Another bang average, unspectacular, boring, uncreative central midfielder. Exactly how Ian McCall likes them. May as well get Bryan Hodge signed up whilst we are at it. Hopefully he's more a squad player. Won't be long before McCall has his Ayr United rejects signed up. (As a side note, I know that at least three of those released players are signed up elsewhere). I don’t particularly like Crawford but I’d actually have him in the team before Bannigan at the moment, but McCall doesn’t even play him Centrally which really pisses me off ! And spill the beans, Hendrie to QP true then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If IMC is looking for a squad of 21-22 then at least 7 more to come in (hopefully Mayo would be one), and presumably Sena will find another club so between 7-9 to come in. Some people on here speculating that Tiff will leave so anything up to 10….. I thought Milne was a left wing back? Does Smith chave another year left on his contract? If no then he should be released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foster has at least two part-time offers on the table alongside his BBC contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exiledjag Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 I have no proìblems with Bell and Murray leaving. I assume Foster and Hendrie are being released because we want 'wing' backs rather than 'full'backs. I Otherwise I would have retain these two as well as McKenna as cover. Clearly these players being released have a squad composition and/or financial consideration. Involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 3 hours ago, Dick Dastardly said: I agree, but we have Brownley back, so do we need any other central defender when we also have Akinola and Holt ? Mayo also looks fine as a defensive mid and I know he can play right back, for cover at least. But you're right in pointing out that he may not be essential.

Garscube Road End 2 Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 McCall has proved he can sign good players. Tiffoney, Smith, Mayo, Holt, Turner, Graham etc. But he hasn't a clue on how to play them. Therein is the problem. The manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pars supporting mate reckons he's decent. Scoring around 1 goal every 2 ½ games in poor teams and pretty quick. Seem to remember him pulling our defence all over the place when he came on but that's probably no great achievement at the time!

Formerly Derby County and maybe Stevenage if I read correctly? Striker who bagged 22 goals in Premier League 2 at the start of COVID. Career path seems like he still hasn’t found his level yet maybe? Striker but not proven enough to be “the guy” - possibly worth a flier? Didn’t seem to get much time in the Premiership. Alternatively, Charlie Adam can still deliver a nice ball into the box. As long as WHICH box is not important to you… Huh, didn’t realize he was Tunji Akinola’s teammate - fellow out-of-contract guy at West Ham. Maybe he could actually do a job for us.

thebiglemon Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 Can we give Smith away? Or... I will chip in £10 to pay him not to play. Anyone else able to contribute? Get Welsh back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point being our management/coaching team is really no bigger than similar sized clubs, it's just that McCall chose to use different job titles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best player we've let go in many a year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
