tlg1903 Posted July 15, 2012 Report Posted July 15, 2012 I'd have maybury back as a last resort, he's 33 now and i like my f/b's to have a bit of pace to them. Quote

Tyrant Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 Hopefully we can offer the Dazzler a new deal with that money. Quote
glasgowdon Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 Take the cash and get some defenders in. Agree 100%. Quote
BigAl Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 Hopefully we can offer the Dazzler a new deal with that money. In extremely bad taste mate Quote

BigAl Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 SSN reporting done deal £500k coming our way. Given we were always going ot get £400k in compensation would have hoped for a little bit more, but guess we will put a positive spin in that it is £500k now plus saving his wages for next five and a bit months Quote
tlg1903 Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 SSN reporting done deal £500k coming our way. Given we were always going ot get £400k in compensation would have hoped for a little bit more, but guess we will put a positive spin in that it is £500k now plus saving his wages for next five and a bit months Was worth taking slightly less to get the deal done, Fyvie would have been no use to us if he had stayed imo as he would have his eye firmly on the door and would worry about getting injured. Hopefully see a couple of full backs with this Quote
BigAl Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 Hopefully see a couple of full backs with this Unfortunately I think this might be wishful thinking. Would hazard a guess that the budget might already have been set taking a fee of around this level into account and that this cash will go to the bank. Sincerely hope I'm wrong. Quote
manc_don Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Posted July 16, 2012 Possibly go towards Reynolds coming back? I read the other day Brown was still looking to get him for a second loan deal. Quote
Madbadteacher Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 But surely we're still facing "Armageddon" aren't we Despite that (ahem) good to see we're getting something for him more than the £400K predicted, lets just hope it's a done deal, no appearance clauses et al, and we get the money in a oner, no installments. Anyone think we had enogh foresight to get a sell on clause? Agree with tlg he was less than stellar once he/his agent decided it was time to move on. Are there no any full-back positional "rats leaving the sinking ship" in govan we can steal for nowt and pay with this? Quote
bloo_toon_red Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 Just seen Alan Maybury is a free agent. Worth a look? He was poor when he played for us before. That said, our whole team has gone backwards since then. One year contract, on a low wage, maybe. Quote
Stewart Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 Confirmed. http://www.wiganlatics.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10429~2851028,00.html Quote
maverick sheep Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 Both Reynolds and Maybury have had a chance with us and not been good enough. Sends out a bad message to bring either back. Maybury in particular because from what I've seen of him since he looks finished. Sad to see Fyvie go, but only because of what he could've been. Should've been worth a couple mil by now, but 500k is as good as we could realistically hope for. Wouldn't be surprised if Martinez turns him into a player though. Quote

(Or Oldham hahahaha) Decent manager who seems to know how to handle young players (McArthur McCarthy) and I'd expect him to get a decent number of games. Scotland's captain for Euro 2016! Quote

This^^ Think it is a superb move for the lad to a club where a lot of young Scottish lads have done well. Good luck 34 FF Quote
glasgowdon Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 £500k plus add-ons if he gets some international appearances (doesn't specify). Pretty good deal for all parties really. Quote

I don't quite see how Reynolds wasn't good enough. Quote
maverick sheep Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 I don't quite see how Reynolds wasn't good enough. I didn't see as much of him as others probably but of what I did see there was nothing convincing about him. Cost us a couple goals, including being fairly hopeless for the first in the semi, and got the impression he didn't really give much of a toss in general. It's not so much that I think he's particularly bad though (unlike Maybury who really is shite), it's that the wages we'd probably have to pay on him would be more than a player of same ability. Eg, McArdle was certainly no worse (at centre half), and was on peanuts. Quote
bloo_toon_red Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 Reynolds at Motherwell and Scot u-21 was very good, but I agree with Mav, he didn't convince me in his time here. He was woeful in the semi. If he comes back he needs to up his game drastically. Quote
Penfold Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 Gary Naysmith on trial apparently Edit - sorry, a "visitor" Anyone able to listen to the brown interview? Is he just keeping up his fitness or looking to sign with us? Quote

BigAl Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 Gary Naysmith is allegedly just training with us. However at 33 provided he still has a good level of fitness, I actually reckon he could still do a job for us in this season's SPL Quote
