Geordie_Munrover Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I hope I'm wrong but I have a feeling McKinnon ain't gonna go with McGurn as first choice.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Easily narrowed down to the other players McKinnon hasn't signed, that are any good (excludes Thomson & McKeown) So Callachan, Barr, Vaughan. In that case it would have to be Barr, or maybe McGurn. Callachan and Vaughan would appear to fit the profile of a McKinnon signing so they should be fine. I suppose it depends whether you would consider Thomson or McKeown a loss as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I can't believe after all the hoo-hah about Murray and McGurn no incoming manager wouldn't be, at least, 'briefed' about the situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it seems a bit unlikely. I bet Naysmith would've played Murray!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADMO Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Anderson being told to go and McGurn might not start ? Is it to early for MCKINNON OUT !!!! Hahahaha !! All seriousness though, I'm very impressed with all our dealings so far this campaign, its absolutely brilliant to see a Manager know who he wants and go get them this early on ... Never one for going to pre season games but I think I may tag along to a few this time ! Very excited to see what we can do this season, fighting for 4th would be perfect 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midfield Shield Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Yeah, yeah, yeah!! We are not really interested in Paul Watson and Hibs, quelle surprise. However, your source for the GRANT ANDERSON stuff you were peddling earlier? There's a good lad...oh , and your team..other than Scotland ....? A very reliable source. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Hearing tonight that Aaron birch from west brom still on trial and that mckinnon wants to offer him a deal. McKinnon hasn't got a clue. Never mind Birch, what about Anderson and McGurn?! Boooooo! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I'd like to see another striker brought in if I'm honest. I know there's Vaughan and Stewart, and to a lesser extent Megginson. But I'd just like to see someone come in who is in about the box to bury chances. We all know what Vaughan and Stewart are capable of, but they aren't truly penalty box finishers. They have more to their game than that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Whilst Birch sounds like he could be a good player for us, surely it's cover out wide that is the priority? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Surely from a legal standpoint we can't just offer deals to players, have them sign a contract, then suddenly withdraw it because one player is part time and the other doesn't fit into McKinnon's plans. Either that or the player(s) remain at the club but McKinnon chooses not to play them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or the player(s) remain at the club but McKinnon chooses not to play them? The contracts will stand. You would like to think that McKinnon will be open minded enough to allow any preconceived ideas about certain players to be changed and that if the players do the business McKinnon will play them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MICMAC Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Did these stories start on fantalk? What a load of BS! What's probably happened is that he's been offered a contract and been told that's what the offer is, if you don't like it you're free to find another club. It wouldn't surprise me if some of the trialists that McKinnon looks at will be wingers. Have a look at how the gel with what he wants from the team, instead of signing one or two and they're mince 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm taking that as he was offered a deal and accepted it, regardless if McKinnon was confirmed as the gaffer or not at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith_Rasta Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) What da f**k is happing? Is Ando, and McGurn ta tas? McKinnon says there is a wee bit budget left. So if they left I'd guess that would free up 3 lower league players, Maby that's why Laidlaw got a new contracts. A fucking hope, no Edited June 27, 2015 by Raith_Rasta 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I think a lot of people are jumping to conclusions here. All we have heard is that Anderson received a text along the lines of "if you wish to look for (and presumably join) another club then we will not stand in your way." That's by no means a "there's not a place for you here" (it could have been something of a goodwill gesture/test of faith) the only other thing we have heard is some second hand grumbling from Andy C, who we would all assume is reliable (as for who he heard from, who knows). I'm pleased with how McKinnon has conducted himself so far. He seemed to deal with the Watson situation well in my book. He's had a clear out for sure, but the last thing a new manager, in any line of work, will want is a group of players who liked and miss the old guy ("oh Grant used to do X,Y or Z"). I'm thoroughly pleased somebody who seems to have a plan for the Rovers has come on board, let's hope it works. I'm sure we're pointed in the right direction, but for it to work everybody needs to be focused on the man in charge's vision. That's why Watson will be warming Hibs bench next season. FWIW I'm bussing to see this team and I expect I'll be there next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoss Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Yeah, many guns being jumped on the basis of very little. You'll need to try a lot harder than this to dampen my pre-season optimism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
