Lobey_Dosser Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 I can't see that doing his international career any good. My thoughts exatly. I imagine we would have offered him in the region of £1250-£1500pw. Don't really see the value in heading to a team that is going nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really see the value in heading to a team that is going nowhere. Money. To be honest if he is making £2,000 a month extra (at least) then who can blame him. Who would say after starting a family they wouldn't do the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Diggle Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Graeme Smith - The new Fraser Wishart. What a complete fud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nethertonwellfan Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 surely we could match that? certainly shitting it if Fraser is no1 this season I think we should gee him a chance he hasn't even played a competitive game for us yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Perhaps we'll see a u-turn from McLean if Quinn is leaving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dossertillidie Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 I believe that the move to hibs was s done deal, mixu leaving has put that and three other deals up in the air as yogi doesn't want any of them smith included! Hibs are even having to pay compo for a boy they were going to sign and now don't want! Wouldn't b surprised if smith stays as well as Hughes! Unless another club other than Brighton make a move over the next month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finlay Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Imo it is time for Saunders and Hutchison to be given serious consideration for the first team. Starting this Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_P Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Imo it is time for Saunders and Hutchison to be given serious consideration for the first team. Starting this Thursday. I think with the current squad size that goes without saying for Thursday. Further down the line it remains to be seen who comes in and what position they we are in in terms of squad depth. Certainly the two of them did themselves no harm at all in the outings they've had but I don't know how ready they are for week-in, week-out first team selection. Up to the new manager I suppose.

MelvinBragg Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 I think speculating as to specific targets that Gannon will have player-wise is useless at the moment until we know for definite which of Hughes, Clarkson, Reynolds or Quinn are going to be here this season (for my money, none of them). Also, if our friends from Stockport are to be believed, Gannon is a meticulous researcher who kept 'lists' of players. That could include players from anywhere and everywhere, not just those who played under him at Stockport. The only thing I would say is that as he is portrayed as an, ahem, rather abrasive character, I don't know how many friends in football management he'll have to call upon for favours (as opposed to Sheepy McShovelface with his contact book that stretched to, em, Alex McLeish and Gordon Strachan). Actually more I think about it, this might be a good thing. He'll rely on his own judgement, rather than taking shite on loan from his pals to do him a favour. You can decide for yourselves which McShovelface signing(s) I'm referring to here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelvinBragg Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Is the reputed lack of offers for the likes of Smith evidence that clubs are keeping their hands in their pockets more than ever this summer? Surely this means for us that there are bargains to be had in terms of players out of contract. On a side issue, I'm sure I read somewhere Eddie May saying that Falkirk would be paying fees for a couple of players. Surely this should be an indicator that we should have decent money to spend should the proposed sales go through...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelvinBragg Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Yes but did you see the amount he took off the wage bill yesterday. Aye, wages are one thing, paying fees is another. Not much of that goes on at clubs like Falkirk, Kilmarnock and ourselves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motherwell Football Club Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Stop being a fanny, and get that swine flu seen too! ........................... Heard big news today.. don't know about the truth in it but here it goes... Leitch was offered the job immediately and knocked it back due to being told (some of this stuff we already know) Clarkson - Cardiff 750k McLean - Smith - - All freebies.. Hughes to Aberdeen, McLean to Hearts Buzz?? Hughes - And........ Paul Quinn, also to Cardiff!!! Being left with 5 bigger players leaving and not being able to have a single penny to spend despite receiving over a million pounds this summer.. it looks like once the club tell the managerial candidates this we may really struggle for a manager and a full team! Crisis Imminent? or all talk... Eh Frazza B? Eh what? None of the two transfers you've mentioned have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bop Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 I'm just a bit worried that the players quoted in that article are from Stockport, arent they in League 2?

Surely this means for us that there are bargains to be had in terms of players out of contract.That would be my guess. Typically, players' contracts expire at the end of June, so I imagine there will be some increase in activity next month. I do think with the uncertainty over TV money etc. north and south of the border, there will definitely be some good deals that can be made.

SuperSteelman Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Interesting to read today that Gannon maybe bringing in up to 8 players. http://www.thesun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/s...ng-changes.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelvinBragg Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Interesting to read today that Gannon maybe bringing in up to 8 players. http://www.thesun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/s...ng-changes.html Given we are expecting to be without Clarkson, Quinn, Smith, Hughes, McLean, Sheridan and Klimpl from last season's first team squad (I've not mentioned Malcolm because for the last 6 months of the season, he wasn't really in the squad), then 8 would be a bare minimum to add to what was a thin squad last season. Adding 8 players with hopefully the progress of the likes of Saunders, Forbes and Hutchison, will hopefully give us something resembling a squad. The names mentioned are simply evidence that journalists can make the same connections that we on this forum can. Oh, and, was Chris Porter not a league one player before coming here? I think we should try and not judge players on where the manager sources them from... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
