Seems odd that Louis Moult is going for surgery " sometime in the next two weeks, hopefully"

The op is apparently necessary, yet we could be two weeks away from even any start to his recovery . I presume it's a low cost BUPA plan we're using? Why announce he needs it and then delay ...

Could it be a compensation issue? ie: If we didn't offer him a deal could he have gone to Ayr as a free agent, but now we will get a compensation fee?

 

A bit like Saunders, promising start then a bad injury. Good luck to him.

He is only away on loan...so no fee

Reading McGhee's comments on the official site it seems to be as folk have been suggesting, in his words we need to be "clever" with the budget. Moore's unlikely to get that much game time so by extension you'd think that we're freeing up a wage.

 

He also mentions we have a call back option in January.

When we signed Anier permanently in the January, we had to lose McHugh and Cummins from the wage bill to facilitate that and I suspect this is us being clever there. Seems a bit bizarre giving him a deal all the same.

Craig Moore has rejoined Ayr United on loan

Disgrace!

The lad done the business last year, has bulked up and surely deserved a shot?

Considering Moult is injured, Blyth and Mackin are big lumps and McDonald is more the catalyst/provider than an out and out goalscorer, Moore could have been given a fairer chance.

 

Unless we have an alternative option in mind, I'm struggling to see a lot of goals in this team in the first month or so and with recent years defensive stats...oh boy.

We can nip to the El Bakhtoui chat in the bud right now as he is on trial with Blackburn

 

Also 99% sure we wont be getting another striker in. Moore moved on to free up some wages for a central midfielder. Dont be surprised to see 1 or 2 more move on also.

If he can get a move to Blackburn good luck to him. However it was mentioned on radio tonight that Dunfermline still hold a glimmer of hope that he'll return.

a) McGhee is a clueless idiot with no strategy.

 

b) McGhee is a shrewd operator who knows exactly what he is doing based on working with the players every day and access to the budget details.

 

 

Choose one, it seems.

On the face of it, it seems strange to sign Moore on a 1 year deal then put him out on loan, especially if Ayr aren't paying all his wages and our budget is so tight.

 

We don't know the details though.

As mentioned earlier, Moore was possibly offered a contract so there would be compensation if he left. However he accepted the contract so this a decent option for the club. Also if he scores goals in the Championship he could force his way back into the reckoning at Fir Park.
