He has maybe had to adjust his expectations both financially and in terms of the level of club that might be interested. Might have realised that a step back to go forward might be needed. I doubt Christian Eriksen ever saw Brentford as an end destination. I think eriksen will be ragin he left tbf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richey Edwards Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I thought I was bad needing four+ coffees to be up to speed and at my best. At least I don't need six football matches every morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might face a similar situation with Bangala when he finally appears. He’s someone that if you give him time to get up to speed he could win matches for you. I think a lot of teams are being put off by his health condition albeit he said himself it’s not so much of an issue now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other aspect is that even a half fit Scott Allan is miles ahead of anyone we have creativity wise... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrunitedfw Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 A fully fit Scott Allan would comfortably be the best player in the league. No idea what sort of relationship he had with Mathie at hibs but I’d be seriously disappointed if we haven’t at least asked the question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what sort of relationship he had with Mathie at hibs but I’d be seriously disappointed if we haven’t at least asked the question. IIRC Mathie tried to punt him to St Mirren to make room for Jamie McGrath. Allan dug his heels in which means Hibs missed out on a new player. No idea if that soured the relationship but Ron Gordon used that horrendous transfer window as justification for sacking Mathie I’m sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanayr1987 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I’d give my right arm to have someone like Scott Allan. Seems strange though that no one has taken a punt on him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazka6 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) I dunno guys I’ve read the article again and he makes no mention of training, getting the head down etc to win a deal ala Griffiths, you could, and I’m not saying I am, take it that he thinks he deserves a shot because he played X amount of games for Hibs. And excuse my ignorance but what difference does it make if he drops dead on a teams pitch? It doesn’t seem that he’s been advised not to play.

Mentions he’s been in contact with cardiologists so you’d have to imagine they have advised him it’s safe to keep playing or at the very least the chances of that happening are very low. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of teams are being put off by his health condition albeit he said himself it’s not so much of an issue now. That’s the thing for me. If we keep waiting for the perfect player to fall out the sky then we’ll be waiting indefinitely - we’re at a point now where we’re going to have to commit to someone. If we were willing to invest a little time in Allan (who I’m sure is fit enough, though lacking match fitness) then it could be critical over the season. I think most of us who see Ayr regularly remain really concerned about the lack of creativity in midfield. Heaven knows what we do if Dipo gets hurt. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munro7 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 For anyone going to Cove this weekend I’ve been told there’s a fanzone at the stadium which is open to away fans pre and post match. It’s at the opposite end of the stand from the away entrance and is apparently open from 12-8. Disclaimer - I have no idea what beers etc they serve and this is more of a public service announcement than an endorsement! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Adams was essentially by as a footballer, his body couldn't cope with full time football any more. He had an agreement with McCall that he'd play if he could, Bell had a similar agreement. If any club signs Allan then it would have to be on that arrangement. There would have to be sufficient cover if he wasn't available. The cost of insuring him may be prohibitive to clubs as well. It may be the stumbling block to a lot of folk signing him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
