SUPERSOUTH Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) Agree with 2nd & 3rd point but I would prioritise signing 3 or 4 of last seasons squad that aren't already contracted - Mercer, Semple, Lyon & Murray.

Sankasouthy Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Dunfermline being busy today. Dom Thomas, Declan McManus and Kevin O’Hara all signed up on permanent deals.Having seen all three perform at Palmerston, I would say that’s pretty good business imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This situation can't go on long enough as far as I'm concerned! If anyone thinks the manager is not talking to players whilst on furlough then their head must be firmly up their arse. He is being paid 80% of his contracted salary so he is clearly still taking a wage from the club and why shouldn’t he. I think by the end of July some players will be signed either on a full time or part time contract. So no real worry their. I am sure some of the managers ex Dunfermline players out of work will make up the bulk of this seasons squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Grimm Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 The manager is 100% speaking to players at the minute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You tell me, you're the one who made the assumption. Which ex Dunfermline players who played under AJ do you think will come and "make up the bulk" of next season's squad? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I said AJ’ ex Dunfermline players I meant players who played for him but are now free agents.

Longridge at Falkirk, Craigen just signed a 3 year deal with Arbroath and Higgy is playing in Kashmir of all places.Higginbotham came back from Kashmir months ago and has said he’s got no interest in going back. He’s looking for a club here or down South I believe. Longridge has also left Falkirk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighn't be gospal but the tea shack gossip from a bloke I work (he has a son who was in the QotS U19 team and I think has played in the 1st team), is that Queens will likely be relying heavily on youth next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longridge released by Falkirk, Higginbottom looking for a club after his 1 year contract finished in Kashmir and Ashcroft a free agent.
