V for Vendetta Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 We don't really need to sign squad players, not so much because the youths are the squad players but more because we already have bloody loads of squad level players. Reynolds, Considine, Ball, O'Connor etc Link to comment

We just have far too many shirt fillers at the moment, particularly around defence/defensive midfield We need either really good first team quality or young enough to develop and sell on type signings only.

I don't think I made that clear in my post. Link to comment
dave_min Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Ball gets a bit of stick, but he's definitely one of our better squad players. if he stays I'd be happy enough, but same if he leaves i suppose He's been reasonable, but I won't be forgiving the Hun cunt for his performance against Motherwell in the Semi.

Chewie37 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Certainly a better squad player than Tansey but that's not really much of an achievement.I don't think we should be signing ANY squad players if truth be told. That is what our youth players SHOULD be classed as.We should only be signing first team players & maybe a few young players with potential, like Ferguson.Hey, it's one of those lovely moments when we agree on something........group hug Link to comment

Surprised how well Ball has done lately In his natural position with a run of games and probably deserves a contract. Greg has quality and can be effective, maybe just needs a full pre season with us. Rogers is a done deal and I assume a few of the younger boys will be kept on. Ill be sad to see Arnie go again but not sure what he can offer especially if he wont be a starting player if he remains next season. Hope we can get Shinnie tied down early so we dont have to worry about it later. Link to comment
Byrne Baby Byrne Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I would like to think we can do better than Stewart and Ball. Here's hoping Link to comment
Site Sponsor Dom Sullivan Posted May 13, 2018 Site Sponsor Share Posted May 13, 2018 I would like to think we can do better than Stewart and Ball. Here's hopingStewart has shown in flashes that he has the ability but not being fit when he joined us didn't help cement a regular start. I'd take him again. Ball? The jury is still out. If his wage demands weren't outrageous, maybe. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Wonder how long the Ferguson contract will be.2 years with options or something maybe a bit bolder, showing faith in him early & not risk losing him for buttons to the Huns Link to comment
Geoff_Tipps Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Based on recent performances I wouldn't be adverse to offering Ball a permanent deal. Very handy player in the holding role. Never really got a fair crack of the whip and was hung out to dry in the semi against Motherwell. Link to comment

V for Vendetta Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I don't particularly mind if Ball and/or Stewart were retained. As far as I can see it's not the standard of player that's been at fault in our poorer spells. It's the tactics, team selection, team understanding, fluidity and general performance level at times.

BWG Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Currently our first XI looks a lot like this: Lewis Logan Devlin McKenna Considine Wright Tansey Shinnie GMS Cosgrove May Goes without saying that isn't going to cut it. Mulumbu, McGeouch, Crawford, Kamara, Kamberi, Jones... we need to get some signings pronto. Hopefully McInnes actually does his job this summer instead of fucking about speaking to other clubs and then panic signing a bunch of shite loanees. 1 1 Link to comment

Hopefully McInnes actually does his job this summer instead of fucking about speaking to other clubs and then panic signing a bunch of shite loanees.You forgot McGinn and I'd say both Campbell and Ferguson will be ahead of Tansey. Mulumbu was just doing his old gaffer a favour I think and rumours abound that Mcgeough is signing for Blackburn. I think Jones would be out of our price range. If that's Ali Crawford then no thanks.

BWG Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Oh aye forgot McGinn my bad. It did feel a bit light when I read it back. I guess we'll see just how much of this AberDNA money really goes into the kitty. If they turn around and say there's no money, after netting 500K from the scheme, then they can fuck right off.

Sheepo Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I would certainly be trying to keep Ball, not too sure about Stewart, I think Tansey will be moved on as will Rooney Link to comment
RAZOR Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Ali Crawford?! Behave.He's away to Hibs anyway isn't he? Link to comment
Tord31 Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 chidi has announced he's away other announcements tomorrow would be odd if any of the experienced players signed on this late in the day. expect they'll all be away and at least half of the u20s Link to comment

Guest milne_afc Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Need to get Shinnie on a longer deal if he's to carry on as captain. Link to comment
TheRock Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Look forward to seeing him starting for Man City next season. Link to comment
