He is getting good game time at QotS, hopefully someone is watching to help us make a decision on him Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coatsy 81 Report post Posted February 27 Its what i think not what is or has happened. There's very few i would keep, but we now give 3 year contracts out so hope most turn out well. We need to trust the manager and scouts however i think long contracts should only be given to keep the best players after they have been here say 6 months and been assessed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thoughts? I’d look to keep O’Hara, Roberts & Amaluzor. I know we’ve not seen a lot of Justin. But I just think he offers so much energy and pace to our side. Is SOD not out of contract this year? I was hoping to wish him goodbye! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From the original list I wouldn't be surprised if all ten players move on. Lamie is obviously away for sure and Shaw will return to Celtic. By all accounts we must think highly of PJ Morrison as he has been around for what seems like an age, I'm sure he'll want to kick on, with Fox recently signing a contract extension will he want to stay and be third choice again. When Grimshaw returned from illness he was used frequently in the team but he has drifted in and out of the squad recently. It was mentioned a few weeks back that O'Hara had a few offers on the table from other clubs, this will likely be the same come the end of the season. I wouldn't be surprised if Donnelly is offered a contract extension but his injury record is a concern. O'Conner seems to be doing alright at QOTS so he is another who might get offered another year or so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weeyin 4,153 Report post Posted February 28 Will certainly be interesting to see what GA does in the summer. He's set his stall out now with the style and tactics he wants to play and seen how his own signings have performed. There will obviously be better options in the summer than there were in January, so plenty of opportunity to improve with the right moves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joewarkfanclub 876 Report post Posted February 28 I would expect GA to be quite ruthless in the summer. He has shown he isnt afraid to drop/move players on who arent good enough or who dont buy into his philosophy. Will be interesting to see who out of the list above he thinks he can trust.

Well Well 346 Report post Posted March 4 Liam Grimshaw is marked as a free agent on the PFA website. Has he been released by the club? Can't see anything official Update: Chairman has said that the PFA website is wrong and has now been changed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

middleeastdave 85 Report post Posted March 21 Apart from his injuries I thought he was a decent enough player, but worries me it’s another player we are loosing to pre contract, would love to know if it’s another player that GA has fell out with!

mio 169 Report post Posted March 21 Ohara is one of the few genuine talented players we have. I sort of despair of supporters who don’t recognise this. Everyone has an opinion I suppose. They can’t always be correct like me 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grizzlyg 627 Report post Posted March 21 I liked o"hara and not surprised he is leaving, if you were a midfielder would you want to play under GA? Ball flies over you all the time. So we are losing Lamie and O'Hara but have resigned Mcginley!!...ahhhh the joys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Stall 445 Report post Posted March 21 Watt going to United can argue the case till the cows come home. Losing Lamie and Oharra to pisher teams than us does suggest not all the players are onboard with GA. Fair enough if these guys were fringe men but aside from Kelly & VanVeen, they are in our ever rotating starting 11 as much as anyone else 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
