CoF Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Murder question. My heeds burst thinking about it but going on who we have on hand in the squad at the present moment, I'd say Higdon is the only one that is truly irreplaceable.

weeyin Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 They're all great shouts but can't believe no one has mentioned Ojamaa...? Because we already have him signed up until the end of the 2013/2014 season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Easy - Faddy. Randolph and Higdon have both stated that they will stay if the core of the team remains and in my opinion if an international and E.P.L quality player like Faddy is willing to stay then the others will follow suit....

Bop Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 I'd say Tom Hateley is the one player that without a shadow of a doubt will be leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Stall Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 I'd say Tom Hateley is the one player that without a shadow of a doubt will be leaving. I reckon if the rest were to stay, then there is noway Hateley would walk out the door. He would know we have a right good team and a chance of making something happen next season. Much better opportunity than knocking about in the lower divisions with Rangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye because they all care about the glory - my arse. Opportunity for what - he isn't going to gain international recognition, so what's the next best thing for him and his family - salary. Did you see the reported deal Sandaza had (before he threw it away). If Rangers or anyone else comes knocking - none of them will knock back that kind of money. I'm pretty certain you wouldn't, I know i wouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat_tony Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Who the fuck voted for Humphrey?? Wasn't me (went for Higdon - the value of a goalscorer speaks for itself) but there's an argument to be made there. Not necessarily in front of the others, but Humphrey's mere presence is often enough to create chances for us. Teams are well aware of his pace and often adjust their tactics accordingly, leaving gaps for the likes of Ojamaa (and now Faddy) to exploit. Even if he doesn't kick his own arse, simply having him on the pitch is sometimes enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fear Humphrey gives SPL defences with his pace means he often has 2/3 men on him which, as you say, opens up lots of space for the other to exploit. He certainly has his faults but I will be delighted if he's still here next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly wouldn't pick him however if as the thread title says, you could have one player stay definatley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJ-94 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Randolph , resigned to having a much lesser goalkeeper next year we've been lucky that we've had two come along one after the other but think the next one will be average at best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malky79 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 McFadden edging out Randolph if only because I believe we have slightly greater chance of actually keeping him. I believe we have a slim chance that borders on non existent but none for keeping Randolph. Randolph is approaching his prime and EPL clubs should be looking at him. Faddy whilst still clearly got I don't think has the same pull for the kind of clubs down south his talent probably merits. Choking to keep Higdon and Law also to be honest, the former I think we might keep but again the latter I consider as good as gone. Only thing that makes me think Higdon might leave for a better offer is it's all well and good loving his time here but if Randolph, Law, McFadden, Humphrey all go then the team could be notably weaker and he isn't going to get the same service. Before you know it he'll be getting pelters again if not banging them in and maybe an extra 500 quid or a grand a week suddenly seems worth the risk of pastures new.

Ya Bezzer! Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Tough one so I'm going to break the rules and give you them by preference. 1. McFadden 2. Randolph 3. Higdon 4. Law 5./6. Hateley/Humphrey I'd pick McFadden because he's a special player and I just love watching him. My second pick would be Randolph because I think the difference between an ordinary team and a good team is often a goalkeeper. My third pick would be Higdon because of the amount of goals he's scored and because I think he's really improved and is actually a much better player than when he joined. Law has done great but I don't think he's quite as crucial as the first three. Hateley and Humphrey I think are replaceable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haggischomper Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 McFadden. He's bums on seats. With the greatest will in the world, the rest aren't. They just simply aren't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well should be but I don't think he has notably affected the number of bums on seats. Managed to get bums off seats a few times with some quality football and for that reason I'd still stick by my original choice there.
