NorthBank Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Maybe. Or maybe he did not like living up North. Or maybe his girlfriend got a new job in Glasgow. Or maybe McIntyre didn't want him. Or maybe he is shite. Or maybe the terms were not good enough. Or maybe someone can indicate what the real reason is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Last time we signed a player from relegation rivals in January he went on to lift the league cup as our captain. No pressure big chap ha. Just score 15 goals and keep us up :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donaldo Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Any idea why County did not offer Arquin a new contract? He had apparently agreed to extend his contract earlier in the season (before Adams was shown the door if I remember correctly). But lately he'd indicated that he didn't want to stay. He can be a bit moody as the Notts County fans warned us about. He hadn't really been the same player since he went AWOL before the Hearts game last year at the start of the split. I reckon he'll do ok for St Mirren to start off with, but as has been said if he isn't feeling loved, he'll take the huff and then will only occasionally turn in a good performance.

NorthBank Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Thanks donaldo Edit to add: And we will love any striker we sign as we do not have any while Thommo is injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingdong1929 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Any idea why County did not offer Arquin a new contract? There had been rumours he was unhappy, but no-one knew what was wrong with him. A couple of months ago a fan asked a player why, during training, Arquin seemed so distanced from the group and unhappy, the player said "no-one knows whats wrong with him". Which as good a source as I have... He started well for us, but then went AWOL for a game against Hearts at the tail-end of last season, with only 'personal reasons' given as an explanation. His body language and performances continually regressed this season, and he was in and out of the team. Which came to a head in January when his contract was up for renewal, with him asking to be released, and management wanting to release him. According to Notts County fans, and Hereford fans (his last two clubs before us), he did the same with them. So he appears to be quite a sensitive guy with issues that his last few clubs have been unable to manage, so he got unhappy and his form suffered. I don't know him personally, so am not unsure if he has real issues or is a spoiled p***k. As I was a fan of his I'm tempted to think the former rather than the latter, but no-one seems to know what the craic is. Ultimately, he didnt seem happy and he wasnt playing well, so he didnt get/want a new contract. EDIT: Maybe worth noting that he had reportedly agreed an extended contract at the start of the season, but it cant have been signed as he was released in January (when his original contract expired) 2ND EDIT: What Donaldo said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to be very moody then. He will get abuse if he doesn't score 10 goals in his first 2 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I need St Mirren to do badly, or we will likely be relegated, then I'll be sad. Its a clear-cut case of him or me - so f**k him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore he is shite at this level. Callum Ball is shite. Adam Morgan is shite. Michael Ngoo is shite. Gregory Tade is not shite. He may not have been prolific - although I'd happily take a nine-goal a season striker - but he's not shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Tade was shite for us, not got stats as I'm on my phone but his record for us and St Johnstone was brutal. Therefore he is shite at this level. He was a very useful player for us in a team that finished 3rd in the league. He has absolutely no technique to speak of, but his pace, power and workrate gave him a place in our squad and he would do a job for anyone in the top flight outside of Celtic. His scoring record was skewed by him playing wide for much of his time with us. We played one up front, Steven Maclean, so Tade, Vine and Hasselbaink largely shared the wide duties between them. I'd have Tade back in a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 He scored the opener as you went on to win 2-1, didn't he? He did. A very good, first time finish. When he acted on instinct, he was brilliant and unpredictable. When he had time, he tended to fall on his arse or miss the ball. He was the master of winning a header and then chasing (and winning) his own knock down He also had the most blatant stonewaller of a penalty turned down against Celtic at Celtic Park. We scored from the resulting corner (which was an even more incredible decision consider Tade had battered the ball out, past Ambrose, who then kicked his legs away from under him at about knee height) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
