distant future. 
 

In years gone past we might have one or two who might go for a big fee, right now I could count 5 or 6 could go for a fee. 
 

Maswanhise, Watt, Fadinger Just and Said.

I really hope we keep them for next season. What a great group of players as a team and individually.  Been a while since we have had so many talented players in the team at the same time. We had a few years there where we struggled to have even 1 player who could pass or control a ball amd now look at us !!!
