Dr. Bapswent Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Not only is our first 11 better than last season it is now IMO a top 6 SPL team. Without a minute of competitive football being played this sort of thing is just ludicrous to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jammy T Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Yep something tells me this guy is out of our league somewhat, and that when somebody down south sees he is thinking about us will happily put ?5k or so per week on the table for him on a 1 year prove yourself deal...

Bauld Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 If we don't sign him then its no panic. So many decent players in the world right now just looking for a chance to get back on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holyrood_Hearts Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 They will still be paying around ?10K a week. Blackpool only have 8 first players (inc no goalkeepers) when they returned to pre-season training last week. Don't think they'll be paying anywhere near that weekly wage.

JamboPete Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Unlikely that he would end up at Blackpool. Over on their forum, the fans are unsure if their manager is still there. Things seem a bit messy down there. He was only appointed at the beginning of June but has apparently had a disagreement with the chairman Karl Oyston. Oyston is a bit of an idiot by the looks of it.

I don't get why you would think he is out of our league. If that was the case why would he come here on trail. Surely before a player agrees to go on trail somewhere there is a chat first to see if it would be possible to conclude a deal if both parties are happy after the trail. Would seem pointless to go on trail then find out that the two parties are miles apart on money and a deal can't be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we were the only team he had a chance of some game time with over the weekend. Who knows what scouts or whatever were at that game? Yes maybe he would sign for us but also being with us creates some leverage for him in getting a quick deal signs up elsewhere. Lower EPL / high Championship standard striker just seems to be a very unlikely signing for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be correct but I'm not sure playing for a Scottish championship team against an even lower part time scottish team will give you a lot of exposure.

Guest oldcastlerock2012 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Plenty random foreign players with a decent pedegree have pitched up in the scottish lower leagues and went on to greater things - bamba, latepy, agathe... No reason why we can't get someone like that in if they want to use us as a stepping stone. Thats basically our signing policy now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
