grumswall Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 With the kind of injury he's recovering from the clubs done the right thing with just a one year dealI disagree. He's young enough to recover from it fully. He's also unlikely to be on massive wages. It would be a gamble but a gamble I would have taken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spot on Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 One or two year deal doesn't make much difference to raith as even if was to decide to leave at the end of the season due to his age we would still be due a development fee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers_Lad Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I disagree. He's young enough to recover from it fully. He's also unlikely to be on massive wages. It would be a gamble but a gamble I would have taken. Nobody disagreeing that he's young enough to recover from it fully and hopefully that's t he case but there is always the other scenario.Theres nothing to say he comes back the same player We,ve been stung with other players eg .Barr so think the club has got this one right 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ding Dang Doo Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Hopefully it's a one year deal with the option of a second if he makes a certain amount of appearances. Would make sense given his injury. Having all these players signed up already and others with offers on the table shows the difference between McKinnon and Murray. Also shows the fans he's keen to progress the club and should therefore encourage early season ticket sales for next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllanJM Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Craig Wighton starting tonight at celtic park. Fully expect him to be another Barry Mackay and turn into a player after not even trying with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bambino7 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) I disagree. He's young enough to recover from it fully. He's also unlikely to be on massive wages. It would be a gamble but a gamble I would have taken. It's best for both parties at this time. He has the security of two years if needed depending on games played next season if he plays then he will sign. If someone such as Hibs come calling we will be due money because the contract is on offer for him to turn down.

Paco Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Craig Wighton starting tonight at celtic park. Fully expect him to be another Barry Mackay and turn into a player after not even trying with us. He's only playing as Hartley is doing what McKinnon did last night e.g. acknowledging it's unlikely we'll get a result so resting some players ahead of a bigger match at the weekend. Good luck to him all the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 He's only playing as Hartley is doing what McKinnon did last night e.g. acknowledging it's unlikely we'll get a result so resting some players ahead of a bigger match at the weekend. Good luck to him all the same. It was strange, when Wighton came on against us during the 5-0 at Dens last week he looked a different player to the lost kid you guys had. He played in behind the strikers and his distribution was sublime at times. Looked very handy with the ball at his feet too. Am I right in thinking you deployed him mainly as a striker? I know that he was playing against dross like us, and the game was already won, but he really did look as if he could live up to the Dees hype. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm glad it's the direction we've taken. (Wonder if all these contracts have a clause giving better deals in the unlikely event of us going up through the play-offs? Anyone know?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 I'd reckon there's a supremely high chance of that being the case, Yoss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
