An upgrade would be a stretch methinks even on Balmer. I’m against loaning from another in the same league generally, we’d lose the player for 3 possibly 4 games as it stands.

Way down the pecking order after Liam Scales. Let that sink in.

That’s it. Close the poll.

Fair summation. JBA will learn more from today.

You win 🙄

Creeper’s gonna creep I suppose

Drole, even for you. For someone who went a little overboard in claiming you know me a couple of seasons back you could answer your own question.

Apparently 👍 Like I say, bit of a stretch.

What offer was this? Bit of a stretch enquiring about player availability and transfer fees.

Generalisation for you, an informed opinion from extensive experience from a few levels inside and outside the clubs. i’d wager I’m not the only one who’d say same. Back to ins and outs.

Foundations built on sand which were laid under both previous ownerships too come crumbling down. Losing their ‘elite’ academy status (which many like the Dundee clubs believed to be ill gotten) meant major loss of funding stream to operate. Don’t think the club envisaged that action. They’re not the first club in recent years to close or pause their academies. Queens Park who are every bit as renowned as Accies ceased their operation this year. Sign of the times? Unfair on ‘charlatan’ owner who’s no doubt made mistakes in those he’s employed to oversee operations when the known rogue who owns the ground gets a relatively free ride from those boycotting. Little sympathy for a support who hate us more than they love their own club.

Bravo. Go to the top of the class

Except he didn’t play with Murray…

Allows for projection though?

Referring to the horrendous patter quoted it is. The term I used previously has been pointed out elsewhere and I hold my hands up.

Used as leverage rather than rejected.

And the likelihood is that’s wide of the mark. The Daily Recard no closer.

Pragmatism? It’s certainly media savvy and the sensible approach. What’s to say the signings wished for are not long term goals as much as investing in club infrastructure? Think we are well placed.

🙄 It’s called protecting your asset, not sweating it

👍

Nae bother. Step away from the keyboard. He was the source of your info last year so figured may be same.

Latest scoop from the doorman at Club100 again?

Despite where many have seen him play, McGhee was signed with a view to filling a defensive midfield berth. Kettlewell alluded to that before end of January window and Wimmer shared that view when meeting him a few times prior to end of season. We’ll see soon enough if JBA shares that outlook.

The two posts above help dispel the theory. Club will realise a market value like never seen soon enough.

Turnbull’s example? That subject has been done to death and no amount of revisionism changes it. David Turnbull extended an existing deal for David Turnbull. Club benefitted from pre-agreed deal with Celtic. Thats not a slate on the player either.
