18BAIRN76 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Killie and St Mirren reportedly after Darryl Duffy. There goes any slim chance we had of getting him back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

18BAIRN76 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I know its close season, but by f**k this has been dull. One signing and it came 3 days after the season finished.. Not inspiring me with confidence. Wouldn't be so worried if we were being linked to players or had people on trial, but neither is the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Holt will have something up his sleeve. Norwich won't be back in training yet so wouldn't imagine we would get any loans until they are. Same with Villa 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ka202 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I see falkirk have hit their target of 1500 with the early bird season ticket offer with one day still to go, hopefully there's a few more getting sold tomorrow. I spoke to the lady in the shop who told me they've sold about 100 a day for the last 5 days, so another 100 tomorrow (or more seen as its the weekend) wouldn't go a miss.

FFC 1876 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Taylor now linked to peterborough Theyre close to selling theyre young striker to crystal palace so they shouldnt be short on money, baring in mind they paid 300k for bobby olejnik we will have at least 500k for taylor. Have to say im very disapointed that weve not got anyone on trial and only one (new)player has been signed. The way I see it if theyre good enough they aren't going to be on the market for very long especially if they are free. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a serious post? Taylor isn't a 1/2 million pound man, you would need someone who could play in the EPL right away to even have a hope of getting that amount for a player. If you get 1/4 of that you could be happy, not delighted but it would be a reasonable fee. Edited June 29, 2013 by parsforlife -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't be bothered with onef at all, if you took heed of all the posts on there you'd think falkirk were bottom of the third division, about to be liquidated. I think most posters on that site have not been to a falkirk game in years/ever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 £500k would buy any squad in this division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a bairn Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) £500k would buy any squad in this division. Whilst Taylor is nowhere near worth 500k, the above statement is complete and utter bullshit. Edited June 29, 2013 by Just a bairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cringeworthy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 £500k would buy any squad in this division. Duffie + Kingsley + Fulton + Sibbald + Alston + Grant + Taylor = substantially more than 500k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Whilst Taylor is nowhere near worth 500k, that above statement is complete and utter bullshit.Think so? Falkirk are probably one of the better placed teams for this, and even then you're looking at maybe £100k for Taylor, £50k for your keeper and maybe another couple of five figure sums for the best of the young lads. You're not going to make up another £250k punting squad players that nobody in their right mind would ever bother paying proper money to release from their contracts. Morton have just accepted a £50,000 bid for one of the league's standout players. You could argue Dougie Rae's negotiating tactics aren't what they could be, but the top end figure still isn't more than £100k. I'd be interested to see a list of reasonable purchase prices for any of the teams in this league that topped half a million quid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got 300k up front for Murray Wallace which could rise to 700k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris. Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) but the top end figure still isn't more than £100k. Isn't it? We sold two players for that and more just last season. Wallace for £300k+ and Higginbotham for a reported £150k. Ryan Flynn also went the year before for £150k. I would feel pretty confident we'd be looking at closer to £200k, maybe more for Lyle Taylor. Whether people think he's worth that or not is an entirely different matter, but IMO that would be the sort of fee we'd be looking for. ETA: There was only 6 months between the Flynn and Wallace/Higginbotham transfers. £600k+ from 3 players in just 6 months. Not bad.

gav-ffc Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 The new number 2 is away on a scouting mission today apparently. Pleasing. Taylor is worth 350k minimum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris. Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 The new number 2 is away on a scouting mission today apparently. Pleasing. Taylor is worth 350k minimum. I'd disagree with that. Bearing in mind he has just a year left on his contract. I'd be happy with £200k and some add ons to be honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
