Like saying I would rather have a dose of crabs than the clap

If Telfer’s contract had been in place until June 2023, and had Nesbitt’s contract expired in June 2022, you would have had your preference.

Telfer was rightly emptied at the end of last season along with a load of other dross. The end of this season will see the door hitting  the arse of the likes of Nesbitt and co and tbh it can't come quickly enough. No room for the odd fleeting performance here and there. In Telfer's case he's got a degree in law, so if at least he does decide to jack football in  he's at least got a career ahead of him.

Telfer has the ability of someone who should be playing in the top flight but the heart and consistency of someone who should be playing on your local public park. Another player every manager thinks they can get a lot more out of only to find out that they actually can't.  Was part of the midfield that was regularly out battled by airdries over the past few seasons so strange they want to sign him.

I think Airdrie might have much better players to support him in midfield, and that might be the key to getting more out of him.

I always felt their greatest asset was that they all put in a good shift. I doubt they'll get that from him but you never know.

Highly critical of his attitude, application and effort, however if he’s got a decent couple (especially a box to box type) of players, it wouldn’t  surprise me to see him in a different light. As many have said something wrong when he was still available six weeks into season.

Our manager was part of that midfield so I will trust his judgement on this one.

Wage demands and a desire to move down south, not many teams down south looking for a midfielder who played for a team that finished 6th in Scotland's 3rd tier I guess. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I hope he does well. Time will tell.

If at the end of last season, we could only keep one of Nesbitt, McGuffie and Telfer, then I think Telfer would have been the one to keep.

He’s last season’s Blair Alston, obviously has ability but being played out of position as a holding midfielder and having the likes of Hetherington and Gary Miller next to you is worse than being a man short. Alston was widely regarded as finished and he turned out ok last season and I imagine Telfer will be much of the same. He’s a better player than Mcguffie and Nesbitt for sure, mind you that wouldn’t be hard
