From that article, it sounds to me like all the Saints need to do is match the price we paid for a 1st Division footballer, who's now an established SPL player. :33:

Grew up a Rangers fan but, when I moved to England for University, realised just how disgusting the bigotry was. Supported St Mirren then as they were my closest team but they never really did it for me. I had moved to Inverness and liked Clach but when the merger happened, ICT became my main team. As it was, ICT's first match was against St Mirren, so had to declare my allegiance straightaway. Living in Egypt, I also support Ismailia. They're like the Aberdeen to the Old Firm of Zamalek and Ahly. In England, I've also flirted around the teams. Notts Forest (success) and West Ham (family) as a boy, then Everton as they seemed full of Scots. Also, follow some teams due to their players or manager (e.g. Matt le Tissier, Paul Sturrock's Plymouth) Chris

He's on good money at the moment and I'm sure could renegotiate his contract too. He's probably enjoying competing in Europe and for titles. Something he won't do at Spurs. If he continues to play well, then he'll get at least that deal offered to him again. If he goes backwards (I'd suggest unlikely), then he's still playing for one of Europe's biggest clubs. To me, he just can't lose. I'm still shocked Hutton's playing at right-back. Move him into a rampaging midfielder and he's be worth even more! Chris

Seems to me he's been temporarily promoted. Never really understood the criticism Frail got considering his lack of power and influence. Chris

Missed them myself but....um, mininova....? Chris

1. Celtic 2. Rangers (the real battle now) 3. Aberdeen 4. Hearts 5. Hibs (these three could be in any position) 6. Dundee Utd (Levein's got them going now) 7. Kilmarnock (I think 8-10 in any order - couple of games can make all the difference) 8. Inverness 9. Motherwell 10. Falkirk (and the battle for relegation...) 11. Gretna 12. St Mirren (sorry Saints - my nearest team but you just don't have the players this season) Chris
