This. The constant wishing for Gordon in particular to come back really puzzles me. He'll be nearly 40 by the time we get to the end of next season and was made of glass in his 20s. Can only imagine what he's like now. We'd get a couple of games out of him then he'd be out with a broken arm or a broken ankle then we'd be stuck paying his wages until he ultimately retires. Wouldn't touch him with a barge pole. Foderingham would be a great signing and would walk into our No.1 spot, but his wages at Rangers must be astronomical compared to what we're going to be able to pay anyone next season. Hladky for me too. He's an excellent keeper and his wages won't be ridiculous. Likely to be a lot of competition for him though, considering he's had a couple of very solid seasons with St Mirren. Rangers were supposed to be after him but haven't heard any more about that for a couple of weeks. Mark Gillespie is also available on a free transfer when he leaves Motherwell at the end of his contract, but there was a bit of interest in him from down south so again would be hard to compete. Jordan Archer at Fulham is out of contract. Again wages could be too high. Ben Alnwick is my shout. 33, recently released by Bolton, has played for lots of clubs down south and played with Micheal Smith for a few seasons at Peterborough.

Lone Striker Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Jamie Mac has turned down the reduced wages on offer at Killie - so he's looking for a new club. EEN article quotes him as saying he'd come "home" is a heartbeat. And Hladky has left St. Midden. The sooner we get the league situation sorted (assume its the CHampionship), the sooner we can try to get a few key players on some kind of "delayed contract".

OTT Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Gillespie is only 28. I thought he was like 34 or something. Of all the free transfers we could get I'd probably have him in my top 3. Gordon and McDonald would be sound choices to replace Bobby and Doyle. Would let Stone bump up to 3rd too. I think its about cost ultimately as there are a lot of keepers who are known quantities at this level, Gordon, Hladky, MacDonald, Gillespie, Mclaughlin - all of which would do a solid job for us. Don't doubt there are even more. Gordon being 37 is perfect in the context of giving Harry Stone the platform to develop. He's played for Scotland and in the EPL as well as Champions League. Give Gordon a year or two with Harry ultimately being phased in throughout Gordons contract. Could sign the likes of MacDonald for continuity in case injurys happen and Stone isn't ready. Suspect Stendel will have his own ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Famous 1874 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Foderingham is much better than what we have got, but he will want far too much. Would take McDonald, Gordon, Hladky and Gillespie. Gillespie in talks with Newcastle apparently though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
