I would say that if we sign Easton then previous Kettlewell have made players adapt well at club and think we can make him very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 I also find all the talk about Theo very interesting. Cue start of season and the guy was being written off before he had kicked a ball. I confess I was also a doubt but I wasnt on slating him. I feel we are far too early to judge players though I guess all clubs are the same. Vale was criticised before signing and looking now like Halliday will be the next boo boy, it takes time for players to settle so let's all give them a chance. Remember.....shouting and booing a player is hardly going to help their confidence. At same time , I hope Bair signs new extension and stays but just my opinion only but if offered £750k it's great business but I would try and get £1,000,000.

COYW The problem for Halliday is that he came with a pedigree so expectations are higher. Im hoping his issues are just lack of football and match fitness and that its not that his legs are just gone. Happy to see how he looks after a proper pre season and a bit more first team football. We should offer Theo an improved deal because he has earned it, but also to show prospective suitors we are serious about keeping him and if they want him they will need to make it worth our while. If we want to push his value up we need to send out the right signals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not be surprised we give Bair new contract then he get full season next season then leaves for money like Van Veen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellfan97 Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 Hope the rumours we're in for / signed Easton are true the guy is a good player. A few Raith fans I know rate him highly. At 30 it's realistically his last chance to get a shot in the top flight. He can play through the middle and out wide doubt he'd be a direct replacement for spittal but he's good enough to do a job. Scored a cracker at Tannadice in December. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsterwood Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 Was hoping we were aiming higher than Easton. Remember Spittals worth 750k but we got none of that. But we do have his wage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vale was criticised before signing and looking now like Halliday will be the next boo boy, it takes time for players to settle so let's all give them a chance. Remember.....shouting and booing a player is hardly going to help their confidence. It should be pointed out that there's a huge difference between us signing a player, fans looking at his previous record and discussing how he's performed up until that point, how we think he'll do for us and so on, and actually booing him at a game. The former is a large part of what being a fan of any club is all about. Chatting about speculation, looking at previous stats and so on and discussing how he's done until then and guessing how he'll fit into our squad and setup. If we all stop doing that and only discuss players once they've signed and only strictly discuss how they do for us, and even then only how they do for us after an agreed-upon period of time to allow them to settle in, we'd be as well binning this forum and others like it. It's like the investment thread and the individuals who keep saying, "Let's wait until something is concrete before discussing it." What's the fun in that? If you don't want to discuss it, then don't log in. Go and wait in the corner for official confirmation before weighing in. Leave the rest of us to pass the time discussing signings, speculating about new owners, and generally talking shite. It's what fans have done since the game originated. Previously, it was only done in pubs and workplaces; now, it's done online as well. It's all part of the fun of being a fan. 3 hours ago, wellgirl said: I boo no one. Never have and never will.
