Can't see anyone shelling out that kind of money. More like half a million tops. Keogh might be one of our best players but there are plenty of equally good players around who will be on a free, like Cranie. It would not be good but we are a selling club, so we would just have to accept it.
you may well be right, but i'm pretty sure Keogh can fetch a 7 digit figure... but I may be wearing Sky Blue tinted glasses
Turner didn't and he was a better defender. Also I believe on a longer contract.
He has one year left on his contract.
So if he doesn't sign a new deal this summer regardless of what division we are in, he will be sold.

Templerich - you don't like keogh because he's John terry like, throwing himself into last ditch tackles etc, but love McPake who does exactly the same minus keogh's pace and ability to be fit enough to play every minute or every game.
Tbh - Wood will be one of our highest earners and McPake wants to go back to Scotland - I can see a scenario where the only centre back we have remaining is Cameron.
Can't see us getting any more than £500k for keogh as he will be in te last year of his contract.
Hang on there mate, don't think I ever said 'I don't like Keogh', I actually think he's a very good defender and also a better player overall than McPake. My point was that I think with a fully fit McPake, I don't think we lose out too much. Despite what you say, I think there have been games McPake (in a stronger Coventry side too I might add) where he's been superb, making some outstanding challenges. I think you have to acknowledge the fact that he was made Captain of a strong Livingston side (that included Graham Dorrans and Robert Snodgrass) when he was only 21 and during 2009 was tipped for an International call-up.
Cranie equally as good as Keogh? No chance. Keogh is player of the year by a country mile. Cranie is shakey in terms of concentration and limited in terms of pace and aerial ability.
Agreed. Cranie has looked extremely average all season. Distribution is also very poor.
Disagree!
Cranie is our second placed player of the season behind Keogh. He's very solid and compliments Keogh well. He has also been played out of position most of the year, lest we forget.
Losing Keogh would certainly be a bad thing, because I'd be very surprised if we get anywhere near 1mil for him.
What do you mean out of position?
Left back!
I think he played right back for england!
Apologies, just re-read your post.
Livingston weren't that good, they were relegated from the SPL in the 2005-06 season and McPake was captain of them in the Scottish first division where they finished 6th,7th,7th (out of 10). I think him being tipped for an international call up says more about the lack of talent in Scottish football than McPakes ability.
