kni Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 The fact that May is still young enough that St Johnstone will get compensation provided they offer him a contract means him being out of contract is largely irrelevant. May being at the club for so long means the compensation due would be too much for us and you only have to look at Bradford being shafted recently to know the board won't risk going to a tribunal. Indeed. Saints have asked County for £200k to tear up Brittain's PCA. They will not let May go on the cheap but might be interested in swap deal for one of our top players. It's going to be a long pre-season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
read'n'yell Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Would love to see Harkins and May sign, don't think we will but it depends how much we can push the boat out. We seem to be financially very stable now so perhaps can push on other SPL clubs wages. Graham is a good signing, probably not a first choice striker but certainly causes teams defenses nightmares and chases every ball. Appeared to run out of steam most second halfs but I guess that is down to his work rate. As far as Doolan is concerned, I'd rather we get May and Harkins. May has scored 25 goals for a crap, defensive, Hamilton team and Harkin's record since joining Dundee (16 points to Kilmarnock's 10 points) speaks volumes.

allyo Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 May's contract with Saints expires in June according to Sky Sports. He scored a lot of league goals in a mediocre team - more than Doolan and Craig together. I think you have to put that in context. Doolan and Craig virtually never played together, and scored about 30 goals between them. That means we got 30 goals this season from a single position (our number 9, main striker). Effectively Doolan and Craig's combined record is comparable to and as impressive as Stevie May's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Third Lanark Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Brian deserves his chance with an SPL club - a bit surprised we have been able to pip Dundee United. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Brian deserves his chance with an SPL club - a bit surprised we have been able to pip Dundee United. Brian May? Now that would be some signing! A real breakthru, in fact. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjU-XVcbX_A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindau Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Doesnt mean we cant sign him today but according to this, his contract with Raith doesnt end until the 15th http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/brian-graham/profil/spieler_36709.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thriller Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Is this the same Brian Graham who said he was going to do his best to make sure Morton won the league cos they were the best team in the league and would be worthy champions ?

Sorry Brian but my memory is a bit better than a lot of folk on here.I for one will not be welcoming you to Firhill. Really? He was probably asked a question based upon the fact that he played for them, and answered accordingly. I'd rather look to the fact that he had a good scoring record against Morton, which assisted our promotion effort! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Brian but my memory is a bit better than a lot of folk on here.I for one will not be welcoming you to Firhill. When he said that he was a former Morton player, and no doubt still friends with a lot of that morton team. Absolutely no problem with him saying he wanted them to win the league. Id expect him to say that hopes Raith Rovers or Morton win the first division next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

read'n'yell Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I recall reading him saying it in the build up to our 0 - 0 draw in Kirkcaldy, think he was just trying to do a bit of a wind up and add some pressure on to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pie Of The Month Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 "I hope Morton go on and win the title. I will go out against Partick Thistle and hopefully score again" is hardly he was going to do his best to make sure Morton won the league cos they were the best team in the league and would be worthy champions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cup Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I was hoping for a link to the Record. I also heard he said he didn't care who won the league from the same game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
