SirJimmyofNic Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 I wonder how many out of contract players are trying to hang fire on new contracts in case McGlynn manages to get Falkirk up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyser_soze Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) For me I think both Lang and Connolly will stay if offered decent terms, McGill will be signed on a permeant 2 year deal, Akio and the other fraud that claimed to be a 'striker' will be sent back to their parent clubs to be released and play somewhere in the seaside leagues or for some insignificant English 6th tier team. Ngwenya is a difficult one, shows promise but equally shows liability, personally if we signed him on a permeant deal I'd be reasonably happy. If Jammer is leaving then Gatson would be the obvious 1st choice but maybe he prefers part time football, if Accies do go down then Fulton wouldn't be a bad option. If Spencer leaves I'd be slightly disappointed but not surprised, don't think he will wind up as a direct opponent next season, probably at Falkirk who will undoubtedly make a James Hunt of the play offs. Masson and Millen yep definitely offer new and improved deals. All in all a successful but disappointing season, roll on the 23/24 campaign. Still need to see 2 or 3 teams who we will be facing but onwards and hopefully upwards. Edit - McBride can be chucked into the Forth, a complete waster Edited May 6, 2023 by keyser_soze 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 We’ve apparently agreed a PCA with a goalkeeper up here who’s been playing regularly for their current club. I had assumed it was maybe someone further down the divisions but it could be MacDonald if we’re looking for someone to really push Albinson. He gets a fair amount of stick from our fans for being ex-Killie but at the last game at Somerset he was taking it quite well and having a bit of a chat with fans in the SRE during stoppages. Mind you, if Mark Ridgers exploits last night are anything to go by it may well be him that’s joining us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seriously reckon Mcdonald is going to sign for Ayr United to be a 2nd choice behind some guy called Albinson? I know you are probably on a bit of a high after your best ever season but come on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could easily be tempted with a nice pay rise and a player/coaching gig. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 I'd be really dissapointed if McDonald moves on to anyone else in this league, especially if it's as 2nd choice - he'd be far too good for that. May be something in the coaching aspect though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listened to the sim interview heading to and from the game. They seem to talk a good game and if they fulfil what they say they will, then things will look good for the club in the long term. Quite personally, i would abandon the off feild stuff and throw money at an entirely new back four that doesn’t cause panic any time the ball comes near the 18 yard box. What and lose another 100k 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit - McBride can be chucked into the Forth, a complete waster Ngwenya can go, last night I thought he was awful. There's a lot better out there and that goes for most of this squad. Remember we finished 7th. We need improvement across the pitch, especially defence and up front. I wouldn't be sad to see most go including the likes of Ethan Ross and Jamie Gullan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with that is both are under contract and with the injuries they’ve had this season would you really see anyone paying cash for them this summer? Plus they would be on good money maybe in the higher end of our wage bill and can’t see them getting that anywhere else and we’ll be lumbered with them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted May 6, 2023 Author Share Posted May 6, 2023 Ethan Ross, I think (and hope) will be absolutely fine again once he’s had a pre-season. He was visibly blowing out his arse after about 15 minutes last night but he’s been injured for a long time. You don’t become a bad player in that space of time and he’s shown he can be excellent at this level in the past. Get him fit and he can still be a big player for us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
