R.R.FC Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 When we signed John Baird from Airdrie it seemed pretty common knowledge before the end of the season too but I’m not sure if there was an official announcement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jilted John Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I think, after the Calum Elliot fiasco, announcing Pre Contracts should be banned. It also puts the player himself under pressure with his own clubs fans for the rest of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they do, it won’t be in front of fans anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottydog Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 If Clyde aren't training just now I wonder if Tom will be invited to train (even PT) with the team in the interim? It's common knowledge that many players ask to train with clubs they aren't attached to and this would give Lang an extended bedding in period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. No chance he'll be in before we need him. It's an additional risk with no benefit other than him getting to know some defenders (some of who might not even be here after the summer). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilted John Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Imagine him and Frankie at the back together! I get the feeling though, especially after games like Saturday, that it’s more likely he will be replacing him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at least two of (and possibly all) Davison, Mendy and McKay probably won’t be with us next season. Either way we’ll need a bed centre back or two so it is a sensible signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottydog Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Last season I was firmly of the opinion that McGlynn didn't care for big Dave. Then I heard at the start of the season that he is seen as as a long term part of the Rovers defence and that the gaffer was looking to pair him up with a quality young centre half. Sadly the other centre half went elsewhere but I don't think that changes anything for McKay so I think he'll be here next season unless the injury repair has failed.....which I don't think it has. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
