RodMcDonaldJag Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 http://www.theharrywraggs.co.uk/c/?p=3&n=252 Looks like Paton is ready to commit to the jags for another 2 seasons judging by Maxwell's comments. Seems Paddy is defo for the off though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Good news about Paton if he eventually signs. Going by the quotes it seems Boyle will be away to St Johnstone or Dunfermline. Presuming Dunfermline go up at least he is signing for a club who will be in the SPL rather than signing an improved deal with someone like Dundee who will be in the division next year.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Buchanan, Boyle,...who will Dunfermline take from us next? Well not Paton. Or certainly not just now. He's signed a one season extension along with MacBeth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlgarveJag Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 News Official site confirmation says "for another season" when Maxwell had indicated that Paton had been offered a 2 year deal. Good news all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bunny Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) Official site confirmation says "for another season" when Maxwell had indicated that Paton had been offered a 2 year deal. Good news all the same. Re Paton, possibly this was a compromise - he wanted to sign up as he was injured but still hopes for a move when he's fit again. At least it gives us 2 of a back 4 signed for next season. I should imagine Archie won't be too difficult to deal with (maybe offered coaching role?). Also apparently we've a good chance of getting Balatoni and McGowan on loan again next season so we should be OK -so long as we can find a decent left back. I'd liked to have seen MacBeth getting a longer deal as I think he's got something the other young players haven't but I suppose they want to be sure he's 100% fit before offering a longer deal. Hope that doesn't back fire on us. Edited April 7, 2011 by Mr Bunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Both signings are good news! And both players may well want to stay if we look like getting promoted........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID,Hinchy Jackie..Maxwell is Ian Cameron still there too?? Ian Cameron is still there. coaches under 19's and is there for first team on match days. Can see Sid and Jackie leaving the club once their contracts expire. The other 3, I think will all be at firhill next season. Also, can't see Archie not being offered and accepting a new deal.

northernsoul Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Relieved MacBeth got a new contract. Here's hoping he avoids any more setbacks and pushes on into the first team next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's hoping he avoids any more setbacks and pushes on into the first team next season. If Ryan did just that it could be quite a battle for midfield places. To me it looks like Campbell will be in the frame for a start and I'd anticipate the experience Bannigan has had this season will mean he'll push on too. Also McCall was saying that McGeough's future could be as a wide right midfielder. Maybe we'll be playing an attacking version of 4-5-1 next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 John Lambie Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Good news, which must spell the end for Robbo (sadly). Would rather have had Boyle over Paton, given the choice, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah of the current 1st team squad out of contract, I can see Hodge, Rowson, Archie, McGeogh and Flanigan staying on. Think the rest will be freed.

Armand2 Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Paton Reaction in ET What I will say for Paton is he sure knows how to play the media. Does he really expect us to believe he only signed a one-year deal to "avoid becoming complacent and act as motivation"? Don't get me wrong, I'm delighted he has re-signed but, as admirable as his quotes are, I don't believe them for one minute. I suspect MacBeth's contract has the option of another year so long as he avoids more serious injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll leave next summer, if he has a good season, for nothing. Which he couldn't do on a 2yr deal. However, if having him helps us get promoted, I don't care if he's on a 1 year deal or a week-to-week deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
