east fife for life Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Loan market will be our best option. Hopefully Smith can use his connections wisely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fifer Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) "Club thanks players The Club would like to express its appreciation to the following players who have been released or signed for other clubs for their efforts during the season: Mark Hurst: Alex Cooper: Ross Brown: Jordan Austin: Scott Robinson: Nicki Paterson: Kieran Duffie: Jesse Curran: Jason Kerr: James Penrice and Luke Watt. We wish them all the best for the future." Some won't be missed that much, some are a massive loss. Think Barry has a tough task on his hands this summer.

Ludo*1 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Bit harsh on Jesse Curran considering he was just a loan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WullieBroonIsGod Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 So the names missing from that list that aren't already signed up Goodfellow, Page, Duggan If they were offered new deals, then I'd be delighted Reilly and Tony Wallace also not accounted for. (unless I've misundersttod their contract status) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambuslang Fifer Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Lamont as he hasn't had much 90mins to go on this season that's my opinion as for Reilly and Tony I have seen enough to suggest, I wouldn't blame Ben turning us down for first team football elsewhere. As for Mutch, did the kid no signed a longer deal under Naysmith or was I believing the tooth fairy before he was put out loan to Glenrothes I would have him around in the squad just because of development nothing else. but I'm hoping the other three sign!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fifer Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Not that it'll be much of a surprise but Insall is away as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanDrew Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Tony Wallace has the benefit in that Barry Smith hasn't seen him play , I'm sure once he does see him then he'll be freed. I'd like to see Ricky Little from Arbroath, Ryan Wallace, Alex Harris freed from Hibs for starters. Thoughts & suggestions? Just noticed striker Dale Hilson is a free agent, played a lot of games for a 24yr old, good experience 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fifer Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 There's no need to panic about numbers in the squad in my opinion. The season's not even finished, and Barry will want to build his own team. I'm going to go ahead and make a wild assumption that the players that play part time in our leagues, around 70% will be out of contract as clubs only seem to offer 1 year deals most of the time. Obviously you have to discount the players living in Glasgow, up north etc that won't do the travelling but there'll be plenty players available. Just depends on what budget we have, and whether or not we used the budget in the same way this season with going with such a small squad again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-zero Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Mark docherty from Dumbarton for left back Glasgow based though so maybe not practical can't think of much east coast players. If dale carrick is released from Livingston could be a good signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grant1903 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I've always rated Ricky little and lynes fae Brechin for right back,Forfar hav a few handy players i.e. O'brien,cox and peters,maybe com if forfar stay down 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewan_fife Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Just got to be patient, still early days and players still under contract. In barry we trust! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
east fife for life Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 It's that time of year again where we all name players we would love to sign and I could be here all day naming players but we will just have to be patient I suppose as Barry won't know what funds are available until the club shift season tickets and with the price increase I doubt it will be more than last season. Just need to hope for the best. Interesting few weeks coming up that's for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Ricky little O'brien Put a 4 in front of Ricky's name and a 6 in front of O'Briens name and it could be mistaken for one of our team sheets next season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
