pretzel Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 The Daily Ranger reporting that we are interested in signings Dipo Akinyemi from Ayr United, Dundee also in the mix. A Premiership club was interested in signing him in January but bid was declined then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that platform for the legit reporters and club news but conversely full of fuds with fake profiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistandshout1983 Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 Quite happy for Liam Kelly to be the Well goalie much longer , he has made some blunders though few and far between compared with the saves to keep us in certain games . Could end up with worse 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 I can’t believe that anyone who has watched us over the past two years wouldn’t want Liam Kelly to remain with us. He had some poor displays last season but overall he has been excellent for us and saved us from many a potential drubbing. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the pressure of being the captain under a duff manager and feeling others in team couldnt be arsed got to him last season. Hence a few below par performances and blunders but generally he is a good keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsince75 Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 For first half of the season we had a very poor defence in front of Kelly gifting goals every week . as soon as butcher and Casey arrived we tightened up and Kelly got back to normal form . best keeper we’ve had since likes of Randolph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was basically saying, as he's under contract, we would want silly money to sell him to a league rival, but would ask for less if he was being sold outside the country. So what we are trying to say is if say Celtic offered 1 million compared to the 500k received we would turn it down? Nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelboy Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 Carson barely put a foot wrong in his first season with us before the DVT issue. He's spoken about his gambling issues which probably explain why he was playing for Hartlepool when he clearly had the ability to play much higher. Gillespie was great for as well, big saves and not too many errors. Kelly is a good keeper for us but not on Gillespie's level. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonsense. That’s not what I took from Wee Yins comment. I understood he meant any potential Scottish buyer would have to pay a premium as we would be reluctant to sell to a league rival. Reluctant but not unrealistic or stupid. So in your example we would certainly be willing to accept the £1m. £500k plus add ons for a 32 year, who has had one exceptional season and entering the final year of his contract is hardly a bad deal. I wish him well if he does move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't thought too much about Carson & Gillespie. From our current squad there's a few people that we'd love to keep. At least 2 of them are leaving, wouldn't want Kelly to fall into that category and be moved on for a few hundred k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonehaven'Well Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 Are we seriously saying, lets take a few quid for a Scotland squad keeper? If he was to go and the next keeper delivered poor performances, I can imagine the comments about the management and the board. LK is a very good keeper, lets keep him in post! Obviously every player has a price, but to talk about moving LK on is madness, 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Carson never played at a higher level unless you count us as the pinnacle of his career, and as for Gillespie he's that good he's 4th or 5th choice at Newcastle so no big moves or regular 1st team football for him either, they were both decent but nothing special. Kelly has been immense for us since he arrived, one of the top keepers in the premiership and would have been capped for Scotland if someone other than that fud Clarke was in charge, so all told of the 3 we got the best deal in Kelly I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 Between Carson, Randolph, Gillespie and Kelly it would be Randolph who shades it for me. Very happy, however, that they all played for us and there is no way I'd be looking to punt Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish him well if he does move on. I seriously dont think its as contrived as that re Scottish clubs. .I think Kettlewell said what he said hoping he'd start a bidding war . Its all part of the mind games. The bidding war didn't materialise so he will go for what the club consider realistic bid and I'd suspect that will be in the region of £750,000 when all topped and tailed.

What are you talking about?The same Clarke that got us to the first tournament in 22 years and played the newly crowned Nation League champions off the pitch to the point they were crying that Clarke?Aye rank rotten manager that guy should be sacked😉 Blows my mind its like folk want us to fail as a nation instead of progression nah best thing to happen to Scotland in a long long time but some folk are never happy never praise the wins but jump right online to moan about the draws and loses. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 There is a reason Clarke was desperate to get in Angus Gunn when he was left with a choice of Zander Clark and Liam Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Gordon was fit, there were a few occasions where he could have given Kelly a few minutes in friendlies but opted not to do so, you would have thought with Gordon's age it might have been wise to give someone at least a cap to see what they could do in case he got injured or decided to call it a day, hindsight is great obviously but we ended up in that position where our keeper choices had no caps between them. I mean he even gave Scott Bain a handful of caps. As you stated, convincing a guy who was slagging the international team not that long ago must have been a kick in the tadger to both Kelly and Clark and showed them where they rank in the scheme of things.
