Think Celtic had 10% in their deals for wanyama and VVD. Worked out well for them. I would say 10% is the minimum these days. If English and Welsh clubs want players from Scotland on the cheap, the least they can do is agree a healthy sell-on percentage. There’s a good chance they will never have to honour it, eg player leaves under freedom of contract, doesn't move for a substantially larger fee etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not buying into re-evaluating every player downwards based on one dire performance. Brophy was tremendous last season, hitting double figures in an injury-hit season playing lone striker. He did it well but it’s not his game. To get the best out him we owe it to him to recruit a number 9 or at the very least a number 10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilly Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Brophy is a good player when he has support up top look at him when Greg Stewart was in the team he has had no service we really need a good no10 to play off brophy he would be a big loss these players got us to where we are we didn’t say that last year on Thursday night I didn’t have a clue what system aa was playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmonty3 Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Brophy is a good player. Strong and energetic. Pretty composed finisher. Good at penalties. Lacks a bit of strikers instinct. Goes to ground way to easily. Defo greedy on the ball too. Really needs a partner to get the best out of him i.e Stewart. Doesn't get himself into enough goalscoring positions for a centre forward. Actually preferred him playing on the right of the front three with Boyd and Jones two seasons ago. Would be very surprised if he makes it in England - above League One anyway. I think he's operating at just about the right level for his quality. That said, if he has the right support, could see him getting 10-15 goals again this season. Good player for us and we are a good club for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have concerns which have been building over the summer in relation to transfer activity, coaching staff composition and rumours of player dissatisfaction. Watching both 90 minutes, as well as both training games, I feel his leadership qualities are not overly apparent, his awareness of the individual strengths of our players is poor, the plan B non-existent, the tactical assessment of the opposition inadequate and the substitutions baffling. But I also accept that there are mitigating circumstances for some of this and this could easily just be an inauspicious start to a good job done. Totally different to Brophy who I have seen having a lot of really positive, committed performances. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season was really his breakthrough season as the go to guy. He’s still learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Miller Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 All he has converted lately is penalties, nothing from open play. I like Brophy but there is no one can defend any of these players for their Thursday night display with the exception of Burke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thebigguy68 Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 If they cover the petrol money, I’ll drive him to Cardiff myself. Fair price as I don’t think his stock will ever be higher as i think he’s had his one and only Scotland cap. Never accept first offer but £1.2 million would do it.

Rory McAllister has scored hundreds of goals but has never sought to challenge himself at a higher level than Brechin and Peterhead.

Dan1el Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Thursday is done and dusted we now need to get some bodies in for the Zombie game. Whereas in previous years we've waited I don't think Angelo has that luxury this year. We had to get business done early as even somone signing now needs time to bed in. I'm still 100% behind him but he's put himself under pressure early on, if we lineup with that same team the absolute best result we'd get would be a 0-0 draw with the keeper having to play out his skin. Need a few new faces to lift the place and football is a funny place, win 1st game of the season and it'll be talk of Europe again 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
