Spence was hardly getting a look in towards the end of the season so I'm suspecting Smith didn't rate him. If the striker we've agreed terms with turns out to be Duggan it was alleged other full time teams were after him, would be surprised if we couldn't afford Spence but can somehow afford Duggan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadly Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 We couldn't afford to keep him due to the budget. I'm fairly certain that's not what happened, and there was no offer (even a reduced one) put on the table for him at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me you would have been far better with Spence than Duggan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I think there’s a chance Spence might’ve stayed had Buchanan not been under contract. Regardless of whether anybody rates Spence or not, there’s no way we could justify seeing those two up front again all season with Barry Smith in charge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit odd then - same source but a different take on it. Same outcome, he's away and we need bums on seats. Hopefully some new (and decent) faces come in soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also hoping (if we sign him) he might actually bring Buchanan into play a bit more as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Haha, what a bizarre way of announcing a signing that is. Reckon it’ll be Duggan back from his Oz trip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-zero Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Spence might be a better player than Duggan but I can't imagine that Duggan can be any less suited to our play under Smith than Spence was. I'm also hoping (if we sign him) he might actually bring Buchanan into play a bit more as well. I think duggans a better player than spence and looked excellent in a poor team last season can only get better going back full time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher brash Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 (edited) Regarding Spence , it’s clear that smith just didn’t rate him after Xmas because he hardly featured in the first 11 also it’s easy to tell a player that it’s down to budget rather than his ability or his type of player. Also I’m sure budgets have been cut but if Alloa can offer more than us it’s a worrying situation regardless if Alloa are in the championship because they still would only be averaging less than 1600 a home game Edited June 5, 2018 by basher brash 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Imagine it’s Duggan. Either that or an Argentinian goal scoring midfield general. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
