Tyrant Posted April 29, 2010 Report Posted April 29, 2010 For me it means we're going to punt the ball and hope for the best. Nothing new there then! Quote
BigRed Posted April 29, 2010 Report Posted April 29, 2010 Starting to have a bit of a groundhog day look about things, with publicised targets rejecting Aberdeen outright or being linked with clubs liked Hearts, Hibs or the Arabs. That's Foran gone, and the other 2 ICT lads either unaffordable or prefering to stay at ICT than sign for us. Other targets such as O'Brien, Mehmet and Dorman are all now linked with Hearts, so we've absolutely no chance there if Hearts seriously want them. I fear there's a long, hard summer ahead followed by some desperate and underwhelming signings at the end of July... Quote
maverick sheep Posted April 29, 2010 Report Posted April 29, 2010 There's nothing different about this end of season to last season in terms of transfer trepidation. The only difference is that there isn't likely to be the same sickening, short sighted rejoicing that our manager got knifed in the back. Even if Mcghee got sacked I doubt there'd be the same shameful celebratory mood among some. Quote
McMaster Posted April 30, 2010 Report Posted April 30, 2010 The same depths that have kept Mackie here for 10 years when everyone knows he could not hit a barn door even from the inside. 6 players my arse its the same every year 6 becomes 5 someone paid more 5 becomes 4 someone paid more 4 becomes 3 someone paid more 3 becomes 2 signed for Berwick rangers as he thought they had more ambition wait a minute we have 2 players coming back from injury that will do. This just musnt happen. I know it has in the past (only too often) but with the squad being so small, he MUST get at least 6 players in. He says he knows the fortunes of the players but i think that might just be a bluff until he can guarantee at least mibbe 3 of his signings. Maybe not, but it wouldnt surprise me! Doesnt say much for him, Miller and the club itself, if we cant bring players in. I know money is a problem and we are looking for out of contract players and loan signings. . . . But, the rest of the SPL seem to be able manage it. Personally, i think experience is the key. a centreback, centre midfielder and striker, a necessity!! That would gel the team. Quote
maverick sheep Posted April 30, 2010 Report Posted April 30, 2010 Adam Virgo isn't having his contract renewed at Brighton... Please no. Quote
baggy89 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Posted April 30, 2010 Adam Virgo isn't having his contract renewed at Brighton... Please no. I heard there's a player just been released by Darlo that is definitely worth a look... Quote
Harcus Posted May 10, 2010 Report Posted May 10, 2010 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/st_mirren/8673647.stm Mehmet joining some team in Turkey. Another one bites the dust. Quote
mizer Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 All we need now is somebody to take Kyle.... Quote
Jute Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/st_mirren/8673647.stm Mehmet joining some team in Turkey. Another one bites the dust. Allegedly getting £10K a week to go there. Got to wonder if they have actually seen him play. Must have a brilliant agent. Quote
BigAl Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 Apparently so. St Midden will be looking for a new manager come the summer as well Al calls it right on 22nd April Quote
mizer Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 Another rumour target of ours - Michael Stewart, is off to the same Turkish team as Mehmet. Quote
BigAl Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 Mehmet is at best an average, run of the mill player. For him to have secured a basic wage of in excess of £1m for the next two years is beyond belief Quote
McMaster Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 So some pishy Turkish side are offering 10k a week. Another kick in the bags for the SPL. To hear McGhee saying about us trawling Europe for players in places like Slovenia probably means second division in Slovenia!! Financially we really are getting more and more into the depths. Would be interesting to hear where we come financially in the money leagues in Europe, not very high i am guessing! Quote
maverick sheep Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 Souter went to a Cypriot 2nd division team because they were offering him way more than any scottish teams. Admittedly that might be because Scottish teams all know he is shit. Quote

Surely these clubs cannot be operating within their means? How long until Scottish clubs operating within their means see the benefits? I.E. Not going bust when other clubs are? Quote
McMaster Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 True, you would think they couldnt finance these moves. Stuart Milne did say we would keep to the budget so as this doesnt happen to us. Still waiting for the arse to fall out of football so we can reap the rewards Apparently on one web sire we are the '10TH' richest league in Europe!! Mind you take away the OF . . . . Quote
Superstar Tradesman Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 Where's all the cash coming from in these other 'diddy' countries? I doubt Cypriot football fans are paying £20+ for match tickets or their club attracting huge sponsorship deals. Surely they're not all being bankrolled by local Morning Noon & Night moguls? Quote
dave_min Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 Apparently on one web sire we are the '10TH' richest league in Europe!! Mind you take away the OF . . . . That the same old firm where half of it is in massive debt and on the brink of administration? Quote
McMaster Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 That the same old firm where half of it is in massive debt and on the brink of administration? Yip, I am thinking this site might be a few years old and certainly isnt taking this into consideration!! Quote
El Padre™ Posted May 12, 2010 Report Posted May 12, 2010 A player I'd like to see at Pittodrie is Tam Scobbie from Failkirk. Did you see what I did there? I called them Fail-kirk. That's pretty funny. Quote

El Padre™ Posted May 12, 2010 Report Posted May 12, 2010 I'd take Moutinho from them, he's just been released. Agreed, if McGhee could get him to show his talent consistantly/regularly then he would be a handy signing. I'd imagine he's on Hughes radar though. Quote
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted May 12, 2010 Report Posted May 12, 2010 Agreed, if McGhee could get him to show his talent consistantly/regularly Could have been a decent signing but you do seem to grasp the problem yourself. Quote
