I don't know about Brad Spencer, but I'm OK with signing an experienced midfielder. Not everyone will have resale value, but when you're oldest starting player is 25, it's a sign that a more experienced head or two wouldn't be a bad thing.

Just asked a Falkirk supporting mate about Spencer.

Described him as a "quarterback" type with good range of passing. Reckons transfer fee of £400-500k.

Sounds like a ready made Watt replacement with well over £1m profit on the 2 deals.

I think Id be pretty ok with that.

Rumour last night that Alex Lowry about to sign.

That’s very much our type of player - think he’d be a decent signing

Yeah, no objection to bringing in experienced heads, but if we're splashing the cash, hopefully it's on someone who has more experience of top level football than Spencer.

Wonder if Yan Dhanda is on our radar? Always thought he was a creative player.

Hahahaha.

Absolutely not. £40-50k max.

That amount didn't even cover the cost of his da's club car back in the day.

Well, with respect, I dont think Falkirk are selling him for that amount of money!

Do you not rate him as a player? Is he not worth it?

Like I said previously, Ive never paid any real attention to him, so Ive no idea what he is worth.

I'd be surprised if Falkirk were looking to sell him or if he was looking to leave to begin with tbh.

A 30 year old midfielder who has 1 season in the top division with no resale value who you'll get 2 years out of (maybe 3 at the very most)? No, he's not worth anything like £400-500k and if anyone is daft enough to spend that money on him it'll certainly not be us.

Its certainly not our model to be fair. Re-sale value is usually important to us, especially if we are paying a fee for someone. However, with the churn of this seasons squad and the profit already banked, could we be looking at just getting someone tried and tested in that will do a job and stay for 2/3 seasons?
