ian_mac Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Think this could be a really tough pre-season for us in terms of signings. We're not only competing for players with the all the teams in our own league, we now have three teams in the league below who are undoubtedly bigger clubs and could quite conceivably offer bigger wages than us. Think we need to be patient and accept that a lot of our main targets will simply be out of reach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How good is it to see us actually being able to compete for signings who may improve our squad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eljaggo Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 I agree, but I also see it a wee bit from another perspective. How good is it to see us actually being able to compete for signings who may improve our squad? I take your point, but unfortunately competing is the easy part, it's signing them thats the hard part.

mhs Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 James Keatings has rejected a contract from Hamilton and is looking for a new club, scored 15 goals last season. Don't think he is what we are after or good enough but could be on our radar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third Lanark Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 there was something posted on twitter yesterday about us opening up talks with Hemmings now that he has returned from America. It was reported that Kane had rejected an offer from Dundee. I would think we would be talking to him but not to sure if the fact we didnt sign him last season will have an impact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proudjag Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) Put simply Hemmings will either turn out shithot or s*** for us. Edited June 5, 2014 by proudjag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Third Lanark Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Erskine free to go from DU. The fact that Dundee United have already mentioend whom they have released and Chris Erskine has stated on twitter he knows nothing about it means I cant help but think the suppsoed football agent on twitter who claimed this was simply bored and didnt have anythign better to do with his time.

Third Lanark Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Put simply Hemmings will either turn out shithot or s*** for us. Has there been any claiemd link with us though? Apart from apparently refusing Dundee I have not seen him specifically linked with any club including ourselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulo Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Erskine is still under contract, so he hasn't been released. Perhaps he is surplus to requirements, but I'm sure he would be the first to know....maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_mac Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Spoke to a mate of mine who is quite close to the DUFC who said that Erskine hasn't been let go as of yet but reckons there's a good chance he will be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gress Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Spoke to a mate of mine who is quite close to the DUFC who said that Erskine hasn't been let go as of yet but reckons there's a good chance he will be. He's already been told to return back for training at end of month so I think not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partickthedog Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Surely that would be a standard requirement for a player under contract whatever his likely future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buchanio Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Would need to be by mutual agreement or DUFC would have to pay two years wages to effectively end the contract. Can't see Thompson doing that so would need to negotiate a release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindau Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) there was something posted on twitter yesterday about us opening up talks with Hemmings now that he has returned from America. If indeed we are after Hemmings it must mean there is little chance of Taylor returning which is a severe blow. If that is indeed the case Hemmings is well worth the risk Edited June 5, 2014 by Lindau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cup Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Hemmings is linked with Dundee, Hearts, Hibs, Blackburn and us. I don't see him coming to us for cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cup Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Sheffield United have dropped their interest in St Mirren's McGinn. There was talk of Taylor going there as part of the deal so that could be good news for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Gums Murphy Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Hemmings is linked with Dundee, Hearts, Hibs, Blackburn and us. I don't see him coming to us for cheap. We could be at the back of the line having knocked him back once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicofan Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Saw in the paper Ryan McStay is looking for a club...he would put extra 500 on the gate..the silky big bassa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
