Didnt realise he had fallen out of favour with you and had been released. Would absolutely take him to compliment Docherty/Bannigan. I'm a bit late to this but Dunfermline apparently *edit* Nevermind, it's been posted above I was just searching his name Edited June 7, 2022 by ATLIS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been stranger things happen in football but given his love in for the navy blue I doubt he'll end up at Dunfermline. QP's sugar daddy has gazumped us the last time it was mentioned in our thread, apparently dishing out some lovely signing on bonuses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagsCG Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Don’t really understand players signing pre-contracts with potentially relegated clubs, when if they’re a decent enough player (like Sibbald is) they’ll still get another club when they’re a free agent anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was very close to signing for them on loan in January, Dunfermline refused to pay his wages. He had agreed to go, as has he agreed a precontract 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair precontracts aren’t worth anything until they’re official. You can walk away from one without any repercussions - in Scotland anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that Dowds could play on the right-wing in a 3-4-3? Given Graham’s abysmal form in the 2nd half of the season, I will be astonished if Dowds isn’t the main striker next season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mediocre Pundit Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Pretty sure Graham was playing injured for a fair bit of the second half of the season. He’s fine as our main striker as long as we have someone running off him (like Rudden in the first half of the season - when Graham played his best stuff) and adequate cover to avoid relying on him too much (better than MacIver and Alegria) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 If we're basing who's going to be a starter on form over the 2nd half of the season we'll be looking for almost an entirely new team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s got to be a priority. That said, anyone only looking at Graham’s 2nd half of the season is doing him a massive disservice given he was injured for much of it (and still played - such is his character) and he himself admitted he struggled to recover from long covid. A good pre-season behind him and he could still have a very vital role to play next season. The loss of Rudden (or the lack of signing an adequate replacement) also hampered Graham, they had worked up a decent partnership where Zak didn’t mind doing most of the running and hard graft. McCall did mention he was likely planning to go with a 4-3-3, which would mean one of Dowds or Graham, that might increase the likeliness of a third choice striker being a prospect or Premiership loan.
