It’s bonkers that we knew the squad was too large and didn’t have enough quality yet could end up with +20 of the same squad We'll only have ourselves to blame if we go into next season with the majority of the same squad and wonder why we're still crappy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, but the new manager's brief should also include "mutualling" any contracts for players he doesn't want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wasn't clear who's option (the player or the club) . He's been decent in the games he's played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a good servant, not without his faults, but one of our better centre half’s in recent times Nowhere near the quality of Aldred , Hartley or big hutch. The fact that so many are sorry to see him go says more about the quality of our defenders in the last two or three years than anything else. He won't last long in England.

mfc Posted Monday at 08:56 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 08:56 PM Sneddon was decent in his limited appearances but I wouldn't be fussed either way if he stays or goes,I hope we don't see any of the rest return as it would be a backwards move and will limit any progress that were able to make.

fizoxy Posted Monday at 09:18 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 09:18 PM Seddon played 200+ games in his career, including 30 odd in the season before joining us, so I'm not sure we can call him injury prone. Definitely not in the mould of Sam Nicholson, who is a genuine perma crock. Seddon had 2 injuries with us, and missed games at the start of the season when wilson kept his place. The big injury he had last season was the ankle one that put him out for months, that i think happened in a game. It would come down to how hard those are to recover from long term. I like him, and he's a better footballer than the other options there, he also gives us a good fdw options on the left of defence, whether LB, LWB, or LCB, so I'd like to keep him, especially since decent left bqcks dont grow on trees, but he hasn't played enough for me to be turning up at FP with a pitch fork if he wasn't extended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewarkfanclub Posted Monday at 10:18 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 10:18 PM I liked Casey. Good defender at our level and wore his heart on his sleeve which always endears a player to fans. But he isnt worth breaking the bank for so if he thinks he can get a better deal elsewhere good luck to him. Seddon Id keep for all the reasons above. Thompson - punt Davor - punt Paton - punt Moses - if he has been offered peanuts and is happy to be our 80th minute chaos maker Id keep. Just because players like that arent easy to come by. Id also be looking to move on Nicholson, Robinson and Stuparevic as soon as they are fit, so wouldnt be including them in our squad numbers as I dont expect them to contribute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might be able to loan them out if they're fit in time for the windows and don't figure into our plans. But it's very unlikely that we're going to mutual them. Even if we wanted to, I don't know why any of them would give up any of their contract when they face uncertainty after a lengthy injury. At worst they'll not get back to full fitness before their contract ends, and leqve next summer, and at best a couple of them will be fit by January and save us from loaning in some children as deadline panic buys. So I doubt the new manager will be hanging any hopes on them either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. That would give our new manager more leeway to bring in his own men. Plenty of scope to mutual permacrocks. The only player on the "undetermined list" I'd consider keeping would be Seddon and then its 50/50. As an aside the transfer window opens on Thursday. Apologies if everyone knows that.

Fair enough , but as I said I only concern myself with motherwell fc where he only played 10 times last season , which was a pity as he is a very good player. Oh and just to let you know I was very successful in my chosen field before I retired and indeed part of that was recruitment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi-1991 Posted 14 hours ago Report Share Posted 14 hours ago Don't think Millers performance for Scotland will have done his price tag any harm. Shall we start the game of "much we gettin?" bingo before the 'undisclosed fee' is inevitably announced. I will start the bidding at £5 mill plus addons.

He also had a fractured cheek bone and eye socket in 2023 but that was obviously a freak accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
