Replacing good players is always difficult for us. We want to keep as many of them as possible.
Luckily Ron knows this too. Other clubs can either meet our valuations or they can bolt.

Thread: Knock-On Effect of Doig Sale

Doig's big money sale will also give a number of other key players the itch.. ie, it'll have them thinking about their big pay day move..
This is the negative impact of such a big money move for a guy who has only played one season

I think it will provide the funding and cash flow to fund:-
- centre half - likely McCart
- Mueller - get it done now not Jan
- Striker - most difficult position but would also mitigate Nisbet going. Shankland would be a great signing but I can’t see it.
Therefore not only would squad be stronger but would mitigate late departure:-
- Boyle with Mueller in.
- Nisbet with new striker in and Mueller ability to play up front t
- Porto with day McCart and then another centre half say Jason Kerr
Boyle leaving would be the biggest impact and unfortunately we have the least amount of control assuming buy out correct.
A big fee would also compensate for the losses last year and is good business. It would also give us flex in Jan window probably more than most teams.Last edited by Col2; 02-08-2021 at 11:10 AM.

I'm just not seeing what some see in Shankland. He has looked average at best for utd. He certainly wouldn't get in the team before Nisbet or Doidge and if we were looking at a replacement for Nisbet there is no doubt in my mind that he would be a big step down quality wise.

If he goes for £4M
Left back - young and ambitious
Centre back - experienced but under 25
Striker - young and ambitious

I'm a bit confused by the desire to get Shankland in from some. Has has done enough in the SPL to warrant us spending what would be a huge transfer fee, and then presumably massive wages?
I don't think he's worth it. One of the things I've been impressed by Nisbet is his touch, ability in the air and general work rate. I thought he was just a goal scorer but he's got a lot to his point game. I'm not sure we create enough chances to allow someone like Shankland to thrive.

We are in an excellent position financially. Credit to Petrie, STF and of course Ron.

You know what I mean though. Did anyone come in for Brown or Thomson in their first season?
I know we got good money for them both but they were a lot more established than Doig when they left. Same with Kenny Miller or Steven Fletcher.
Anyways, I wasn’t having a dig at Petrie or STF, more trying to pay RG a compliment!

I doubt we will go on any kind of spending spree. Appropriate small fees will be paid for young up and coming players (Nisbett, Mackay) and the rest will be used to shore up finances following Covid and reinstating the investments in the stadium (large screen, digital ribbon etc).

I think unlike previous occasions, we’re really going to see the money being reinvested.
I think looking at Aberdeen they look like they’ll be good this year and have bought very well. We’ll need to push on again if we have hopes of coming third.
No doubt if we sell Doig that we’ll bring in guys like Mueller and McCart though.
My real fear is losing Nisbet/Boyle as they’d be extremely difficult to replace.

I'd try and get Boyle on a better contract without a release clause and Id also improve Nisbet's contract without asking for him to extend longer. Id love Porto to sign a new deal hes still young for a CH.

I suspect we have deals agreed before we went public on Doigs impending departure

We're clearly seeing proportionate spending under Gordon.

Boyle gets Hibs and you can see how much he loves playing for us, his attitude is similar to Gray, Daz, Lewis and Hanlon and I can see him seeing out his career here. A settled player is happy player, he plays with a smile on his face and is integral to the atmosphere in the changing room, give him a wage rise and extend his stay.
