Pie Of The Month Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Kenny Deuchar but he seems to be making noises that he wants to stay at St Johnstone next season. Has John Baird signed for Raith Rovers? I've seen this mentioned but nothing official, I wouldn't mind him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Yell Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Not a rumour as such, but any word on what Ryan Conroy's doing next season? I'd like to see him stay at Thistle but the inevitable clearout next year at Sellick might convince him to go back and try to push for his place there.

Woodstock Jag Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Read something about Paddy Boyle moving to Real Sociedad. This could be pish, but I heard it from a good source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partick monkey Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Kenny Deuchar but he seems to be making noises that he wants to stay at St Johnstone next season. Was there not talk of him wanting to go part time next season? If that's the case then I can't see him staying at Don Johnstone. Would suit us perfectly though.

SirJohnLambie Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Seen on Pie and Bovril that a Dundee fan fully expects either McMenamin or Clarke to go to Thistle - contract cancelled from Dundee to get them off the books! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would suit us perfectly though. He already gets given time off with St Johnstone to do his other work, and apparently they're really accommodating with him.

Robert Dunn's Potential Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Greece apparently want Tom Hughes to run their economy for them and Man Utd have offered a straight swap of Malcolm Glazer for Allan Cowan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 John Lambie Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Has John Baird signed for Raith Rovers? I've seen this mentioned but nothing official, I wouldn't mind him. McCall confirmed at the MTMN that Baird has signed a pre-contract with Raith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart_adam Posted April 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I certainly see us raiding division two and three for players, most players in division one are out of our budget, and to be honest, not many of them are anything spectacular...

stuart_adam Posted April 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Under Contract: Alan Archibald, Paddy Boyle, Liam Buchanan, Paul Cairney, Marc Corcoran, Chris Erskine, Martin Grehan, Kris Doolan, Bryan Hodge, Willie Kinniburgh, Paul Paton, John Robertson, David Rowson My count there is 13, yet in the ET Cowan says we have 12 players under contract next season... Am I right with these? If so.. does that indicate his figures are wrong, or someones leaving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I right with these? If so.. does that indicate his figures are wrong, or someones leaving? Cowan & McCall both said we have 13 the other night, maybe it's just a typo in the ET, or he knows something we don't. Some of the 13 will be leaving, or at be told they can leave if they can find a club, my guess who: Boyle, Kinniburgh, Doolan, maybe Grehan & Corcoran. + Paton being sold if someone offers us a decent price.

Armand2 Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 McMenamin would be a great signing but I doubt we could afford him. The Deuchar rumour appears to be absolute nonsense and, according to a Saintee mate, he has been offered a new contract at St Johnstone. Wouldn't mind having a look at Alan Lithgow. Just not at his baws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda-jag Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 McMenamin and Deuchar could be two great signings to fire up our shot-shy attack, but as said by others we probably couldn't afford them/rumours are absolute nonsense/they wouldn't come to us. We'll probably see very few additions to the squad over the close season reading between various lines, and will have to be content with what we have already, supplemented mainly by under 19's and the like. What we need we most likely will not get, and unless McCall can raise funds from selling on some current contracted players, I don't expect us to make any signings that will inspire confidence or raised expectations amongst the support for next season. We are where we are thanks to years of mis-management off the park, and football in Scotland is on it's ass, so looks like we will have to try muddle through for a few seasons and hope league reconstruction does transpire, and by hook or crook Thistle somehow find themselves back in the top league and able to stay in it while not breaking the bank and hopefully trading at a level that see's the club being able to post a small profit year on year. We can but dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow & Redneck Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Pat Clarke is likely to be released from Dundee due to only a limited number of games this season, might be worth a shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id take a chance on him. Given our current goal scoring situation, he cant be any worse than what we got.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Grehan has any chance of being shoved out the door, McCall has stated ever since he signed him that he is one for next season.

Lionel J. Botch Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Pat Clarke is likely to be released from Dundee due to only a limited number of games this season, might be worth a shot? I heard from a very good source that Dundee are looking to clear out a good few players asap. Not sure how much our budget will stretch though.
