Andy_123 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Sure it's been a promising start, but it's been against part time players. Even Bates and Gallagher would probably have looked decent enough against the two teams, and we know they were absolutely pish. Playing football is a lot easier when you aren't under pressure, which lets face it he hasn't been at all yet. Link to comment

I'll be holding off passing judgement on him until I've seen how he fares for the first month or 2 once the league games start. Aye we all thought Bates had turned a corner cause he had a decent game against Edinburgh city in the cup in January ? Link to comment

They aren’t some massive EPL club paying players like that £10k + a week. Maybe if he was signed as a cert for future first team Doubt he will be earning any more than some of our top earners. The problem is, even if he IS earning similar to our top earners, is he good enough to warrant that kind of money? time will tell ultimately. His base wage could well be similar to our top earners, but I bet his add-ons and bonuses are quite a bit higher than anything we offer, add on sponsership deals etc for playing with a bigger club.

Correct. Actually on less than Gallagher was with us last year.. Total non issue his wages. 1 Link to comment

Signed on a 4 3 year deal I think. Presumably the only reason he's still here, it would cost a fortune to punt. Link to comment

Funny thing is we all used to shout ee-aw at him when he was up here playing for rangers. Went to lower league Germany couldn’t get a game then went on loan to a championship team and couldn’t get a game. There was absolutely nothing to suggest he wouldn’t be shite 1 Link to comment

Did we ?… can’t say I remember that. Never thought of him as one of the pantomime villains that we regarded as a hate figure or as a joke figure. That was pretty much reserved for Jack and Morelos and maybe Halliday when Bates was with them.Think he’d gone by the time Macgregor cane back. Link to comment

He got a lot of stick around section X and Y of the south stand anyway. Certainly not a hate figure, folk just laughing at how shite he was. Link to comment
Ten Caat Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I remember not long after Scott Allan signed for Celtic reading that he was their lowest paid first team squad member at that time on £4k/week. They paid more for Scales than they did for Allan and it's 7 years down the line from then so I'd be surprised if he isn't earning at least as much as Allan did, probably a wee bit more. So if we were to sign him, he'd certainly wouldn't do so to take a pay cut and therefore he would certainly be near to, if not actually, our highest earner. As SF1982 said.....is he really worth that sort of cash? Maybe....but I'd like to see him facing the other SPL sides for the first half of the season before committing ourselves to it. We got stung by Bates and it looks like we are stuck with him, I'd hate the same thing to happen with another centre back. Link to comment

The difference between Scales and Bates is that Scales fulfils the definition of a defender whilst Bates is the polar opposite. Get Scales signed up permanently and there will be no stings?.

slippers Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 May be jumping the gun here but we need to be asking what they want for this lad. Im not sure we can afford to wait till January as may be out of reach by then. I know its against low level opponent but really like what ive saw so far. 1 Link to comment
Hoppy Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Diddy opposition, but agreed — Scales has been the stand out from the new signings so far. Such a shame it’s a loan only, the lad looks like quality. Link to comment
