Weebaw1 Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Liam is improving with every game. It would be in Thistle's and his own interest to stay till the end of the season unless we receive a massive bid. His value will increase on further progress especially if we go on a decent cup run. I am concerned at the lack of any suitable replacement as we will again be susceptible to set pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_mac Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 If Liam does go in January we should go and get Gunning from Morton. He's been oustanding for them this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindau Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 I am concerned at the lack of any suitable replacement as we will again be susceptible to set pieces. Whether he moves or not, we need another central defender in as we are short in that position. Barton has proved he can do a job there though I think Archie would prefer to see him in midfield and Danny Devine has arguably been our most consistent performer in December. Other than that we really have no one else if Liam does go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 If Liam does go in January we should go and get Gunning from Morton. He's been outstanding for them this season. Go gunning for Gunning? Honestly didn't know he was showing good form. Don't really have an opinion about him but would predict that after last season his signing would be extremely contentious.

north stander Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 If Liam does go in January we should go and get Gunning from Morton. He's been oustanding for them this season. That suggestion may not be too far fetched - I've been thinking the same for the past month or so. I keep an eye on Morton, as they're my Dads team, and you're right GG has been outstanding for them - he only signed a 6 month deal with them, which I believe expires in the next few days. I'd also put forward Thomas O'Ware also of Morton - versatile defender, started as a LB but more a CB these days I'm led to believe, with 9 goals to his credit so far this season. Is it my imagination playing tricks, or was it not rumoured in the summer past that Archie was interested in signing O'Ware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 I think LIB is referring to this: https://www.eveningt...ball-stop-play/ Aye that was it but more it was seen to sum up his general attitude. That said the arab support does appear to have a massive chip on its collective shoulder and Gunning was arguably their number one scapegoat on the field.

ian_mac Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Ah yes how could I forget Gunning's antics last season. He seems to have proved himself this year though so I would still be happy to give him a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenziejag Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Any fee we look for for him should be based on the worst case scenario. How much will it cost us if we get relegated and how long it could take us to get back up. The last couple o times we have gone down from the SPL it has taken us many years to get back up. Last season Dundee Utd got £1,000,000 for finishing last - so i think we should be looking for a minimum of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 It was Lee Kilday we were interested in. I remember well the rumour but can't somehow take it that seriously. Even as a utility right back/centreback Kilday would've been seen as a poor man's Gary Miller/Jordan McMillan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen1876 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Everton are about to pay £11m for a guy whose strike partner is Josh Magennis! Surely £500k plus a sell on and loan back isn't too much to ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen1876 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Magennis scored a hat-trick in his last game In the English market that will put him at around £25m 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partickthedog Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 I can't think of another current central defender who scores goals from set plays with such monotonous regularity. McAuley's goal against Hull was his fourth in the Premier League this season and the way he attacks the ball in the opposition's box is a delight to watch. This comes from Garth Crooks' Team of the Week on the BBC Football website. Maybe he should think of Liam Lindsay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinny Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 I think Garth Crooks would laugh at the suggestion, we're doing well at the moment but we're still a diddy team in a diddy league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 I see that Louis Moult is being linked with Palace for £500k. I suspect that Lindsay will be valued at significantly less, although I don't know how long Moult's contract has to run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graemei Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 When he signed for Motherwell it was a 3year deal and that was some time in 2015, reckon over a year still to run on his contract. Suprised Palace are looking at him tbh, he's not that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
