Shodwall cat Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 2 hours ago, Juan Sheet said: 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 Even when played further forward when gomis was in the side previously though your lucky if he turned up one game in ten. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I think its almost a matter of fact that Airdrie are going to see a significantly better version of Telfer than we did, or at least more consistently at the level he's capable of. How many examples are there.... And it's not like there's doubt that he has talent. They will occasionally complain that he was anonymous here and there, but they will get more from him than we did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not convinced that will be the case, Morton fans told us what to expect from Telfer and for the most part they were correct, see no reason to think he’ll change his stripes now. When the going got tuff he would invariably vanish from games and only really turned it on in the rare occasions we were on top in games against the poorer sides and he didn’t need to dig deep or graft. It was the correct decision to release him as it would have been for Nisbet or Mcguffie had they been out of contract also. If we are going to win the division we need to find better than the likes of those 3. Edited September 11, 2022 by LatapyBairn. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I'm saying is there's no point in predicting Airdrie get the same version we got. It won't happen. Its happened with grim regularity since Hartleys summer. Players go on and do absolutely fine elsewhere and what we told other teams they were getting bears no resemblance. It's a rather depressing sideshow of the last 3 or 4 years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still was our second top goal scorer behind Morrison the last two seasons and a lot of that was playing deeper. Gomis was lucky to last an hour a game. I’m not disappointed he’s left as McGinn and Yeats are far better imo but I do feel he’s better than hetherington, Nesbitt and Mcguffie. It also wouldn’t surprise me if he did better for Airdrie as it’s what we do to a lot of players, hopefully Mcglynn is reversing that trend 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I think the general direction of the Telfer chat was that he was better than both McGuffie and Nesbitt. The only reason he left was because his contract was up, and FFC chose not to renew. Neither McGuffie nor Nesbitt were kept in preference to Telfer. If their contracts had expired in June, they’d be gone too. Not reading anyone wanting Telfer back on the books let alone describing him as any sort of saviour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had been with another club and available for McGLynn to sign would he have taken him on? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Looking forward to Saturdays game. Unexpected free Saturday allows M&S valuable rest time for players, to get injuries, niggles and knocks sorted. ( and correct team selection) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely couldn’t answer that. I would be of the opinion that he wouldn’t. However, McGlynn had his budget, and had he wished, he may have been able to sign him up as a free agent, but he didn’t, so in terms of probability it seems unlikely, but that’s nothing more than an uninformed opinion as I don’t have a clue as to how McGlynn evaluates such things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shodwall cat Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Mcglynn didn't rate a single player on our books before he came in including telfer. He'd have binned every single one of them if he had had the chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t have to be ITK to be aware that a manager can offer an out of contract player a new contract if he wants him! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
