We have told everyone who is being freed / leaving so assume everyone else out of contract has been offered terms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay21 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 McCall had his meeting with the board yesterday , a number of players have been offered contracts, and not surprisingly some have been offered less than the season just ended 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they were seen as 1st choice last year, but are only deemed good enough for a place on the bench this year, due to age / past injuries / form? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only guys left that I can think of are Geggan, Moffat, Moore, Crawford, McDaid, Bell & Kerr, plus Adams who was apparently already offered a pay per play contract ? Being honest, I'd be happy if they all stayed but that would be with the caveat that they all proved their fitness for the following season as I thought Adams looked finished (although just returning from a long term injury) and both Kerr & Moffat looked as if they had just emptied in the past couple of months. On the other hand, they are all replaceable at this stage of their careers and the likes of Crawford & McDaid although promising much, both fail to deliver time and time again, so I'd also have them in the happy to stay, but not devastated if they leave category. Geggan, Bell & Moffat have all been great servants and I believe they all still have something to offer, especially as squad players, but I suppose McCall will know best and then it's up to the guys to look after their own interests.......... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't disagree too much but I don't think I could watch Robbie continually turning back for another season, it's so frustrating watching him doing it even when he has 5 or 10 yards of space in front of him, Saturday is the 1st game in a long time where he went on the front foot at every opportunity and what a difference it made. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I do know what you mean, he's extremely frustrating (to say the least) although I think part of that is McCall's fault for playing him out wide. I do think he retains possession well though and I'd want to keep him unless we were signing someone with a pedigree to replace him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on earth would Adams, Bell and Geggan, for example, be offered the same as they were on last year? It would be madness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 Probably the eternally injured ones and the ones whose legs appear to be gone a bit.Bell, Adams, Moore and Kerr have probably been offered lower terms. The first 3, if they sign on, won’t be first choice players and considering Adams has been offered a pay as you play contract McCall is probably looking to shift as much money onto better Championship players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't help but feel that you would also have been extremely disappointed if we had done the total opposite and offered improved terms to the players being mentioned above to try and convince them to stay and have the team built around them.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 If Bell for example is being offered a contract then I can’t see him being a first team player like last season. So he should be on a wage that reflects his role in the team. I’m quite pleased that the renewals have been offered which means we should hear soon who’s being released. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naw Ayr want a keeper who is good with his feet Fox is awful and takes to many chances and gets robbed for tap ins which is why he did no better than a few seasons in SPL with one off the lowest paying clubs Rangers got 5 good keepers and one will be going out not McCrorie the other one the Scotland under 19 keeper Would be a good loan with somebody else even Doolan again back on loan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t really care less how well a goalie can pass so long as he does the basics of goalkeeping properly. Fox would be good but Doohan is the first option for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doolan is better than Fox with his feet and is learning Kieran Wright is the Rangers keeper meant to be a top prospect Being a modern keeper being good and comfortable with your feets very important with the rule changes Just look at Liam Kelly at Livvy just now courted by some top clubs and that is one off the reasons why Cos that is the modern goalkeeper Edited May 17, 2019 by Tartan Tammy 1297 Clarity 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Doohan isn’t great with his feet. I couldn’t really care less how well a goalie can pass so long as he does the basics of goalkeeping properly. Fox would be good but Doohan is the first option for me. Fox is about the best keeper county have had with the ball at his feet. A couple of high profile boo boos doesn’t change that. I doubt Fox is going to Ayr, with all respect, as he’s got a better offer than County were able - or willing - to give him. It’s definitely important if you have a team which plays the ball out from the back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A goalkeepers job is to stop the ball going into the net. If they can do that whilst also being comfortable coming for crosses then I’ll take them. Liam Kelly isn’t being courted because he can play 5 yard passes to his defenders. Unless you want to set a team up to play out from the back then there’s no need to look for a goalie that can pass comfortably. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
