Dunning1874 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I still think there could be a player in Nesbitt, but I'm happy to see him go. The lack of end product didn't justify a new deal. If it's only those four being announced so far, I guess it's possible Nesbitt has also chosen to leave himself and decisions are still to be made on the rest, or they'll be announcing everyone we're releasing this afternoon when we also announce a new deal for someone good or a new signing. They wouldn't be talking about exciting news coming up if it was a new contract for Blues or Orsi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scosha Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I had high hopes a couple of seasons ago when we signed Nesbitt but he’s just not good enough imo. I didn’t think he was great the season before last either, and with Cadden running the show I think it let him off the hook a wee bit. He’ll no doubt end up at Ayr though - just hope he doesn’t do a Shankland on us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I right in saying MCT are going with a squad of 15/16 next season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colkitto Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Happy with the managerial appointments as it keeps a bit of continuity about the place. Gus had very little to work with up front so can't be too critical of his time so far as he got us over the line. Interesting that there is signing news this afternoon on the player front! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoon Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 No feelings towards Nesbitt either way. A decent player clearly with a bit of room to grow still, but his lack of end product was infuriating - highlighted pretty well in the game a week ago. Gus, I really don’t know. I wanted nothing to do with him a couple of weeks ago as did most of the support. It’s a gamble, but there were worse options out there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it'll be as small as that, but I would expect an emphasis on quality over quantity in building a core first team squad then supplementing the bench with the likes of Wylie, McGrattan and Easdale when required, rather than the Hopkin approach of stockpiling a dozen pish forwards then using 29 players over the course of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#Gary Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Gus obviously seen and commented on a lot of the squads shortcomings last season, but it worries me that there was no 'bounce' and the approach we took in the final few games of the regular season. It also worries me that he's clearly a fan of Blues, Oliver and Muirhead. The best part of that news is that Nesbitt is going though. Hopefully it is to Ayr or another competitor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me if there is no mention of players and its a new strip. "Exciting signing news" is what it says, so surely either a new signing or someone we were worried about losing as opposed to some jobbers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye seen the word signing once I posted doh! That must either be the Montrose boy, Ledger, Jacobs or McAdams. Any other current player wont be exciting and they know that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#Gary Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Falkirk taking Nesbitt. As much as I have hated watching him for us, he could be alright for a mid table league one club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Dropping down a league might be the best thing for him. He needs to build up his confidence and, maybe with some decent coaching, he can work on his decision making and final ball. Ye'd imagine he'll be seeing a fair amount of it at the right end of the pitch for Falkirk but, then again, they are a mid-table seaside league team who finished closer to the relegation play off than top spot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ghost of B A R P Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Mixed feelings. He started and finished his initial stint well, but in between there were some worrying signs. Two-year deal suggests the new guys have been shouting ‘stability, stability’ at each other at every meeting... but I’d hope there’s a break clause in there. Fully expect to have mixed feelings about signing news to come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Two year deal as well, excellent. If we can keep him then maybe losing Ledger and McAdams isn't a foregone conclusion either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost of B A R P Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 ‘Stability!’ Also, maybe, an indication that we might be willing to get seriously involved in the recruitment game by offering two-year deals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#Gary Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) If there was one player from those out of contract that I would keep, it'd be Kyle Jacobs. Happy enough with that. Edited May 28, 2021 by #Gary 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be doing it for a significant number of players as it could backfire horribly, but if it's the tipping point in convincing one of the best players at the club to stay then it's a good decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
