Shadwell Dog Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Harkins tends to be a bit lazy but that shouldnt be an issue with the number of midfielders that we have that can do the dirty work for him. We certainly need his creativity though. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Harkins a disastrous signing. He'll absolutely pish this league. What a horrendous shout that is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford Baptie Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Worth noting that according to SKY in their Rotheham season preview they've got the Vaulks fee as £440,000 which tbh is a very good deal for us. Still baffling that none of it can be made available for another couple of midfielders though. Half that number and take off another 20 and you'll be nearer the price we got for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple that number, divide by six/sevenths, add your birth year, take away your inside leg measurement and that's what we got for him. #intheknow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadwell Dog Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 If we only got approx 200k for him then that's pretty poor going to be honest. Wouldn't be surprised though with the clowns in our boardroom who tend to take the first half decent bid that comes along. Its no wonder Rotherham were in for him at that sort of price .I suppose next years accounts will give us some idea but by then the heat will have died down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate was in the room with Vaulks, Danny Rogers and Sibbs when Vaulks took the call from his agent confirming that the club accepted the bid.Barnsley actually came back in with a better offer but Vaulks had already given his word on the deal with Stubbs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deefiant Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Harkins would be a disastrous signing. We need someone who can run. Gary Harkins pished all over your midfield last season in the cup. It was quite embarrassing tbh after hearing how vaulks and "sibbs" were going to tear us up for shitey paper. For clarity, he'd immediately be your best player. He's signing for Hamilton* anyway so it's a moot point. *true as of last Thursday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely nobody actually said that. I don't care enough to check but I can't believe that to be true. Harkins would do well for us if used the right way but there's absolutely no chance our board will commit to that outlay with no chance of selling him on for a fee. Presumably he'd be looking to stay at Premiership level anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are people who post on here who have, shall we say, an association with certain players. Which is why if a trialist appears in a U20 game he often gets named either on here or social media. The problem is that so much shite gets posted it can be difficulty to separate the accurate from the asinine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's looking likely to join Hamilton, a team who continue to operate a division above Falkirk and the same level as he currently plays.Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) Aye but you wouldnt choose to go from dundee to hamilton would you? Obviously teams in the top flight have hardly been queing up for his services so hes ended up at hamilton.

He's spoken to 2 other top flight clubs and 4 championship teams.He's only leaving Dundee due to a falling out with the gaffer. 9/10 Dee's would keep him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Stating the obvious but Hamilton that the team that couldn't buy a win(with their own money,not someone else's) managed to stop Dundee finishing in the top 6 for a bigger cash prize By beating them. To think, those earned £'s may have gave you the cash to keep your top goalscorer instead of flogging him for £250k, Stewart will be next probably for less or nothing. That's where Scottish football is now, a game of who can piss higher.... Never been overly impressed with Harkins in seeing him v us, his best games I've seen him in were on tv. If we were interested, I reckon it would've blocked Sibbalds progress, tho Harkins has the killer pass thats missing from Sibbalds game and what we are missing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morton fans seem to think that he lives very close to Cappielow. Harkins would be a good addition at this level but is probably a luxury we can't afford. We need a good box to box midfielder and he sure couldn't be accused of being that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grass Is Greener. Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Could see Harkins and GMS linking up well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
