steelboy Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Keep Fitzpatrick, as many have said before me, for the role he has i.e. useful squad player, we aint going to get much better for much cheaper. meechan, innes, halsman and carswell are all cheaper and deserve a chance to see if they can be better. it could also be gow's wage + fitzy's wage = 2 good players. i remember butcher giving shaun fagan a new contract in 06 and the same patter getting banded about why we should keep him. he barely kicked a ball for us and since he's left he's flopped at clyde, galway and east fife.

Ian-in-Oz Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 If Blackman goes we have to give Casagolda a chance to see what he can do before his one year deal runs out. He could be the dogs baws or he could be just baws but unless he gets a chance we will never know. I for one would hate if he leaves in the summer for nothing without being given a chance then moves elsewhere & turns out to be the goal machine some people think he is.

Kmcalpin Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 An "exlcusive" for Keevins? Doing the rounds at FP for weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Also in Record. Mentioned he might choose to go to Championship instead. Staying at Motherwell not reported as an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderpig Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Hugh Keevins reporting that Blackman on way to Aberdeen. What can you say to that? If He does go it will be a certainty that he will score a couple against us when we play them up there in a few weeks, thats the way our luck goes. Wonder what the pre match odds on him as first goal scorer are, Jenno will know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickoza Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Hugh Keevins reporting that Blackman on way to Aberdeen. What can you say to that? Really is the most disliked "journalist" aint he?

Finlay Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Really is the most disliked "journalist" aint he? Seems to report any story which is negative towards us with glee. Git. Indeed. Only saving grace he is wrong more often than he is right. If he doesn't come back here I'd rather he went to the Championship just to sicken Broon.

Keevins is a whinging little :wank: who will make up stories to suit himself, but if it is true why worry the goal machine that is Casagolda will do the Business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Aberdeen might not suit as a bit further away. Sometimes these things matter. IIRC that was one of the things that put Kevin Kyle off a move to Aberdeen. On the plus side it allows McCall to bring in his own man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Diggle Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 The Casagolda joke was funny when we had a semblance of a positive run of form. Right now might be a serious waste of a wage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigeeze Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I dont know where all the negative comments about sutton are coming from. Hes an excellent player for us, one of the few that offers a bit of muscle in our team as well as 110% effort. 110% Effort??? Are we talking about the same player? He never seems interested in chasing a ball down if it requires a bit of effort IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris*Kaizer 2*Nunn Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 110% Effort??? Are we talking about the same player? He never seems interested in chasing a ball down if it requires a bit of effort IMO To be fair to him against Hamilton when he came off the bench he was by far our best player, at least he looked like he cared The whole Keevens thing, was this not the man who said we gave Ian McCall a job then we gave it to Gannon For some reason he hates Motherwell maybe when he was younger he was turned down on nights out by a few guys and it's scarred him for life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I think Sutton gives maximum efort too. Just think that heis also quite slow. I'd keep him though. A good SPL striker imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzyB Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 FWIW, I think big Sutton is quality. I'd keep Blackman & Fizzy if possible, and I'd sign Gow up 'til he's 35! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnstone Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 We should not be trying to get rid of any players. We have a tiny squad and I doubt if we got rid of anyone on this list we could replace them with better players. Thats the cold hard facts.

Jimmo Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I trust McCall will assess all the players he has available and make his own judgement on who he wants and who he doesn't. My hope is that he puts his own mark on the team be it players out/in, different players getting starts or new formations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infamous Wee Grafter Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 I'd get rid of Gow, Fizzy and Blackman - all replaceable. I honestly believe that every club in the Premiership has at least one potential young striker available for loan, of a similar or better standard to Blackman. Players that we've never seen or heard about. You just need the right contacts to find them and hopefully Mr McCall has them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Someone told me (can't remember who) that he heard Walter Smith state that he would help McCall any way he could in his new managerial role. Would rather any loan deals came from England but could see one or two coming from Ibrox in the next year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuwell Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 the trouble with getting players from auld wattie is that rangers hardly have any quality in their 1st team nevermind those who don't get a game and the auld boy won't be there after this season.

Finlay Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Not sure of the quality they have but if McCoist steps up to take his place I'm sure he would be more than helpful. Would rather McCall still has some good ties/pals at Everton right enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never seems interested in chasing a ball down if it requires a bit of effort IMO Yeah I think we are! The one that plays for motherwell? As someone posted hes a bit slow but I'd still disagree the above. Even then how many kicks and shoves will he take and balls he wins from the front? And his scoring record is 1 in 3, what crap striker, at any level has that sort of record? (And dont play the kris boyd card, haha!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
