Dick Van Dyke Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 If we’re only giving Vertainen a 2 year deal it must be an absolute minimal fee we’re paying 5-7.5k or something. Surely you’d protect your investment with a 3 year deal if we’d payed anything decent 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 2 hours ago, PauloPerth said: He should have been starting with a dossier of loads of players and their values. Surely the signing of Vertainen highlights that he did exactly that? Less than a week after he started, the player was in Scotland, with a fee agreed with Ilves and terms with the player. Are we to believe he only had one name on his list, or are there other factors at play here? Wish I could find the quote but Davidson said a few weeks ago that we, and I paraphrase, were "interested in a lot of good players and just deciding who to move for" so what has happened there? There is no way that any Head of Recruitment, who will formulate long-term plans, would just fill a squad with loans as we have done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I read on a Finnish news site that the fee was €30k. His contract expired at the end of the year. @Dick Van Dyke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviemay17 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 The most damning thing about all of this is that it simply cannot be defended If the plan was to simply replace our best players with fringe-player standard loan signings then that is some staggering incompetence If we've just panicked and not through it through then it shows the decision-makers can't be trusted to make decisions Neither has anything redeeming about it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyellowbox Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Of course, with our big 'war chest' we could offer some pretty tasty pre contracts in January for players and increase the offers to some of the existing players. Fast forward to next summer, McCann goes for £10m to a newly promoted Blackburn, saints have taken in £4m in total for McCann and we are preparing for a European Janut.... to Berwick in first round of challenge cup Nah, it stings a bit now, but while may not be a glorious season, we will plod along and go again in the summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shibbydoo Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 After taking a few hours to calm down - I wish Kerr & McCann all the very best (although I've already deleted my reminders on Livescore for the NI games - who cares!) Maybe these replacements will be great, the Belgium boy should be decent, Crawford is proven, but under no circumstances should we ever LOAN a player from St Mirren. It is what it is, we got more than we thought for Kerr, and less than we though for Ali. Lets cheers whoever's left on until the end of Dec and see where that takes us. COYS. Now, time to move onto Scotland making us feel sick tonight instead. Wouldn't change it for the world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back four of Rooney, Gordon, McCart and Booth to see is through to January. Brown, Devine, Dendoncker, and Muller, as back up. Wotherspoon, MOH, Middleton and maybe Vertainen as wide options. Davidson, Craig, Bryson, Crawford, MacPherson, Gilmour, Ballantyne as central options, unless the latter two go out on loan. Kane, Vertainen, May and Hendry as striker options. It's not great and should be better, but I'm not convinced it's an abysmal squad. January will be a big window for us though, but I'd imagine we'll be more prepared for it than this one.

There's no doubt we could be doing with something to make us more of a goalscoring threat, especially at home. Crawford and McPherson have always struck me as more attacking midfielders. Be interesting to see what the plan is for the team... Very tough first few matches. Surely has to stick with a back three against rangers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviemay17 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 It's been some time since i felt this, but there's just nothing that excites me in terms of the prospect of actually watching this team this season, just dread 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me that seems our strongest side just now, tbh. Only get one sub per position so Gilmour/Ballantyne miss out as they'll surely get loans, and May more likely to play wide than Hendry. I think MacPherson is an attack minded CM, rather than a CAM, if that sounds right and isn't too wanky. Not sure we can rely on him to win the ball a lot, but I don't think he'll let us down. It's not a dreadful squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
