Reekie_Red Posted June 18, 2023 Report Posted June 18, 2023 The Sokler deal must be ahead of Duk heading out, presumably to Torino. The Doohan link must be ahead of Lewis heading out ... presumably to Killie If both are true, I've never heard of us signing replacements BEFORE the OG's leave Quote

Surely when the time comes to sell we will max out his value and not simply sell to the first interested party. Quote
Slim Posted June 18, 2023 Report Posted June 18, 2023 Sokler could just be Marley Watkins’ replacement. Bavidge just turned 17, unlikely we’ll be relying on him as our plan B. I’d even be tempted to send him out on loan for the season. Quote

I’d say the next stage of bavidge development is a loan and regular playing time. I just see him getting 5-10 mins here and there with us, maybe an occasional start if we have injuries. I think he does go out on loan to play. I hope sokler is Marley’s replacement but I still say, sadly, we don’t have duk/miovski next season. I’m also curious about the Uefa rules and home grown talent. Seems we need three or four Scottish boys brought in, right? What’s the exact ruling there?? Quote
Jute Posted June 18, 2023 Report Posted June 18, 2023 We have to have 8 home grown players in our 25. 4 must have come through our own academy system and 4 can have come through another Scottish teams academy system or Scottish born. I think we may need to keep Bavidge until Christmas. Quote
tlg1903 Posted June 19, 2023 Report Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) Roberts signs for scunthorpe on a two year deal for an undisclosed fee. https://www.scunthorpe-united.co.uk/news/2023/june/callum-roberts-signs-from-aberdeen/?fbclid=IwAR1INGj-qMp_OkwyTr4U3mfiSjewP1Jlmd5KAQt4VE1EFHqxICj-ySo9ksk It's great we got something resembling cash for him i suppose though i never felt we saw him play enough to define if he was any good or not. We can only assume Robson didn't fancy him or he just wanted away himself. I wonder how many of Goodwins signings will still be here come the opening game of the season Edited June 19, 2023 by tlg1903 Quote
Jute Posted June 19, 2023 Report Posted June 19, 2023 Ah beaten to it by Tlg. Conference North probably his level. Quote
manc_don Posted June 19, 2023 Report Posted June 19, 2023 No real loss as we never knew what we were getting. Hope it works out for him, but is well and truly Mr sick note. Quote
RicoS321 Posted June 19, 2023 Report Posted June 19, 2023 He was pish. Didn't even manage a total of 90 minutes for us. Was on the bench for 4 games and didn't get on, before being dropped completely for the remaining games, with no suggestion of any injury. Shite signing, but that's to be expected with a high turnover. Expect a few more Roberts's this summer. 1 Quote
BigAl Posted June 19, 2023 Author Report Posted June 19, 2023 Not going to be a popular view and no real grounds to justify it, but can't help but feel this might be one that got away Quote

But then again, perhaps he proved it in training. Plus, with the players we have to move on, any money should be taken, one less salary to pay. Quote
Jute Posted June 19, 2023 Report Posted June 19, 2023 Think the fact he has had to drop as far down as National league North to get a team suggests he is not one we have missed out on. 1 Quote
DantheDon Posted June 19, 2023 Report Posted June 19, 2023 It would've been nice to have proof he was pish. He sounded quite an exciting player when we signed him, but a year of not playing won't have done him any favors either. Quote

I'm puzzled by how the fuck did we scout him and end up signing him if he's that bad. At least with the other dross we recruited last summer that have turned out to be dross i.e Stewart, Richardson & Morrice we've at least had confirmation of their shittyness (if there is such a word) on the pitch. Oh and added to that, they're all still here. 1 Quote
OrlandoDon Posted June 20, 2023 Report Posted June 20, 2023 Read into duk modeling the new 3rd strip as a sign he’ll be here next season?? Would be a strange choice if he was on his way out. Quote

Interestingly and rightly or wrongly it further states we have another target lined up and hope to have the deal over the line in next couple of days Quote
