I like Sneddon, but it looks like McCall is giving him a year to develop further/prove himself.

Jaggernaut Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 McCall mentioned that Bell would be in (for training?) a couple of times a week. So it's a part-time contract? Do we have any other part-timers in the squad? In the 70's we had some right good squads that were made up of both full- and part-time players, and I think used that model even not so long ago.

jaggymct Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 I belive we do have a loan goalie arranged but not to be announced for a bit, not from the old firm though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Dastardly Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 It depends on the terms an what the manage promises in terms of playing time and whether you believe him. Also I think he can leave for free next summer without a training fee. Certainly there was some negotiation as Sneddon was a week after the others who accepted new contracts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThickAsThieves Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 In an ideal world, I think we're 5 short: replacements/competition for Sneddon and Bell, another right-back, attacking midfielder/winger and striker. If McCall is adamant we're only signing 4 then we could maybe do without another striker. It looks a decent enough starting eleven just now - just needs a bit more quality in the squad. Sneddon Foster - Brownlie - Bell - Holt Docherty - Turner - Bannigan Rudden ---------- Tiffoney Graham McCready, McKenna, O'Ware, Niang, Gordon, Murray, MacIver.

Sneddon Foster - Brownlie - Bell - Holt Docherty - Turner - Bannigan Rudden ---------- Tiffoney Graham McCready, McKenna, O'Ware, Niang, Gordon, Murray, MacIver. Agree about needing competition and more quality in the squad. Looking at the above Mc Kenna and a fit O'Ware could arguably provide cover for the back 4. Niang, Gordon and Murray cover Midfield and McIver the 'spare' Striker! However the bench does look 'thin' on quality and perhaps has too many question marks against individuals. For example, Gordon, neither a midfielder or a striker IMO! So what's his best position? O'Ware fitness? McKenna, Murray & McIver largely unproven! So agree - squad requires bit more depth and quality but do we have the resources to make this happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exiledjag Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 Were we ever really in the frame for Mulgrew? I imagine he must have been on a very good contract at Blackburn I take it as a positive if we were a serious contender to sign him as it means we must have more financial clout than I previously thought we had! Does anyone have any 'in the know' info about imminent signings, players we are after etc? Its all gone quiet and the clock is ticking!

I am guessing but I would presume offers have been made to individual players and also to clubs for loans. Therefore it’s really for the players to decide and the clubs to decide on whether to give us loans. But these players may have a multitude of offers and are taking their time to make a decision I don’t think there’s much McCall or Partick Thistle can do meantime really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 If he'd been Glasgow based I may have convinced myself re the "one good season left" opinion. Thinking along the lines there wasn't much financial outlay. Perhaps a pay as you play deal or the likes. The fact he's not based anywhere near local suggests Dobbie wouldn't be traveling to Firhill unless the wage was worth it. We've often benefitted from signings of players returning to Glasgow/West of Scotland for a drop in wage (Graham & Foster ,perhaps?). Signing Dobbie would've certainly mot been one of those types of deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This link works if you are wanting to buy or renew over the weekend: https://ptfc.co.uk/season-tickets/ Only 3 weeks until the first competitive game!
