Harry Kinnear Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I can't really understand why he doesn't just sign a one year deal with us unless of course a one year deal isn't on the table. He will then have lots more clubs interested in him this time next season or could sign a pre contract in January. Some of those clubs will be a lot closer to home too and he'll still only be 22. Has it not been mentioned on here that it's a 2 year deal. Surely though the subject of a one year deal has been put to him. Knowing the way the Falkirk board are they probably wouldn't entertain the thought of him leaving at the end of next season for heehaw. In my opinion it's a risk worth taking as we would be in a better position to try and get up with Sibbs in the team. As has been said though this is all guess work as we don't know what is actually going on with Sibbs or from a club perspective. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they would want to trial a player who can perform at his best to try and impress. Not spend time waiting about getting him fit to find out that he's not required anyway. Yeah so we're having that do it by the looks of things. Obviously Luton aren't as gullible as we are and don't want to spend any time on him when we'll do it for them.. Its obviously only a slight injury. Surely he could go down there for a weeks training and he would be fighting fit by the end of the week I would have thought. He's a free agent so has bags of time on his hands. Edited July 19, 2017 by Shadwell Dog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we already know what he can do when he is fit, so know that it is in our best interests to keep him that way, whether it's to play for us or to be a sellable asset. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not going to be match fit by the time the season starts anyway as he won't have kicked a ball in a semi competitive game for weeks. If clubs are that desperate to sign him they'll get him in get him fit and have a good look at him. If he's been training with us he cant be that injured anway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky_ffc Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Don't see a huge issue with him training with us. It's hardly costing us and by keeping him fit we either make him more attractive to those willing to pay the compensation or end the window with him still a Falkirk player and ready to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be nowhere near ready to play by the close of the window. He needs games and hasn't played any whilst the rest of our squad will have had preseason, league cup and a month of league games under their belt by then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I take it he has to sign some sort of deal with us for us to be allowed to play him. Apart from the compensation issue is he a free agent. How does it work if he goes to another Scottish club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairney The Dinosaur Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 If it was anyone else you guys would be going mental. True, but he isn't anyone else. I'd be raging if we didn't offer Sibbs training facilities, even if he wouldn't sign for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC55 FFC Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 He'll be nowhere near ready to play by the close of the window. He needs games and hasn't played any whilst the rest of our squad will have had preseason, league cup and a month of league games under their belt by then. He's had the same pre season training as the rest of our squad minus a couple of bounce games (I include the Stirling game in that category). He's a young, fit guy. It won't take him long at all to get up to speed for the competitive games wherever he is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be a mile behind by then. As far as I know you cant play as a trialist in the league cup or in the championship or premier up here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'll be signed up by someone before the month is out to be honest, nevermind the window closing. He can't play in the league cup but he could play up to 3 league games as a trialist should he/we wish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it changed when the SPFL came into being. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
