Was fully aware of Rooney from Dunfermline and although hadnt seen Mercer had heard of him through his East Fife days. Its also a decent signing policy looking at the lower leagues for upcoming talent. Ballantyne for example is a good full back who impressed against us and is young enough to improve more. Hopefully the deal is done in the near future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it is indeed a money thing! Yep, Wayne was desperate for game time, hence his move to the USA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 21 hours ago, football maniac said: True but if they moved to Carlisle wouldnt be such an issue. Players from all over move to Carlisle to play for Carlisle United so if we trained their they could do the same for us. Might even be quicker getting to Glasgow etc than for the local lads due to it being right beside the motorway. Folk would be more inclined to move to the city of Carlisle than the town of Dumfries. Wouldnt it be nice if we signed someone we hadnt heard of like! Would add a certain level of intrigue to the signings. As it is every player we sign I seem to either have seen or be totally aware of what they are like. Just so happens so far Ive seen and heard of Harkins and am very impressed So, we'd get none of the benefits of training locally but still incur all the costs, while competing with a number of clubs in the north of England, most of which can pay higher wages than us? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 @SkylineDrifter, are you aware if there will be long sleeved jerseys again this year in the club shop? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea. I dont think there were deliberately any last year, just some of the order turned up long sleeved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a no goer for sure but Newcastle lads in the past have shown a willingness to travel/move to us and we reaped the reward in the cases of Bowser, Weatherson and a few others. If we were to look south to places like Blackburn and Liverpool etc why wouldnt their lads be as keen? There are bigger clubs paying bigger wages out there in the North East England yet we still unearthed those 2 plus Marshall so I feel we could use it to our advantage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players in the north west have so many more options, paying better money, than travelling north to play for Queens. You've lost a large number of Scottish based players who dont want to travel, without even getting the benefit of having the team train in their home town. Not to mention the fact that, on top of paying larger travelling expenses, you still have to pay for training facilities in Carlisle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played a reasonably significant role in our title season albeit had gone before we actually won it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For every Weatherson, Atkinson (Paddy) and Bowey there were a host of really awful players from the North East. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and again. Is Brownlie out with injury till the New Year ?. Naysmith has never said anything only that Mercer should be back for pre season training as his injury is not as bad as they thought it was . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
