Surely if you’ve seen something in him that makes you think he could make it in the PL you back your judgement to more than £250,000.

£250k is a lot of money when buying a yoof from St Mirren.

It will be a little bit higher we have now agreed and a decent sell on %
 
The funds allocated could be a positive indication that we’ve sold Silva, though a break from the norm that we’ve reinvested the lot.
 
It's a huge sum for a kid who's going to help us avoid relegation to League 1...
 
We're currently £63m in profit for this window so far.

We'll make a decent profit on Sa vs Johnstone when he goes to Saudi Arabia too. Take off £500k for Sutherland and £5m for the young French CB, and £10m for Johnstone and that still gives us around £47.5m profit.

Where's the money gone Fosun? We shouldn't be in trouble with FFP/PSR after the 23/24 season player sales. Maybe the rumours about the club not injecting the £30m owners allowance per season are true after all.

I don't know where to start with this other than your premise might be right but your maths are miles out.
 
I always thought the rule was clubs were allowed to lose £5m per season, unless the owners were covering the losses, in which case clubs could lose £35m per season.

I'm certain we're in the former camp.
 
Recent signings pointing the way for us having quite a youthful side in the Championship next season with another hundred million plus having been deposited in the Bank of Fosun at the end of this season.
 
Sounds like something you'd say just in case the Johnstone deal doesn't happen.
 
Sa and Johnstone would be a pretty strong 2 given our backups since promotion were an over the hill Ruddy, Sarkic who the manager didn't fancy and the not fit for purpose Bentley. There's no chance they will both be here once the Saudi window closes though. It's totally contradictory to the way the club is being run

"Wolves have acted on their interest by sending an offer of £250,000 plus add-ons for Sutherland. St Mirren are said to have immediately rebuffed Wanderers’ approach as they hope to keep hold of one of their highest rated prospects."


Fucking £250k!! 😂 We're such miserly cunts.


"Although predominantly a wide midfielder, Sutherland can also play in either full-back position, so he could offer great versatility for any potential suitor. The 18-year-old has made just four senior appearances for St Mirren but recently enjoyed a successful loan at Scottish League One side Alloa Athletic.

Sutherland, gaining his first regular experience of senior competitive action, scored two goals and made six assists in 18 matches for Alloa. The teenager will be looking to further his progression this season."


Another one for the LB list.... 🙄

It's Scotland.. we could buy St Mirren for that... they should count their lucky stars.
 
If Johnstone is coming in as back-up/competition for Sa and as a replacement for Bennett, then I would be reasonably happy. Next target, a CB PLEASE!!!

But if we’ve spaffed half our transfer budget on a spare keeper you’re not going to be happy. Misery awaits!

You wouldn't be saying that if you saw the absolute shite we have as back up to Sa in pre-season.

My point being is we’ve only got £20m to spend, why are we spending half of it on a backup goalkeeper when there are more pressing areas that need improving.
 
Didn`t see we only had 20m to spend, I revoke my last post. :)
 
The "we've only got £20m to spend" line could just be something the club has put out by way of expectation management so that when we end up spending ..say.. £30m.. enough Twitter sycophants will say how generous our overlords are.
