Archie McSquackle Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 He fully deserves his chance to make some serious money from the game to use as a pension. A 3 year deal with an English Championship club could set him up for life and he must be casting envious glances at McKenna. I'm just wondering if we'll get anything for him - is he out of contract at the end of this season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelmen Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 And all the ‘expert’ pundits dropped him for McKenna.You wonder what Craig halkett as thinking. He was considered the better centre half leaving livi. Dec is now an established international and should be playing in a major tournament next year and well on his way to another big move and halkett is in the championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering if we'll get anything for him - is he out of contract at the end of this season? Aye, he's out of contract in the summer. It was a two year deal he signed. Quote "Declan Gallagher has signed a pre-contract agreement with the club. The 6ft 5in centre back will join the club in the summer on a two-year deal, following the expiry of his current contract with Livingston." Link If nothing else he's been another in the line of players who have been able to use the club as a platform to build his career. He didn't cost us anything and we're making good on our promise to make him a better player (around 40 seconds in the wee video below from last year). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Hopefully someone's had a word with Watt that he's got a shot at making the squad if he stays "motivated" all season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it in my head for some reason that he had signed an extension. Wishful thinking unfortunately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Hopefully someone's had a word with Watt that he's got a shot at making the squad if he stays "motivated" all season.He really has. Our striking options outside Dykes and Griffiths (when he's 100% fit) are poor and a fit, motivated Tony Watt is definitely no worse an option than Mcburnie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desp Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Wouldn't be massively surprised if Celtic take a punt on Gallagher, either in January or in the summer for hee-haw. With his Mrs due again, it would provide a massive boost in wages with no need to up sticks and move away. Considering the clusterfuck they've made by paying £50k a week for Shane Duffy, it's a money saver for them as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 If any English club fancy him they won’t be put off by buying out the one year extension that any loyal internationalist would sign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is going to be a massive factor in the remainder of the season, I reckon. Everyone and their maw running themselves into the ground to sit next to Andrew Considine and I'm ready for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I'm sure you've all been sitting in anticipation, but Jordan White no longer breaks my ranking model, and isn't even bottom of it. He sits in 137th place, out of 138, with Junior Morais at St Mirren the only player below him. Moult is now 22nd in terms of strikers over the past 4 seasons for his 17/18 season, if you exclude the players this season (small sample size alert), he's 19th. Still not finished yet so he might go higher. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a decent return but a lot of the things that endeared him to folk - lobbing goalies, running himself into the ground, scoring a ridiculous amount of goals against the OF, Aberdeen and Accies- aren't exactly things you can quantify empirically. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf he's dragged down by only playing half of 17/18, as minutes played are now used in conjunction with club ELO. If I put his 16/17 season in he should be close, or in, the top 10 overall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually made a mistake, it's Craig Wighton who's below him, for 18/19. White above him by the simple fact I added in aerial duels won, so White has now done something, while Wighton done literally nothing. Ratings for this season are low due to a lack of minutes compared to previous seasons, but Chris Long is on course for a stinking score. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
