In truth we can only hope to capture players who are not playing with their current team. If they're not playing, how could anyone say that player x or y is good enough? This is exactly why our close season signing activity was shit. Limited funds? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bully_wee Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 If Goodwillie isn't working elsewhere, then that just further proves that he's on a very healthy wage relative to the rest of our squad. With that said, 'JBJ' has previous for needlessly challenging people on topics he supposedly has ITK info surrounding, even back when he didn't type in broken Scottish slang. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he not on about 25k a week at Blackburn? I’m sure there’ll be other reasons than the wage Clyde are giving him just now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure there’ll be other reasons than the wage Clyde are giving him just now I doubt he'd have signed a 3.5 year contract with us, having been the subject of serious interest from full-time clubs in the preceding year, if the terms of the deal didn't make him our top earner by some distance. I don't purport to have any first-hand or inside information, but there is a pretty unanimous consensus among folk who are close to Goodwillie/the club which suggests he isn't on a typical part-time footballer's wage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Blackburn's more established players back then I don't think would've been on any more than 30k.

Lancs live described it as a lucrative 4 year deal. Either way he’s going to have some serious cash 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Having been the subject of serious interest from full-time clubs in the preceding year", you say. Interesting. Between Jan 2017 and March 2017, Caledonian Amatuer League team, Doune Castle was able to sign Goodwillie, despite this "serious interest"? Worthy of debate as to just who these full-time clubs were showing, "serious interest". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutty Sark Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Don't see Goodwillie going anywhere in this window. Nobody will stump up the cash to match our wages, which I'm led to believe take up a good chunk of the playing budget...as you'd expect. On the player front we should be looking at decent loan signings like the St.Mirren lads from last season. Right back, a tandem in midfield and big bullying centre half would be lovely! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLClyde Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Was Goodwillie not working with Kevin Nicol in his second job? I’m sure I remember seeing that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Burton Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Doubt there will be as many loan signings available with teams worried about players being out with Covid.We got a fee for Mitchell just before the last transfer window shut so surely we still have that alongside any other available funds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is odd as you'd have thought the value of player:worth the adverse publicity ratio declines as he gets older. Would have made more sense if someone had come in for him aged 29 than 32. I think there is two reasons why more to it this year 1. He is the top scorer not just in L1 but in all of Scotland so that will get you noticed. 2. Have heard on the grapevine that the player would like another shot at a higher level (which is the more worrying thing) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit to my naivety in thinking we would have had players lined up ready to sign immediately in January. I would be surprised if we sign any player this month as everyone, like DGW, will be under contract, so we wont pay for a player on top of his wages. Only hope is picking up a few on loan i think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
