CALDERON Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Wasnt a fan of the Locke appointment, but I understand the boards reasoning when they explained why they hired him. And happy enough with the signings. We are likely to be a mid-table side next season - guys that havent been good in the Premiership arent automatically going to be failures (Jason Thompson, John Baird, Mckeown....) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuigan1978 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) McHattie's performance in that League Cup tie a few seasons back was without exaggeration, one of the most inept I'd seen in a long time. However, it was about three years ago and with a bit of luck he's come on since then. He did look out his depth at both Hearts and Kilmarnock though, although thats's not to say he can't do a job for us right enough. I'll hazard a guess we bring in Dale Carrick next.

Beachbum Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Don't want Carrick. In fact I hope we can get away from the Hearts or Kilmarnock connection and go for someone like Shankland on loan from Aberdeen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 If we do end up signing Templeton we will have our quota of "recovering from injury out to prove a point" players. Carrick was a good player but I'd rather we look for a target man and maybe a loanee to boost that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like Shankland too, but I'm sure it was mentioned somewhere that we couldn't afford the percentage of wages which Aberdeen were looking for last term. Unless something has changed I'd imagine we'd be in the same boat again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to question how St Mirren managed it as they were bleating on about their budget being on par with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuigan1978 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Have to question how St Mirren managed it as they were bleating on about their budget being on par with us. They averaged about 1200 more than us for every home game and had a parachute payment. Had to be significantly more than ours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 McHattie Can't believe some Raith fans are still looking forward to next season. As I'd be astounded if Dale Carrick wasn't your first choice striker come August. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raith1974 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 What about Declan Mcmannus. Scores goals and possibly freed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raith1974 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Unlikely as he will hold out for better wages at Killie. Did he not sign a 3 year deal last summer. That would be some pay off. Is he still injured is another â“ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raith1974 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 But he's under contract and doesn't need to go anywhere. Easy money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the name of that other ex-Hearts striker we had? The one who ran about a lot but couldn't score. Scored the winner that got us promoted. Sounds like Carrick would be a suitable replacement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
