Welldaft Mk1 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Cannot say I have ever heard of the player in Q. Still it does appear as if McCall was keen to bring him onboard. How many players have opted for other SPL clubs only to regret it. Still if we were after Harkins that is 2 players that have turned us down, make it 3 if you include Samson! To sign for DDee Utd, St Mirren and Killie respectively....all clubs that can offer the attraction of playing in Europe......oh wait...... Tbh I am not bothered about any of the above going elsewhere. Greg Wylde on the other hand would be a good bit of business, but it looks from his comments that the Dons are favourites there :-( And the good news is ........

Welldaft Mk1 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Technically Paton is a mediocre 1st Division player. As for Bolton reject, I think he will be a good signing and someone who could get his careers back on track. OJamma was rejected by Derby.....

punk_in_drublic Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 What are people's thoughts on Cummins? I've not seen enough if him to judge yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Diggle Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 He's had some howlers, but he's had some real stormers as well. Hopefully he'll settle down a bit and develop some consistency and security. Given a run in the team I think he'll do alright for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 What are people's thoughts on Cummins? I've not seen enough if him to judge yet. 25% of the time he looks good, 50% he looks like a youngster that isn't ready to be a first choice player and the final 25% of the time he doesn't look like a footballer at all.

Welldaft Mk1 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 My guess is that the lure of some games in Europe isn't as strong as the lure of actual money. Probably true, but being outbid by St Mirren and Killie is a little depressing... I wonder how much of the wage budget was being cut for this coming season and if OJamma's transfer has any impact on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic2904 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 25% of the time he looks good, 50% he looks like a youngster that isn't ready to be a first choice player and the final 25% of the time he doesn't look like a footballer at all. Could not have said it any better. To be honest it would scare me to know that Cummins would be starter next season. Dont think he has got what it takes to be an SPL player.

mfc Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 samson signed for killie as they offered him a longer deal and im pretty sure he stays down that way so they were always favourites to get him,from what i heard mccall was interested in harkins but we never made him an offer and it seems mcnamara was the main reason that paton chose utd.imo there 3 average players so im glad theyve went elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I would think the freed up wages will be significant, since Hately and Humphrey were on their second deals, which probably had annual increases, and law must have been on a decent amount. Don't know much about Daley. I'm sure keeping Higdon and faddy would eat into most of those savings, but I don't see either hanging around. Either way, I don't think we'll see a large number of new faces, maybe 3 or 4, and the rest will be promoted youngsters. If we're going to be a selling club the youth players are the key.

If we're going to be a selling club the youth players are the key. i don't think we have any youngsters waiting in the wings. we have murray, erwin and moore but we have cover in their positions with mchugh and cummins. zfa could feature more but beyond that there isn't much. Alternatively, they've paid too much for average players and we'll get better value for moany elsewhere - another Ojamaa anyone? - Allways the optimist!! hopefully we are keeping our money for players that are worth it like randolph and law. no one else has improved their squad yet so no need to worry.

I wonder how much of the wage budget was being cut for this coming season and if OJamma's transfer has any impact on that? Harkins is a good player on his day and when the going is good. However he's not suited to scrapping when the going gets tough and I wouldn't have thought St Mirren was the right club for him but thats not our problem. Not concerned that he didn't sign for us. Maybe he's guaranteed first team football at Paisley. Dundee United and Kilmarnock will both be paying more than us and money does talk. Keith Lasley was offered a decent contract at Rugby Park a few years ago but Jim Jeffries couldn't guarantee him a first team place and so he came to us. Whether its wisely spent by other clubs is another matter entirely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
