Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 50 minutes ago, Bring Back Paddy Flannery said: It’s slightly concerning me that we are 2 weeks into January and we are resorting to promoting youngsters from the u18s to bulk up the match day squad. I’d heard there were due to be a few trialists playing in the cancelled Pollok friendly but the fact we are playing them as trialists before offering any deals would suggest they maybe aren’t good enough to warrant us offering them a contract outright. We are in a fantastic position at the minute and strengthening that position really should have been in the works for a good while before January rolled around. Maybe we’ll see a couple of trialists on the bench today and this youngster is the second coming of Chris Turner. As it stands we seem to be getting weaker with injuries and suspensions whilst those around us, including today’s opponents, have already strengthened. You’re all welcome. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 That’s a superb bit of business if he’s fit and it’s exactly the type of signing I wanted us to make. A real statement of intent. Fair play Stevie Farrell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

microdave Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 My good run of starting match threads is at an end. It's been good fun but it's time to hand over the baton to someone else. Not you @FifeSons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorenzo71 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I genuinely had no idea we had signed Russell Mclean.Wasnt at the game and with our OS being so crappy I dont visit it much.When i saw R.Mclean i assumed it was Ross.Perhaps some Peterhead fans can tell us if he is a decent signing.He was before his injury but I do wonder about now.Anyone know if he was a FREE or was there a fee involved? Its good we have the cup next as it should give us time to get a fuller squad together for the Bonnyrigg game. Yesterday highlighted the need for central defensive cover.I would be all for Mcgeever going out on loan and maybe a loan cover coming in.I would keep Lynch assuming he is fully fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the best option so we are not tied to him for 18 months if it doesnt work out.If it does and he is free in the summer then maybe we could tie him down to a longer contract.I suppose it depends on what League we will be in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Big Rusty McLean's deal is a permanent one, albeit only until the end of the season. Which could be crucial if we end up playing Peterhead in the playoffs. https://www.peterheadfc.org/2023/01/14/rusty-departs/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most players at this level will leave for better wages, and we heard this shite about attitude about Ryan Wallace as well but he's been a great team player this year so far. Players attitudes change under different managers, if Farrell manages him well and he performs there will be very few qualms if he moves to a team able to pay more in the summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys are part-time lower league footballers and they would be daft to turn down more money elsewhere, I’d do the exact same thing. He wouldn’t be the first and he wouldn’t be the last to leave us for more money elsewhere and I don’t think any fans grudge a player making more elsewhere if they have earned it with good performances. For someone with attitude issues he looks to have a decent scoring record at a higher level than we operate at so again no one will really give a shit about that if he can bag a few goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
