Why did you ask that?
Who suggested that?
All I have seen is a general comment that one of the English sides offered somewhere near half a million.
Nothing suggesting we were close to that.

Courier suggesting we have made a bid in that range (500k) which has subsequently been turned down. Seemingly Luton and Portsmouth in for him so you’d think we’d be big odds to sign him from here.

Yes, big odds against us signing him now Westies. I`d say we`ve about as much chance of getting Mackenzie Kirk`s signature as we have of finding a genuine portrait of Roy Barry signed by Rembrandt.

Knowing how much we have recruited already, it would be footballing and financial suicide for Saints to sell him to a potential rival were we to win the league.

The difference is Bord plays the odds.
If we pay 500k for a striker who does well - we sell to an English championship club for a 5 fold increase. We pay 200k for Fraser and sell him for a 10 fold increase.
It’s literally a different ball game right now for us.
We lose 3-400k on a few others. Still quids in.
Plus in 2 seasons we are in the Premiership. More money
And a fun fest for all on the way.
We should all strap ourselves in for the ride.
We are probably paying more for 3-4 peoples wages right now than the whole squad got a few years ago.

How on earth can st Johnstone turn down 500k?
That’s the difference with us now, financially we don’t have to accept low bids so if we do unearth a gem, we don’t have to accept low bids ie hibs with Nesbit.

Probably a good sign for the game in Scotland if players like Mackenzie Kirk are attracting such bids. Players going abroad, especially to Serie A and performing has helped raise their profile. Greater investment in the game, a lot of American owners another factor, plus the general inflation of prices of players in general.
Quite an optimistic time for Scottish football with much better performances in Europe from the non OF teams, looks like Aberdeen, Hibs, Hearts, United have some serious backing. Hopefully a more competitive top division which will raise standards and play a part in developing better players for the national team.
Or it might just be me bathing in the relative glory of still being on holiday, the Pars looking like a decent team finally and investing in what looks like some genuinely promising players.

It sounds like Kirk`s agent and St Johnstone are drumming up interest, as desperate as we are for a striker I`d be shocked if we were bidding anything close to that region of money.

This is my thoughts, plus the reports I have read stated that Portsmouth had made the £500,000 bid which was rejected and we had also had bids rejected, but no mention of how much.
I understand the interest in Kirk, and I think he’d be a good addition, but spending that much…..this has an agent all over it for me.

I complete agree we need an experienced striker but Kirk with only 38 games and 8 goals is hardly experienced! With 1 goal in every 4 games puts him in the Craig Wighton stats bracket- He could come good but it’s a risk! I reckon we need a Brewster type of Striker who’s been there done it and can help the youngsters improve their game onfield

i wouldnt pay that for Kirk but if the story is correct and the figure is in that ballpark then you would think it opens up a lot more options mainly down south and abroad.
another one up here might be Yengi at Livingston who have been looking to sell all summer?

Macleod, Caceres and Tod are attacking midfielders who can play up front if needed.
Only out and out strikers we have are Kane and Young.
I think with the addition of another striker the squad would be complete at the moment.

Macleods a striker that can play off the front/wings I believe. Kane and Young are our only out and out strikers.
Tod, Todd, Cooper, KRH, Caceres (from my understanding of him) are all attacking midfielders/wingers that can fill in if needed up there. KRH was actually a striker at Rangers I think, or at least a winger/striker, thats now moved back the way.
We need more out and out striking options. At least 1 more should be brought in, preferably a fairly experienced one.

We could get away with what we have just now and do well this season regardless.

I think the reason Kirk keeps getting a mention is because he fits the bill.
He’s young, he’s able and he’s likely to improve. I get the feeling that is what we are looking for these days

I still don`t get it. 35 games last season, 8 goals. That`s not a great return really and certainly doesn`t warrant a valuation of close to £1m. This season he seems to have been mainly used as a substitute. Are St Johnstone well covered with strikers?

He`s not getting much game time simply because there is so much interest in him, they have sufficient cover for this league and it`s not worth risking a £500k plus asset. Lennon was kept away from the Motherwell 1st team through pre season/cup for that very reason.

Reports elsewhere have also claimed that Dunfermline submitted an offer close to Peterborough`s quoted figure.
However, it is Press Sport`s understanding that any bid made by the Pars was significantly less than that figure

Saints fans on Pie and Bovril seem to be in the belief that if Kirk is sold they’re bringing in James Wilson on loan from Hearts 😂
James Wilson former Man Utd/Wigan striker is a free agent which is who it’s more likely to be.
Honestly some of the rumours flying around are crazy.
