Roxanne's man Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 4 minutes ago, Superhursy7 said: McCall loves signing his ex players Hasn't really got him anywhere, has it? He's meant to be improving his team, not taking players who weren't even the best in their position at their club. McCall has continually signed pretty much the same team the whole time he's been back in football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 Wonder if Muirhead had signed back in January given their post mentions a pre contract.Surely we wouldn’t have offered him a contract in that case and just announced him along with Fjortoft and Gondoh. Think there’s definitely been conversations given they tried to sign him in January but I don’t think anything would’ve been signed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Baird is a decent central defender but his first season gave away a goal a game. Always switched off and left his man in the box. He was also a silent captain during the lockdown games when the team needed a lift and we looked uninterested and had zero fight. Since he was dropped he never put a foot wrong in the games he was asked to play in and maybe that was Bullens reason to offer him a new deal. Dempsey is the player I was most keen to keep. Our season changed when he signed and a gap that was created when Docherty left was finally filled. If he needs an operation or treatment then the club should send him for it now because he will be a big player for us. I am guessing today was the deadline for agreeing new deals. Maybe they are mixing good news with bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cop Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Looks like we paid a fee for Dempsey, according to Charlton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely looking for continuity if true. Glad one of these has gone through. Hopefully see another… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 Glad one of these has gone through. Hopefully see another…Reading or McInroy imo. Don’t think there’s anyone else out of contract besides Adeloye but I don’t think the club would even offer him that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_carson Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Great bit of business done with Dempsey. If we can land McInroy that's a good midfield three with Murdoch. Smith looked like great against Thistle so hopefully he can maintain that and get more game time next season and be looking to break in there. I was surprised Baird was offered a new deal at all, given how little game time he had but as many have said it was probably a deal with vastly reduced terms and probably reflecting the fact he'd be bin juice. Sad to see Muirhead go in a way, was a good player for us and one of the few that looked like he cared last season. That said, he's not irreplaceable and it means we are getting the surgery on our defense we desperately needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 After this deal I'd say it's likely if Kerr or Tomi re-sign it'll be on at least a two year deal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Wonder if Brexit plays in to some of the deals we are giving out. There are still vast amounts of money in the English domestic game but they can’t spend it on low ranking foreign jobbers any more. Taking in a player like Dempsey, offering a 3 year deal and hopefully making him a player with a greater reputation means we can hopefully turn him for some cash in 18 months time, if not we have a decent player for 3 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUcal Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Really happy with that Dempsey signing. We now have him and Murdoch long term which is huge. What a start to Monday. Here's hoping it's a sign of good things to come. Not fussed at all about Baird being gone. Good luck to him but I'm hopeful we can find much better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or they’re just being proper because his Ayr contract hasn’t actually ran out yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richey Edwards Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I was pleased when we signed Baird, as he was good for St Mirren previously. However, he has been disappointing so it's no great loss that he's away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I am less concerned with Adeloye re-signing than I was about Dempsey and Murdoch. Getting really good central midfielders is a lot harder to get than a decent forward. Although if we were to go in to the season with Ashford, Bryden and McKenzie as the forwards we better be keeping clean sheets 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
