Same. He was our best CB last season, although it was pretty much by default. Being better than Danny Devine and Niall Keown isn't exactly something to stick on the CV.

[jagfox]

I'd probably take GGGH playing libero over Tam Scobbie...

[Sting777]

Harkins and Scobbie.....jeez pass me the razor blades!!! 

[Thistle4eva]

Harkins can bolt f**k that. We have Erskine who is probably a better option than Harkins surely? Aw well merry Christmas everyone. 

[Reid]

We should be in the market for a left back as we only have Penrice, and even then there's a school of thought he's better in centre midfield where his lack of pace isn't such an issue. Caldwell was adamant at the Q&A that he's a left back, although christ knows what goes on in his head. If we do sign Harkins I wouldn't rule out him being put back to sweeper to tie in with the "philosophy" 

He also said he sees Storey as a winger yet played him as a striker (with Fitzpatrick) with Doolan playing in behind. The man talks shite.

Slater has been better than Bannigan this season. Bannigan has been responsible for giving away goals, has a poorer disciplinary record and hasn’t scored. Not to say Slater has been great - it’s more that he’s just been one of the less shite people this season.
Thistle fans look fondly upon their own, and it’s good that Bannigan will get a chance to get back to his previous level with us, but I’m not sure there’s any reasonable argument for him having had a better season than Craig Slater.

On those criteria you are probably right about Slater although Slater has been responsible for giving away goals too.
Bannigan finds a Thistle player more often than Slater does in a position to start an attack. It is unfortunate that those attacks come to nothing.

Told yous when you played Albion Rovers that yous were pish! Seems have came to fruition! I will accept all apologies [emoji23] cause yous might go down again 🤷🏻‍♂️

Don’t agree sorry. Bannigan better at tackling, but this season I think Slater been slightly better in most departments.

Rumour is you're taking Darren O'Dea off our hands come January on a 2 year deal. Would be a bit of a blow as he's proved doubters wrong this season and has become our first choice CH again after looking like he was a goner in August.

Apparently on a massive wage with us though and will allow McIntyre to manoeuvre in January what O'Dea sacrifices money for a bit of longer term security.

I questioned the validity of the rumour but he ran into the crowd and gave a fan his shirt at the end of the game today, it's been all over the Dundee forum as well as me getting told it today at the game.

If it's a lot of shite, I'd be happy as we need him at the moment but thought I'd share regardless.

If he is on a massive wage not sure how we could afford it you guys are a premier league club with very decent attendances, sometimes we only get a third of the crowd that you guys will get

[Armand 2]

Gary Caldwell; building for the future.

[cilitbang]

O’Dea, possibly Harkins too

If we’re going for ex Dees’ then can we get Hemmings plox?

Normally I look at O’Dea as a useless knob that Doolan always gets the better of and winds up at the sametime. Thats said, our current CB’s are shit and we could do with a sore loser in the dressing room like O’Dea. 

ETA I’d take McGowan too if McIntyre wants to further rip apart that Dundee team.

I think Darren O’Dea is an utter fanny, but I’m almost certain he’d be an improvement on our shambles of a CB group, so sign me up.

[Cerberus]

O'Dea maybe but Harkins is done.

The parachute payments will help.

[Midlife Crisis]

No to Scobbie, Sammon, O’Dea, Harkins.

When relegation is confirmed in April and Caldwell is sacked, we don’t want saddled with his duds.

Is there any of that fabulous reward for abject failure available? 

[VladimirMooc]

Harkins, Cardle, O’Dea, Scobbie. Is signing old journeymen on high wages all part of Caldwell’s philosophy/process/evolution/insertownpseudoscientificwordhere? 

Absolutely reeking of desperation signings.
