Expand No idea what he gets paid but i thought we paid money to sign him. Assume we planned on selling kelly & would have a good keeper in the Ox ready to step in. Would make sense that he is on a decent salary. Which still might be nothing like the figure quoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewarkfanclub Posted January 30, 2024 Report Share Posted January 30, 2024 The Kelly connundrum is an interesting one. Regardless of how much he is earning, he is clearly one of our top earners and most likely THE top earner. You'd like to think we would be able to get another decent keeper for the money we are paying him, but I dont actually know what the going rate is, so it might not be that easy. I thought we missed a chance by not trying to get Carson back when he left St Mirren as I think he is a better overall keeper, but given Kelly was still under contract at the time it probably wasnt plausible. We also dont know how good Oxborough is, or otherwise, it would be nice to find out before we have to head out into the market again. I wouldnt be against offering Kelly an extension, but I certainly wouldnt be improving terms. If he gets better offers elsewhere he may not want to stick around anyway and it will force our hand. Its going to be another busy summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly common knowledge, it’s conjecture. He may well have been offered very decent wages, most are. How many disclose these details? Nil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Posted January 31, 2024 Report Share Posted January 31, 2024 ...Devil's advocate, but Daws and Kettlewell could have a million targets and be speaking to them, but you can't force players to sign. It's the same when players leave at the end of their contracts - Their choice and often money talks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that all we can muster in the time all other strikers are gone. miss management is an understatement. Expand A few things on Stav Nahmani as a potential target. First of all, he's only just turned 21 years old. He's still young in football terms, so he's still improving. He's also not had much of a chance at St Mirren. He's only started two games or something like that. Also, how St Mirren play and how they utilise their strikers may differ from how we do. Also, we can only afford what we can afford. Finances and availability within the market during this window is a huge factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
