L. Brilliant Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Keatings would be a tremendous signing but will easily get a Premier team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Someone has mentioned over in the Hearts thread that Carrick may also be on his way out. He could be the injury prone forward we need to replace Calum Elliot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely he can't get the f**k kicked out of him every week by McCulloch? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADMO Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 So far then that's Keatings, Carrick & Eckersly all on their way out from Hearts ? Seems Hearts may be about to have a major clear-out ... Wouldn't mind grabbing a couple of lads from them, however I highly doubt they would be in our budget ! Be interesting to see our squad size next season to, after all the "strength in depth" talk from last season, I'm curious if we will cut down a bit of remain about the same seeing as 2 of the "biggies" will be gone ... Plus side is Vaughan/Callachan are 2 players we haven't had to sign who can definitely be good additions, now if only we can do that every season or 2 ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie_Munrover Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 If they punt Elliot and Stewart then I would have thought that would free a descent wage for one of those hearts forwards....3 forwards for next season.... Nade, Vaughan, ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADMO Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I wouldn't punt Stewart, hes our top scoring striker is he not ? Don't get me wrong, hes perhaps only scored 10 or something, but it all goes back to this "finding a 15 goal a season striker is difficult" chat again ... Stewart & Vaughan have showed they work well together in what little game time they've had ... Elliot on the other hand, he can go, not totally sold on Nade either .... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 There is also the argument Stewart's form is a mere purple patch having done little to nothing most the season. I don't think we can justify keeping both Stewart and Nade; it's one or the other. I think next season's budget will decline, so wouldn't be surprised if Elliott and one of Stewart and Nade are replaced with one incomer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Keatings would be a fantastic signing, but fairly certain he'll end up back at Hamilton or a similarly sized SPL side, as will most of the released boys from Hearts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple patch or finding a strike partner who compliments him? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Purple patch or finding a strike partner who compliments him? They're not mutually exclusive, so could be either. I'd have definitely punted him up until about a month ago, but I'm not so certain now. Still a bit unsure that he really offers much, but he's not quite the lost cause I thought he was. There were too many times I've watched us and had to remind myself he was playing. I'd like to see Nade and Vaughan together. Stewart/Nade clearly didn't work, which makes it all the more frustrating that Vaughan was left out for so long. Nade's main problem is that he often seems to try and do too much, and does it too slowly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ding Dang Doo Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I do feel sorry for Nade though as, especially early and mid season, all we'd do is punt long balls up to him hoping he'd flick on for Stewart. He's not that type of player and it never worked yet Murray refused to play any other tactic. In other news Livi took another point off Rangers tonight. Yet more reason for us to question our performances against them this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet more reason for us to question our performances against them this season. That's what I thought Ding Dang Doo, Rangers are a shadow of the there self from years ago, other teams have proven it, we must have the worst record against them this season. Big season coming up for Murray potentially league could be easier and in my mind anything less than 5th in the league will be failure. Im guessing Murray has had the biggest budget out of all the Rovers managers in recent years and yet have we made progress ? I don't think we have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers1992/1993 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) FFP this morning saying Callachan is attracting interest from a few premiership clubs...Ross county believed to be one of them. The papers also saying that we have started offering new deals to players and, at least, 2 are very close to signing. Hoping Callachans one of those players now..

baillieinleeds Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I really hope Callachan is the player mentioned as he's an exciting prospect. As in re-sign. I'd love to see Keatings or Carrick play for us. But I'd imagine a relegated St Mirren might be a better fit as they'd have the potential to bounce straight back (you'd think). Or dependant on who follows them on the way down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally manage to get a couple of youth players into the first team = gone six months later Well, I hope not - but you'd have to laugh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
