lady-isobel-barnett Posted July 30 Report Share Posted July 30 Grand News! Hopefully he'll be match fit soon. One for the stattos. When had we last three "Bens" in a starting XI ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Jag Posted July 30 Report Share Posted July 30 Can only add to the delighted that Ben has decided to sign on again. If he continues to develop his game like he did last season, he will be some player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenziejag Posted July 30 Report Share Posted July 30 If Stanway has as good a season as last season, I am sure there will be no issue with clubs offering him a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No different (just another year of training added). The fee is based on the FIFA system which ranks clubs into 4 tiers. Our tier is unlikely to change.

Yellow & Redneck Posted July 30 Report Share Posted July 30 I'm confident Ian Baraclough has had a huge amount of input into this. His contribution can't be overstated. There was a lot of skepticism about the role beforehand, but I'd go as far as saying he's now more indispensable than Wilson and Rae. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partickthedog Posted July 30 Report Share Posted July 30 It is vital that Ben gets up to speed training and fitness wise as quickly as practicable. I propose that @Jordanhill Jag puts down his keyboard for the next couple of days and joins Ben in the necessary number of runs up Cleveden Hill. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Jag Posted July 30 Report Share Posted July 30 At the end of last season most of us thought that we had seen the last of Chalmers, Fitzpatrick and Stanway in a Thistle team.

There is an offer there from our club for Ben, its never been withdrawn and has been for some time, if Ben has chosen not to take that offer up then thats entirely his choice and in no way can the club be blamed. If he still thinks he can get a gig at a higher club then that is his right and his choice, but our club has done nothing wrong I hadn't said or implied that the club had done anything wrong, or that they could be blamed for anything! My point was that I hope they were being proactive and keeping in touch with Ben. From reading the interview with the manager about Ben re-signing, he says that they had phoned him, which is exactly what I'd hoped they been doing. Keep dialogue open rather than take the stance that, there's an offer on the table, it's your choice if you take it or leave it. Great to see him back and I hope he has a fantastic season in red and yellow for Thistle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appears Rae was in constant contact with Ben with MW & Mr B finalizing the re-signing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exiledjag Posted August 1 Report Share Posted August 1 Stanway is back Is this a good or a bad move? The overwhelming view on this thread is that it's a very good and positive move. However is he back with the Jags because he wants to be with us or because he couldn't get another club. On reflection I think another season with the Jags will be good for him and if all goes well, good for the Club. Best of luck Ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite clearly it is Because he couldn’t get another club. I don’t think there is any doubt about that. Doesn’t mean that he is not going to give his all for the Jags. It is in his interest to show what he can do if he is ambitious about playing at a higher level. Edited August 1 by Dick Dastardly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be absolutely delighted to keep Ben Stanway and also Aiden Fitzpatrick who almost was at Carlisle until Mark Hughes got sacked Let’s enjoy them in a PTFC Jersey and hopefully they’ll fulfil their ambition to play at a higher level with us in the Premier League Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
