Springfield Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Nothing like a bit of trawling. If McGlynn and the hierarchy are serious about getting out this shiter of a league, I’d be hoping that every avenue is explored with players that can make a difference. Sibbs may be untouchable but if there’s a chance you never know…..maybe you’re happy to piss around this league for another season, if we can bridge a gap of 400K, a deal with the likes of Sibbs can’t be discounted. If the guys in charge have serious ambitions of getting out this league, it’s guys like Sibbald will make a difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulioBairn Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 The transfer window really brings out the best of this forum. One minute we should be signing a striker from the 9th division, the next we should be signing Sibbald who’s just played 90mins and scored in the Premier League. I’m gona suggest we maybe aim somewhere in between those 2 but it’s just a suggestion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't need much factor 50 in Victoria, tell him to pack a brolly and not to throw away his big jaekit.

Anything between 120 and 150 grand by the time appearance, win and bonuses are added. I’d be surprised now if there are many Premiership First team squad players on less than 90 and 100 grand. Unfortunately most fans don’t realise these are the kind of going rates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS - NPL is not a good level. It's alright saying an overweight Griffiths couldn't cut it across there but fairly certain he was playing in the A league. If Wilson is playing at a lot lower level then he might actually resemble a footballer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league we are is and our player churn over the last few years does not help. The quality needed will have better and more reliable offers out there and that is how it is no amount of wishful thinking will change it. Best way to go is a few loan deals that hopefully gets us over the line and out of the league. Once that is achieved the squad needs dumped with a few exceptions as just not good enough to stay up as the Dundee game proved the current lot won't cut it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, the point I was making is that we need to somehow get two/three players in that are better than what we’ve got. No easy task in January but sometimes managers can get lucky. Sibbs was used as an example only, as believe his playing time has been limited, and maybe worth an ask. Its not stopped the club paying ridiculously high wages to the likes of Griffiths last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
