ndhscanary 0 Posted May 17, 2009 Just a question really but obviously at the moment all the talk is about players leaving the club but when do people think we will actually bring a player into the club? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LinkNR9 0 Posted May 17, 2009 We usually leave it until late in the summer, so that we don''t have to pay their wages for a couple of months, when there are no games. The only problem with that is that it leaves little time to ''bed'' them in, get them fit and to bond with the rest of the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dean Coneys boots 1,400 Posted May 17, 2009 The club look forward to signing some exciting players for the season ahead. Nobody signs players in June or July, so don''t expect anything soon, and remember the loan market doesn''t shut until September. I know we were all devastated to miss out on the signing of ''A good player'' who we were heavily linked with in the press. However we are very happy to have snapped up the signing of ''nobody else wanted him cos he is rubbish'' who has spoken of his determination to break into the Scotland D team in the coming months. It is my opinion that leaving it late -and then botching things in the transfer market is what has bought this club to its knees. But as every day goes by I worry that no lessons have been learnt and that we will be farting about sorting the board and funding - as though relgation came out of the blue -whilst others snap up the quality.

Grif 0 Posted May 17, 2009 Gunn mentioned that he might be close to agreeing one or two things in his piece on the offy site. Could just be trying to curry favour with fans though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sideshow Tim 110 Posted May 17, 2009 The rumour is that we should have at least 2 players unvailed for the 2nd week of August.You heard it here first[;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cantiaci Canary 557 Posted May 17, 2009 I would imagine that we need to sell and free up wages before we can realistically approach lower league players with precise offers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newboy 0 Posted May 17, 2009 Think you will find that most players are contracted until 31st may, and with holidays and all that its not often you see much happen until the start/middle of june, i keep telling myself thats the reason anyway! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bluemike 0 Posted May 17, 2009 Have you guys any chance of keeping Alan Lee next season ? As a Ippo fan I kept tabs on him and he seemed to play pretty well for you, unlike most of the others who rolled over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was the only player who came to clap the fans afterwards without being told to by Gunn. I think if our board are willing to put the cash up then we could get him for something like £200,000. He said he wants to stay aswell. Can anyone else not seeing this being Martin Taylor all over again. We will haggle with them over like £10,000 and ofcourse we wont end up getting him.Is it just me or is anyone else worrying that we are going to end up getting a load of man united kid rejects. Gunn obviously knows Fergie well from his aberdeen days and I can see Fergie just leting us have all the youngsters he doesnt want on the cheap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I''d be quite happy with Man U''s castoffs, (Ebanks Blake, Higginbottom...) I don''t think we''ll get them. Bruce and Keane and his son are ahead of us in the queue. If lee is £200k, then defs get him, enen if it''s an extra £500k upon promotion. He''d be worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
