Ya Bezzer! Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 a) McGhee is a clueless idiot with no strategy. b) McGhee is a shrewd operator who knows exactly what he is doing based on working with the players every day and access to the budget details. Choose one, it seems. Bizarre transfer policy goes back further than McGhee, as do budget clusterfucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelvinBragg Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 McFadden as a cheap striker option, I saw someone suggest? Would rather go with Moore for that role... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazilian Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Which former player or relative of a player are we going to sign then? I'll go with Giles Coke, a bit part at Ipswich last year. Simon Lappin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelvinBragg Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Simon Lappin Certainly fits the age profile of our Scottish signings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Simon Lappin That's a great shout. (as in, an ex-player return shout, not as a signing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superward Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Scott McDonald in talks to go to Sydney FC according to the Daily Mail.Just read that too. That would be a huge loss and would clearly need a replacement striker in. Would be an odd one right enough, unless something cute is happening with the signing of the 1 year deal in the first place.

brainier Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 So basically any other club that offers more wages than us and the club won't stand in their way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superward Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 So basically any other club that offers more wages than us and the club won't stand in their way. I'd hold off on that strong and definite opinion until we know more details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 As I said when he was linked with Hibs his contribution over the season won't be hard to replace. Given the holes in our squad getting shot of him and bringing in more reliable players might be for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 If the story is true, few options spring to mind: a) Motherwell resigned McDonald with a view to netting a transfer fee b) McDonald not happy (possibly with strength of squad) c) our precarious financial position is deteriorating d) opportunity to go to Sydney has came out the blue.

Some interesting points a) Why move Moore out then? b) Squad no different to when he signed his deal. Was he naive in thinking we would suddenly be bringing in quality players? c) How much can it have deteriorated in the two or three weeks since he signed? d) Find this hard to believe. If Hibs had time to make an offer when he was out of contract, pretty sure Sydney did as well. Concerning that we may lose our second top scorer from last season, having already lost our third and with our top scorer going in for an operation and not having had a proper preseason due to this...

bilyboy60 Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Would he not be looking to return home towards the end of his playing career and if the opertunity arose would he not maybe consider it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tickle Pickle Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 I personally feel we have a better team than last year already, C is not an option! Maybe McDonald feels he is doing us a favour if he can get us a transfer fee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 There's no way we have a better team at this moment with Pearson gone and Lasley a year older. Our midfield is of significant concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
