ShaggerG Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I think the pressure's off a bit now regarding new signings as we seem to have a 1st 11 sorted. I wonder if that may encourage them to try to move the likes of Telfer and Sammon on (perhaps to Ray's QP revolution, considering he seems to rate them) and maybe put Leitch and Sneddon out on loan? That would give them the room to bring another few in toward the end of the window when there may be some better quality available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL-FFC Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) Miller already said in his interviews not in so many words that Sammon wont be first choice (freeze him out try and get him a move or cancel his contract) given GD also said we have been far to generous in the past and a soft touch in player negotiations. Telfer would put as a back to to starting 11 replace Connolly when he tires out. Just a GK and a CH to go Ever get the feeling this might just might be an actual working version of the so called "Brentford" model least we have some players with a point to prove alongside some experience.

Not seen any of him lately but he was highly rated at Airdrie as a youngster and he's relatively local as he hails from Bathgate. Still only 22 as well so would fit the mould of signings we've been making. Edited to add: Scrap that completely, just watched a few highlights from Linfield games last season and he's not the answer. His brother is in and out the jail that's why he end up going to Linfield to try n get away from it all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkirk09Bairn Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 This is honestly the happiest I’ll ever be to sign a Dunfermline fan. He may be Pars crazy on the terraces but he’s a Bairn on the pitch. Yaaaaaaassssss! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a small amount of players coming in for what believe was gymn work but I imagine that stopped with the government announcements last week. So he's not "on trial" at the moment. Having said that, there's usually one or two trialists involved when preseason begins so it could well happen on the 24th. Assuming the government let us come back then, of course. . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's clearly wanted by M&M. Sammon is in the second year of his previous deal so it's unknown whether he's rated or not. If not, then it would depend on what else was out there for him. I believe a large part of the reason he came to us was geographical, as he lives in Larbert. He may prefer to stay and fight for his place even he's no longer a first pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Fitzgerald Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Honestly couldn’t care less who he supports as long as he proves it on the park, which is what he done in abundance last time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time in three seasons we have a correct mixture of young & old, but critically players that fit together. Really looking forward to getting back to seeing our club, whenever that will be. Lastly praise where due, the BOD get it large on here, there’s no doubt our signings didn’t come cheap so it’s thanks to the BOD for backing M&M. Did they put their hands in their pockets? pretty sure all the money getting spent comes from us the fans. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most fifers have been born there for about 25 years, the better ones get out as quick as they can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance of moving Telfer on sadly or they wouldn't have resigned him. They obviously see something in him the rest of us don't. More chance of Leitch and Laverty going out on loan again which I don't see either unless it's blatantly obvious they aren't cutting it come a few months into the season. I think Sammon would be away already if he didn't have a year left. I think he knows his career is almost done. And hes fourth choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
