tintax Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) Its a big blow for sure losing Boyce but we were never going to keep hold of him. Priority now must be too use the funds to strengthen the squad in the forward areas. Edited June 21, 2017 by tintax 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Yep well done. It, quite literally, took Uncle Roy and Global Energy a full generation to overtake iCT. He got there eventually so you have to hand it to him. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got there eventually so you have to hand it to him. There's a bit of searching for relevance here. I'm sure ICT were never Roy's target and he, like many, if not most, County fans I know hoped you would stay up. It's about playing at the highest level we can, if there's two Highland teams at the highest level all the better. Winning against ICT is always good as local rivals, but given the choice of a top 6 finish and losing heavily to ICT or being in the bottom 6 and hammering them three times is a no brainer. Top 6 is the aim and Europe a dream irrespective of where ICT are. I'll not say much about the Roy and Global Energy comment, but clearly we have a Board, not just an individual, who put money into the club. Most teams do, and when the Board don't put money in there's usually an outcry from fans urging them to put some in. Roy might be the leader of the pack, but there is a pack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Accies got £3.97m for McCarthy which kept a good quality of brandy in the boardroom for a long while Still does. We'd probably have not resigned & we'd have lost him for free if there was no release clause. It's shite but it's what it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's shite but it's what it is. Pretty much this. There's a lot of folk bemoaning these release clauses and saying we shouldn't use them, but the fact is they're inserted in to contracts to persuade the player to sign on for longer. We'd have lost Irvine and Boyce sooner, and probably for even less money, without them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebonce Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Boyce would have been away last summer; Irvine would never have signed. Dundee wouldn't have got Hemmings. C'est la vie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staggie_93 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 With it only being just over a week until our first pre-season game of the new season, it is slightly concerning that we've signed next to nae c**t. I assume all the players are back at training too? Can't wait for the influx of new players all at once next week.. Spoiler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bri RCFC Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) ^^^ There wont be a massive influx of new players, we already have a competitive squad. Schalk needs to prove himself this season, also think Curran after a full pre-season fit will be back to somewhere near his best. The likes of McShane and Woods have to get off the wage bill before we make many more signings I think. I am not expecting a replacement for Boyce anytime before the season starts. I think the club will see what's available on the season long loan front 1st. I fully expect some of the U20's we saw so successful last season get they're chance in the 1st team squad.

You might be right, but that squad gets relegated. If the plan is for Burke to be given another year if he recovers - and the way I read it he was offered a short term deal in order to find another club, like Dingwall - then that explains the lack of a winger. But that midfield remains limited. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartTaylor Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 The only signing news is that of the Development squad (from P&J): "Ross County have signed youngsters Max Ashmore, Kyle Johnson and Nathan Turner on one-year contracts. Midfielder Ashmore, 19, has joined following his release by Rangers, where he captained the Ibrox club’s under-20s team. Former Falkirk defender Johnson, 19, and former Bury attacker Turner, 18, have signed after being released by their clubs. All three will start with Stuart Kettlewell’s under-20s side, which won the Development League last season". Our annual overseas pre-season training camp starts a week Sunday in La Manga, and no fixtures have been announced yet. Presumably they are not expecting any fans to attend. I don't know of anyone going, which seems a bit odd given the reasonable numbers we have taken to Hungary and The Netherlands in past seasons. Anyone going? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
