GMBairn Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Not often we pay a fee, he must have been one of the Don's first choices. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairney The Dinosaur Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 we paid money and for a 1 year deal? Thought that was strange too. They are probably not letting the fans know of any options in the deals, understandable tbh. eta - yaaaaas a signing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeBairn Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Transfer agreement. That could pretty much mean anything. Fee paid, percentage of next sale, if any. Seems well regarded by the County fans though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gav-ffc Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Quote The lad has huge potential, not given a chance by us. Works hard, has good feet, get his confidence up and he’ll score goals. I hope you get the best out of him! Been a good lad at our club and deserves a break! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't get a game for them last season, must've been scouted in his games for Truro? Be interesting to see how Falkirk do next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Yasss a signing! Mon’ the big Toe!Obviously the boy could turn out to be shite but I’m so happy we’re taking the chances on these boys than panic signing pish like Willo Flood that we would have done the last few years.Loving the fact that the Don is refusing to sign ugly players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalWolf Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 wonder if this guy is to replace sibbs? Maybe why the don wasn't so bothered when he left... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalkirkLad Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Well that has got me in the mood for it, like a cheeky wee starter to the Joe Cardle/Greg Tansey main course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 wonder if this guy is to replace sibbs? Maybe why the don wasn't so bothered when he left... I think here’s still a replacement to come. Hartley was saying that he’s was looking at other left sided attacking midfielders to replace him and with the Toe being right footed I think that means we’re still to bring in his replacement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
