Syd Puddefoot Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Christ, still bumming up Telfer after a handful of good games in 3 seasons. Always other players faults...aye decent on the ball but without it he was outmuscled and chasing shadows against part time players, who were pacier and stronger. Really glad he's away, we can get better than him. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really glad he's away, we can get better than him. We played him out of position all season last year, had him sitting far too deep to affect the game. He should have been playing as the 10 but due to our horrendous recruitment he was left trying to do it all in the middle of the park. Just imagine having to try play in the middle of the park with Gary Miller & Steven Hetherington? Edited June 10, 2022 by FFC 1876 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 That being said I'd take Savoury as his replacement and he'd most likely be on less of a wage than Telfer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gomis was still very competent then and should've been able to get the best out of him but it was once in a blue moon he turned it on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had to do fuckin everything for himself last season. Maybe you didn't notice? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was one of our only players the last few seasons that was capable of going and winning a game for us. With the 20 players we currently have signed up for next season you can only really say that about Callumn Morrison at the moment. Still plenty of work to be done right enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capable yes but didn't do it more than 3 or 4 times a season unfortunately if that. When he first arrived he ran the show at Ayr United in a league cup game and I thought wow what a player he's going to be in league one. However, we only saw that telfer on a handful of occasions. That's why he was in league one and not playing at a higher level. Bags of talent but no confidence or desperation to use it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Believe The Hype Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Telfer was part of the worst 3 seasons in my lifetime as a Falkirk fan. In the bin. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see anybody saying he was or is a superstar. He was however our best midfielder by some distance last season and, as I said, given we need to build a squad, he would be a good addition to it. Not necessarily a starter but definitely an option. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends then what kind of contract he was on or wanted mind you. I'd expect he would've had to take a wage cut if only seen as a squad player and might have thought he'd get better elsewhere anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) Last point i'll make on Telfer as football's opinion based so of course we're not all going to agree. Here's the stats from the rest of the centre midfielders/attacking midfielders in the league last season. Tried my best to keep it to players who played centrally. Dylan Easton - 8 goals, 9 assists Charlie Telfer - 5 goals, 8 assists Luca Connell - 7 goals, 5 assists Stefan Scougall - 4 goals, 8 assists Fraser Fyvie - 8 goals, 2 assists Grant Savoury - 6 goals, 4 assists Scott Brown - 6 goals, 3 assists Rhys Mccabe - 5 goals, 4 assists Adam Frizzell - 3 goals, 5 assists Edited June 10, 2022 by FFC 1876 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye that's it, he should have been scoring from his own half as least once every 3 games as that's how far back we had him playing all season. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His 5 goals were all against the utter dross of the league. Even when we had a decent side two year ago and was played further forward he could only muster 4 again all against the poor sides in the league. He's a player you know can do so much more but hardly ever does. Very frustrating. Edited June 10, 2022 by Jackie Myles 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double t Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 20 hours ago, Andreas Kelevra said: Not impressed with any of our signings - have we learned nothing - If you cannot get decent players at least sign big strong athletes. Gary Oliver, no idea who he is, but a striker who hasn't scored more than 10 in a season - He'll be 27 at the start of the season - he's just managed that amount of career goals! McGinn is a risk, hunners of clubs, lots of mutual consents, had a bad injury in the past - could be well past it. Mackie = crock <Season ticket money stays in back pocket> So who would you like to see us sign? Just mind we are in the 3rd Tier of Scottish football no the premier league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin James Left Knee Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 What's the point of arguing over Telfer - he's gone. It was stated at the Directors meeting that we were likely to only sign 5 or 6 players which would mean we won't see many more come in on contracts. I hope the next is the striker we really need. The rest will be made up of loan players and the squad will be c. 24 to 25. So I wouldn't expect many more in as the budget will be close to spent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
