Linked with Nicky Clark for a while too, not sure who'd be a better fit. Can either play on the left? McManus has an incredible engine. He runs at defences all match and makes things difficult for the opposition defenders. He contributes hugely. He's can find the net but it's been slightly frustrating that he hasn't found the net more often as it's deserved given his workrate. He's very popular among the Pars support and I hope we don't lose him being honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Aye I'd want to keep McManus and Clark for next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Jack Ross signing Gavin Reilly probably alerted many a limited footballer to have ideas above their station. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only more of the mediocre players to have graced the pitch at EEP of late were capable of scoring 20 goals in half a season like Reilly did then maybe Dunfermline would be much higher than their current standing. Or maybe the Pars just need their own Jack Ross? Edited May 16, 2018 by JimmyMirren 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Would be sad to lose McManus. Good player and works his socks off but doesn't score as much as he should. That being said, if he did, he'd be nowhere near EEP. His goal at Tynecastle was also one of my favourite moments of last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 From the Record: Quote Fraser Aird has agreed a new one-year deal with Dunfermline after spurning interest from England. Record Sport understands that the former Rangers star who has eight international caps and one goal for Canada has knocked back deals with Carlisle United and Salford to stay with the Pars. The 23-year-old made 27 appearances for the Fifers this season scoring four goals as Allan Johnston’s men finished fourth in the Championship. However the Pars succumbed 2-1 to Dundee United in the play-off quarter-final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Great news if true about Aird. Ashcroft and Aird would be top of my "must keep" list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I wish we could keep this season’s home kit because that was fucking beautiful. I wish we could keep it for all time tbqh. Would be gutted if McManus left but if it's true that a team in the Premiership is keen, then he'll be offski. Aird will be a real coup IMO as he's unplayable when he's in full swing. He was totally gubbed up at Tannadice in the play-offs after half-time but before that he was destroying their full left flank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Would be happy with a first team squad ofRobinsonMurdochWilliamsonMorrisAshcroftM’VotoMartin*new full back - preferably one that can play both left & right back*Beadling/a mobile defensive midfielderVincent (or another box to box midfielder)Craigen (or another attack-minded CM)*new CM*Higginbotham/Cardle (try to keep one)Aird*new winger*ClarkMcManusRyanSmithI would loan Gill out (if possible), before people mention that he’s still under contract. I realise that we probably won’t manage to keep a hold of all of the players listed above, but if we can get as close to like for like replacements, that would be good. Probably try and bring in a few more youngsters as well, if we’re planning to play in the reserve league. Surprised we punted Duthie and Lochhead, as I thought they looked ok and had potential. Whilst not being of first team quality yet, I thought they’d be regulars in the reserve league and adequate cover for the first team, if required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoBNob Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I wouldn't be nearly as fussed about McManus, he seems like a decent bloke though and he's evidently put in a ton of graft to get to where he is, would be happy for him if he got a move to St Johnstone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
