i think those counting the cash from the Armstrong deal would happily disagree with you. or else would like to have more than few "unsuccessful" signings like him. |

When did we loan Jonny Hayes? And I’d say 5/9 of them at least did a job. |

Little over £8m in fees spent. What we will eventually make back from the Armstrong transfer. What most of us are trying to say is that there is little ventured and minimal risk. There would have been similarly with James McCarthy. Pushing at an open door with boys who are Celtic fans. Nobody can say with any certainty how any of that top four will eventually work out at Celtic either. |

We can afford it now as well. Sure we knocked McCarthy back because we were spending £2m on Ki. |

we knocked back McCarthy because Mowbray didn't fancy him as a player - story I heard was that Hamilton offered us McCarthy, McArthur and Easton for a combined total of £1 million, as they were desperate for the money, but Mowbray knew better!! |

I dunno about that but Tony Watts goal against Barca alone made his fee completely worthwhile. We made a nice profit on him too. Stokes gave us a good return on our 800k too. Hendry and Morgan still have to ask for directions to CP. They're barely in the door in footballing terms. Hayes was starting to turn the corner when he broke his leg. Armstrong was a good signing. Allan was worth it just to watch the huns lose it. A tactical signing if ever there was one. That leaves Ciftci and GMS. Both busts. |

The only one on that list who turned out to be a complete and total failure is Ciftci. Hendry, Hayes, Christie, and Morgan could all go either way at this point. GMS and Watt cost us peanuts and were never really what you could describe as duds, certainly not of Ciftci proportions. Armstrong and Stokes could probably be classified as successful signings. And although we didn't sign Griffiths directly from Hibs, he had played essentially his entire career in Scotland other than the six months before we signed him. He's up there with the best signings we've made from anywhere during that time frame. Scott Allan is a bit of a weird one. Definitely the second least successful signing on that list, and If we do let him go for nothing then it's probably another failure, albeit a cheaper one than Ciftci. But if we include him in the McGinn deal, or fetch a chunk of the money back from Aberdeen or whoever then it's not exactly one that'll have done us much damage in the long run.

He means that part of the fee for Hayes included Chrisite going to the sheep for a season. As for McGinn, it would depend on the price for me. Can't say I'd be willing to pay much more than £1m for him given his contract status. Hopefully if we get him he can prove to be good enough but I think he's more of a squad filler than a regular starter who will improve us. |

Why do you care how much we pay for him? I'd rather not sign him but if Rodgers wants him and we get him then I don't really care how much we pay for him. Paying an extra £1m or whatever for McGinn isn't going to make any difference to our ability to bring in defenders. |

And two seasons before McArthur went to Wigan we had invested £4.4m in Scott Brown who is and always has been streets ahead of McArthur even when he was playing with an injury for the best part of a season under Deila |

You think he is on more than Mackay-Steven? Did we struggle to give him away? |

Mainly because we are a club with limited funds and we could use the extra money elsewhere. McGinn plays for a Scottish club and will be on a low wage so there is no need for us to pay much for him. We can wait 6 months and sign him for free if we wanted to. |

Jack Hendry, £1.2m, Jan 2018 Lewis Morgan, £340k + loan, Jan 2018 Jonny Hayes, £1.3m + loan, Jun 2017 Ryan Christie, £500,000 + loan, Aug 2015 Scott Allan, £275,000 + loan, Aug 2015 Nadir Ciftci, £1.5m, Jul 2015 Stuart Armstrong, £1.75m, Feb 2015 Gary Mackay-Steven, £250,000, Feb 2015 Tony Watt, £100,000, Jan 2011 Anthony Stokes, £800,000, Aug 2010 Never really thought about it like this. That's an interesting post. Around an 8mil spend? Looks like the sales of Watt and Armstrong see us break about even with 5 players still on our books. |
