red-or-dead Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 The striker spent a couple of days on trial at English Premier League outfit Arsenal last season and he would not rule out a move to England."I'm quite a homely guy and, to be honest, I don't think the time is right," said Naismith."I've only been playing professional football in the SPL for two seasons. It's hardly a lot of experience."England is one of the best leagues in the world and one of the hardest, so I would definitely consider it in the future."Sounds unlikely now to me!

Eddie Hitler Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 I took that as a real hint for us to get in there and sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_red Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 In the radio interview within that report he categorically says that he won't be moving to England - maybe sometime in the future - but not yet.He says he's a homely boy and only 20 - not much ambition there then.we should sign this homeboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at James Hayter, he didnt want to leave Bournemouth for us as he didnt want to "uproot"......next thing we know he's packed his bags and is in Doncaster!!The reason we wont get him is because we were never in the hunt for him in the first place! all the bo**ocks about the £1.7m bid etc, was all about helping to shift season tickets. As soon as the deadline passes, its all quiet on that front, and suddenly were back down to the less exciting bids of £250,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheshire_red Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Few clubs can afford to sign a youngster up on a 2 year contract for the sort of money Naismith is likely to cost. When his contract ends he can walk for virtually nothing as we wouldn't have been the 'training club' as Nibor keeps reminding people. If we are to spend that sort of money on a player of that age then we have to be sure he is going to attract attention in the future and therefore a sizable profit and sign on a much longer contract. If he isn't quite as good as we hoped and doesn't improve any (or worse can't cut it at Championship level) then we are goosed as he picks up a decent salary week on week.

Andy Horsman Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 He is imo 'one to watch', and could be a steal at £1m.If we get Naismith, Sproule and Commons, together with a combative midfielder, then I will be delighted!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tin Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Few clubs can afford to sign a youngster up on a 2 year contract for the sort of money Naismith is likely to cost.

If he isn't quite as good as we hoped and doesn't improve any (or worse can't cut it at Championship level) then we are goosed as he picks up a decent salary week on week.Firstly, if we signed him for a seven-figure fee and put him on a two year contract, that would be lunacy. For someone of his age and obvious potential, you'd be looking at three years minimum to protect the investment. It's a massive gamble but I reckon he'd prove a good investment for the future. Any expenditure would be enhanced by 10-15 goals in the Championship on debut season. Freddy Eastwood is a good example of this. He hardly set the Championship on fire last season but scored a reasonable amount of goals to suggest he'll get better at that level or higher to have other managers bidding for him.If we did somehow manage to sign him, which admittedly is very unlikely now, two season's totalling 30-35 league goals would represent a sizeable transfer tag for any potential suitors IMO.
