There are better out there for that kind of money, but wish him all the best for the future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaton Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 (edited) His clean sheets were mainly as a result of the defence, expecially the first half the season. I'd have kept him but not gutted he's going. Edited May 15, 2023 by Heaton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinnyPar Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Agree on Mehmet, not fussed either way really but he is definitely not worth pushing the boat out for. Undoubtedly had a great season and wish him all the best. Also, this just highlights (not that it needed highlighting) how inept Peter Grant was allegedly making him the highest earner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye he never ever filled me with confidence but he was bloody brilliant last season. 29 minutes ago, VinnyPar said: Really good interview on open goal with McPake. Sounds like recruitment for next season well underway. Was also interesting to hear him say that first priority is staying in the league next season, I'm sure the remit might be slightly different internally but looking back to last summer when Cook was questioned on targets he never actually stated one publicly so they're sticking with that trend it seems. Gowsers barnet taking some amount of abuse at the end as well Enjoyed it so far, got about 15 to go. At the council meeting last Wednesday he said he wouldn't commit publicly to aims for the following season, but someone then said they'd take 7th if it meant avoiding any relegation scraps and he said he probably would to. Really like James. Also great to hear that he essentially has to kick the players out the stadium on a Friday because they're all hanging out with each other, playing darts etc. He mentioned that at the meeting last week. Great team spirit. Often players these days are in training and away home for midday if they can. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Deniz was on a fortune. He would have been told to take a bit of a pay cut. Should be able to secure a decent gig down in England. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't there, just relying on the transcript from dotnet so maybe someone who was there can furnish come context. Why might they have to? I can't see anything in it for us. As I understand the proposals we won't benefit financially, and it's highly unlikely we'll ever be bottom of L2 so unlikely to ever benefit from the alleged softer drop it's meant to offer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 If that is Mehmet away, all the best to him. Recovered from a terrible debut season (which I’m putting down to mismanagement), to have a record breaking season. Personally, I think he’s replaceable and we can potentially bring in a better keeper. But I hope Mehmet goes on to have a good career elsewhere. Probably a good time for him to leave, as his stock will be higher than ever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFC. Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 I rather suspect there will be some stat-daft scouts down in England mentioning him. We all know the defence has, first and foremost, been the reason for our record-breaking season. Mehmet can look back and be proud of his achievements, and I’d wish him nothing but continued success, but we can get someone in of equal quality, if not better…and on a lot less dough as well. Conor Hazard is a bit of a pipe dream. Will be on a decent wage at Celtic, and is used by them for cup competitions. Don’t think there is any obvious candidates, but McPake will get it right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Could potentially see you lot with Aidan McAdams next season? He’s pretty much set to leave us and I’m sure rumours were floated when we signed him that Dundee were one of the teams interested in him so McPake want to try and get him this time round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t remember, both had the habit of blaming players when they were by far the biggest culprits in defeats, must have been a dozen or so players each thrown to the dogs instead of showing abit of decency and self-responsibility. I’d have liked mehmet to stay but if the rumours are right on his current wage and where he may potentially end up then I think it’s was always difficult to be able to offer a wage sensible for us that he would accept. Of the potential replacements mentioned McAdams is by far the worst, hazard seems possible but I don’t particularly see what has got him so far at Celtic and the level of loans he got. He’d be a very meh signing for me. McLaughlin was mentioned but seems more than a bit of a stretch, he’s bound to get better offers.

For whatever it means I always thought he was a decent keeper with us in the Championship and he totally bossed the Finnish league last season with HJK, winning goalie of the season and the league with them plus all the European nights. Then again, Lee Erwin was comfortably the league's top scorer that season so his success might be taken with a pinch of salt. Still, think his career's been held back by that white elephant of a Celtic contract he's on, and I reckon he'll have a healthy enough career as a decent professional goalie. Could do worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen he's been linked with that lit but surely we'd be able to offer better terms (not to mention we're no longer in the seaside league) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
