franco2209 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) Curiously, today I spoke to a Killie season ticket holder and shareholder of many years,he says that he was fairly nonplussed about losing Findlay and he was way over hyped. Also said we've probably got as good (in comparative terms of ability) within our squad. I guess time will tell.

Splitting hairs, folk will feel based on the information how it's going, still doesn't mean we never tried to sign or talked to the player. Too many posters take a failed effort as we were never interested at all, and the itk person was at it. A deal is never done until the club announces it, but no doubt we are in constant talks with agents and at various stages with players. Some will come of, some won't. No need for folk to get emotional and rip folk on here about it when a potential signing effort fails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for folk to get emotional and rip folk on here about it when a potential signing effort fails. Deal can be done and not DONE! Agreed is probably a better term I suppose. Contract thrashed out, written up, on the way to sign it, agent gets a call from Philly/Milan/China/Billy Smarts Circus which blows it oot the water. Thems the breaks. At my work, I've got a couple of deals agreed, told the boss they're "done", but my hole's knitting socks until the client makes good and signs the paperwork!!

The Hogfather Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Slightly disappointed we couldn't get that one over the line, but I can understand why he would like the idea of a new country and a new challenge somewhere like America. If it doesn't work out, he can always get chance with someone over here again. Those kinds of chances to try a whole new culture don't come around too often.

Agree 100%. A bit of inside knowledge and ITK posts are what we want to see on here. It’s what makes the board interesting during the transfer windows. Some of these tips come off, some don’t. The amount of vitriol these folk get when their information does not come to fruition is just plain daft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, hopefully if we are interested the lure of almost guaranteed first team football will win the day.

I've always sort of compared him to Reagan Poole who he came through the Man Utd academy with - they both played the same position and were direct competition for one another. Poole is currently at Lincoln City with an estimated market value of £225k, Dunne's estimated value is just under £200k. By comparison, Souttar's is sitting around £600k. I wonder what wages he's on though... Must be on £7-10k p/w?? Maybe we could tempt him with £4k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
