Is he the raith goalie? 

Yeah. So I guess any potential signings from them will have to wait on the play off result. I think Easton is out of contract but I guess he might be tempted to re-sign if they beat County. Rovers have a few players who stand out in the Championship but whether they can step up a League is the gamble.

Not only that, but we'd likely be viewed in a negative light by other clubs and players, which could affect future player business.

I mean, imagine how we'd feel if he'd come in on loan under the same agreement to sign for next season and he'd been a revelation, running our midfield and looking amazing, only to get to the summer and say, "Actually, I've had a few better offers elsewhere now after my late-season showing, so I'm just gonna cancel this deal with you guys and bugger off."

It works both ways. If we've made a commitment to the player, we need to honour it.

The question is why did we commit to 18 months with a player who had barely played for a year?

Halliday seems like a sensible guy on the radio. If Kettlewell has anything about he'll sit down with him, show him his stats and explain that it's miles off what's required and he won't be a part of the first team squad next season regardless of his contract status.

Joe Lewis is a name that keeps popping up via various sources.

Apart from throwing Louis Moult's shot into the back of the net in the Cup Quarter Final, and not covering himself in glory on our second, my recollections of Joe Lewis consist primarily of commentators saying "He's not usually this prone to handling errors" on an almost weekly basis.

So that leaves him sitting on the bench for a year?

Presumably because SK thinks he'll get a good season out of him after putting the work in over the  summer.

I think Steelboy's suggesting Halliday wouldn't hang around for a year if such a conversation took place, and I think he's probably right.

That could be 'thought' rather than 'thinks'. We can't afford another Obika.

I'd be surprised if that conversation happened tbh.

Maybe it won't. But if Halliday had finished the season in exactly the same way with Hearts instead of moving here, would anyone be thinking we should move for him?

If Kettlewell is happy to give him a chance, fair enough, it's his call. If it goes wrong in the same way it did with Obika, folk will start to get pissed off.

According to P & B Barry Maguire has been released. No great surprise but good luck to him. Being ruthless, he took up a wage but didn't play. Hope he finds another club  maybe at Championsip or League 1 level.

Who on P and B knows this information? Is it from journalists. I believe Graeme McGarry posts on there if I'm right and he was saying yesterday that Kelly hadnt been offered a contract. 

Edited to say just read that Barry posted it on his Instagram

no great surprise he reminded me of stuart carswell in many ways and was never going to breakthrough just like Carswell, might do a job in the lower divisions

Maguire was here longer than he should have been,it would have suited both parties to go there separate ways before he got his last contract extension.i wish him nothing but the best,hopefully he finds a club where he can be playing every week,I can see him ending up somewhere like morton.

Jordan Tillson being mentioned on P & B.

 

Defensive midfielder. 

Signed by kettlewell when he was at county. Haven't watched him much but united fans don't seem to rate him. Not sure how county fans view him.

It's only taken 2 days from season end to start slagging of players we haven't signed.

Sounds like a good time to stop reading this thread and just wait for the formal announcements from the club.

The end of squad update was on 31 May last year so possibly the same this time.

31 years old and pish. Ticks all the boxes for Kettlewell. 

Just tell us all of the available players you think are pish and why we should not be signing them over the summer, in a single post it will save you time and effort and it will be less drivel  for the rest of us to ignore.

Is there enough room on the forum? 😉 For the lengthy list.

He'd be quicker telling us the ones who aren't pish

I actually saw him praise a Motherwell player on here a couple of weeks ago... Forgot which one it was though 🤣
