I’ve seen nothing other than a few questionable characters on here thinking we will. I think the fact he struggled to get into our team last season even with McGlynn seeing regularly in training suggests he just isn’t good enough. Whilst we’re just chucking names out there, i’ll through Michael Gardyne’s name in the mix. See my earlier post I also think Michael Gardyne. Also threw in the name Liam Polworth. Released by Motherwell and highly thought of up north 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raith1974 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Some delusional Dunfermline fan thinking Hendry would move to them. Do they not understand he wants to move up in his career. No chance he will stay in the Championship when he apparently has several Premier league clubs plus others down south interested in him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweaty Morph Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 2 hours ago, McGuigan1978 said: Would it be fair to say Hendry was our best midfielder since Colin Cameron? Seems quite a statement when you think that’s 25 years or whatever, but I’m struggling to think of anyone else. Admittedly we’ve not exactly had an abundance of talented players in that position over the last couple of decades, but I always had Paquito as the best since Mickey, but would rate Hendry higher. Agree with this. I was a massive Paquito fanboy but Hendry is a class above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith_Raver Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I think folk are mentioning King out of fear, not because there's any evidence, other than that he's a free agent and we had him on loan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You underestimate the pulling power of a massive club like Dunfermline Athletic though.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

embow Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Hendry leaving has the same feeling as when Jim Baxter and Ian Porterfield moved on in days past. Both midfielders same as Regan. Both huge influence on the general play of the team. Same as Regan. The lad is up there with the best midfielders to have graced a Rovers team and to have graced Stark's Park with his talent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen nothing other than a few questionable characters on here thinking we will. While I'll admit to being a questionable character, I suggested that King might be useful as a DM if Hendry is gone and we continue to play a diamond, not that we will sign him. 4 hours ago, Raith_Raver said: I think folk are mentioning King out of fear, not because there's any evidence, other than that he's a free agent and we had him on loan. That's not an unfair viewpoint. King was, by the end of the season, a usable midfielder and is a known quantity. The simple fact is, sometimes the devil you know... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 8 hours ago, Beachbum said: Those figures are rather misleading. King was available for 22 games, started in 6 of them and finished only 3. He's a second-stringer. He was announced on 29-1-2021, and was available for 16 Championship matches. He played in 10, on the bench for 5 and not in squad for 1. He played in 2 Cup matches, and in 1 of the 4 playoff matches. Yes his time was limited, but he was generally playing the same position as Hendry, so he's a second stringer when we have Hendry, sure. As I've sad elsewhere, I'd love to see someone brillant and creative come in, but sometimes you need that known quantity, roster player (that should do Grum's nut). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care if they were league games, cup games or play off games; they were still games. You can dress the figures up any way you want but the fact remains that he started only 6 games out of a possible 22 and finished in only 3 of those games. There's a reason for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just forgot to multi quote What he said means f**k all. Grant's last season at Alloa was due to losing the spine of his team. He had them playing good stuff and with a good budget and good players, I think he will be a success. Our board thought likewise and that's why we took him. If you think he was all we could attract then you're ever more stupid than I thought. We along with Killie are the biggest attractions in this league. The only clubs that can attract players to the championship ahead of some smaller Premiership clubs.

Raith Against The Machine Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Maybe you should've used your massive pull to attract a Premiership quality manager, instead of one who's just been relegated to League One? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
