diegomarahenry Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Would Rangers let him go on a free based on a sell on from Livi, therefor hoping he develops there, playing premier league football? Could Livi match or better his wage at Rangers? Can Ayr persuade Kelly that Ayr are a better option? Assuming Ayr pick up a % of his wage, he’ll earn the same money for the season, he’ll be free to negotiate his own deal next summer. Assuming there is any truth in it at all, I think it would be about 70/30 in Livi’s favour 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanayr1987 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) Could we maybe agree a free but insert a sell on percentage? after all surely with the money not paid to mcinroy and adeloye he’s be worth offering a little more Edited September 1, 2022 by ryanayr1987 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrunitedfw Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) Could you please maybe try for a permanent deal? Really low fee but give rangers an option of a buy back similar to what we did with Houston. A midfield 3 of Murdoch, Dempsey and Kelly is *chefs kiss* ETA: @ryanayr1987 great minds eh?

diegomarahenry Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 We signed Steven Boyak from Dundee in the Daziel era with the understanding that Dundee would be due all of any transfer fee we made from selling him. He was shite and we freed him in the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough I believe that Houston and Kelly are really good mates, so one thing in our favour would be the good reports that I'd imagine Houston has given him about life under Bullen and the new regime. That said, I still find it unbelievable that we would SERIOUSLY be in with a chance of signing him but I suppose we can dream..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roxanne's man Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I've been going to Ayr games since I was 8 in 1998. I've seen a good few loan signings since then. Some good (Corrie Ndaba, Ross Docherty etc) and some naff (Johnathan Afolabi, Derek Adams, Brett McGavin***) I'm still relatively young in my Ayr supporting career, so could I please ask who the worst loan Ayr have had is and why? ***Never seen him play, Couldn't have been that good if he couldn't get a game in that team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji16][emoji106] ***Never seen him play, Couldn't have been that good if he couldn't get a game in that team. Docherty was never on loan was he? Sure we got him when he left Airdrie. Worst loans are funny because they can be shite for different reasons. Jack Ruddy is one of the worst for ability and attitude. But you get guys that come here and disappear after a few weeks or just don’t play. Innes Cameron and Jamie Thomas spring to mind. McGavin is the best example of that. A loan that we never ever got the best out of was Nicky Cadden. I actually liked him for us but he never got a good run of games and then picked up an injury couple of games left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Reynolds is surely the answer for worst career trajectory. Packed it in after being with us to go sell ice cream. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadden definitely falls in to the same "good players, poor loan spells" category as Scott Tiffoney and Bruce Anderson in recent seasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mugen_power Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Was it Nisbet we had on loan who took the huff, feigned injury then was never seen again? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
