TheScarf Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I’m pretty sure ‘free’ loans are a thing of the past now. Even if you get them from the Old Firm/Aberdeen/Hearts. Every club will be paying a wage percentage for loanees imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don’t want to see McKay play there again. He won’t play then 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proudtobeabairn Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 There's no way to defend prioritising a 2 year deal for Nesbitt over a right back. Also sounds like Spencer, Miller and Lang have been given deals they couldn't refuse. Let's hope they're worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 If Yeats is on board with turning into a RB then he's plenty young enough to switch and specialise there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC55 FFC Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I suppose we need to remember they tried Leahy at LB and how that turned out so you never know. Yeats at least looks competent at football, Leahy was a horrible midfielder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If McGlynn thinks Yeats can be converted to a right back we just need to trust him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also sounds like Spencer, Miller and Lang have been given deals they couldn't refuse. Let's hope they're worth it. What an odd take. Unless you've a crystal ball it's impossible to question the reasoning of re-signing a player the manager rates and who clearly wanted to stay, after the revolving door of years gone by. We could have let Nesbitt go (or he opted to leave) and still be without a RB of the desired quality - which McGlynn says he has prioritised - and the others gone elsewhere. You're ignoring the work and effort to possibly persuade those who did sign and the fact they were available. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Hamilton getting beat 3-1 off Cumbernauld Colts yesterday with a relatively strong team maybe their summer signings haven't been as good as some feared. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 9 hours ago, Skyline Drifter said: Thats pretty unlikely in my experience. A loan player is likely cheaper than he would be to sign but not by as much as you're suggesting. They'll be close to a first team wage if they are any good. And the only way you might get one for buttons / free is if you guarantee him starts. Well my experience is very different from yours, that’s for sure. For example, we were paying 10% of Stokes salary, and in money terms, we will be offering up less than that now……significantly less. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The percentage of your typical first teamer is. Anthony Stokes from Arsenal about 20 years ago is hardly a typical loan example. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For StuartA’s Hillman Avenger, that 12 miles is probably a 2 hour journey add on, so Dumfries is still a “get home on the same day” journey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn’t pay anywhere like that amount for him. Most loans are close to free at this level as the loaning clubs just want their players involved on a Sat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Stokes from Arsenal about 20 years ago is hardly a typical loan example. He was a loan player though. You cannot set it aside as irrelevant. There are many examples throughout the clubs. Do you think Stirling Albion were paying the majority of a young Jay Rodriguez salary? Not a snowball’s chance in hell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, it won't take any longer to get from Falkirk to Annan, than to Dumfries, because with Annan, you stay on the motorway until you're much closer to your destination. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
