bluenose_72 198 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Another thing people should remember is that we have the lure of Champions League football. That is where players like Petrov will want to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cumbria_blue 51 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 To bring him in on 40,000 per week wages would be really short-sighted. We'd only get a couple of seasons out of him, and we'd struggle to make any money on him.I think that if 90% of the positive news is to be believed, as well as the money we'll get from a the sale of Bougherra which is imminent, maybe we can afford one signing of that ilk.Sorting our left wing problem with Martin Petrov would be erotic.I agree he's a great player I just have my pessimistic hat on As for all this positive news, my internet hasn't worked for a few days so Im unaware of the complete up to date situation. I only found out that Novo had left when I saw the front page of the Daily Record on monday! Anyway if Bougherra leaves, surely we would need a new CB?

js42 4 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Would like him to sign. But I think 40k is far too much when we could get the likes of Ledley from Cardiff for around 25k, who has a good future ahead of him and could make us a good profit if we sell.

gersfan 5 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I can't see us offering ANY player more than about £25k to be honest. If we managed to convince Petrov to come for that (unbelievably unlikely) I think it would be the best signing the SPL has seen in years. The guy is absolutely quality and would rip the SPL to shreds, as well as making a huge difference in the Champions League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd then be asking Davie Weir to play every game again this season. Not ideal imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
docspiderman 1,254 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Silly season is up and running.His wages alone would take up 12.5% of our total "agreed wage bill" not to mention blowing our player wage threshold. In the real world he would never come to the spl(and please nobody come out with the Champions League nonsense). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdunsmb 43 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 31, struggling with injuries and 40k a week...........on the other hand, an excellent player with all the attributes we are missing.

Jimfanciesthedude 24,779 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Doubt it, but it would be a cracking signing.£5 on Walter playing him anywhere but left wing though he's back up for weir and webster since boughie and wilson are already gone (according to the rags) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
