ekfootball Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Craig Slater signs for Colchester Utd. Turned down Kilmarnocks offer but did nearly change his mind at the last minute. Joined up with a pal of his Denny Johnstone at Colchester. Hearts, Aberdeen, St Johnstone, Blackpool all had discussions but for what ever reason he has signed for league 2 Colchester. Its a shame as the lad has bags of talent and would of got far more exposure at an Aberdeen or Hearts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLANCY2KTID Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Apparently the development fee was fairly decent, would rather he'd stayed, but it softens the blow a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboy Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 at least he got himself a club. guys like murray davidson, paul mcgowan and balotoni have all whored themselves to clubs down there and then had to come back up the road with their tail between their legs when no-one wanted them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Between Slater's development fee and the UEFA payment for Magennis' involvement with Norn Iron, that's a few bob due into the coffers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattmc Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Any info on Ross Barbour? I see he made over 50 appearances for yourselves. Signed for Stranraer tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 While Murray Davidson refused to entertain clubs below League One. Not sure seeing one of your most talented youngsters leaving the club and ending up at a side in Englands lowest tier is something worth bragging about tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Any info on Ross Barbour? I see he made over 50 appearances for yourselves. Signed for Stranraer tonight. Looked a very promising attacking right back when he broke into first team under Shiels but it went stale for him before long and he became utterly hopeless, a defensive liability. It was the right move for him to leave and I was intrigued when he signed for Kirky Rob Roy. Might come good if his spell in the Juniors has gotten him hungry again, but if he picks up where he left off with Killie you'll shite yourself every time a winger runs at him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Speaking of terrible fullbacks, where did Darryl Westlake eventually end up? We seemed to release him without announcement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C4mmy31 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) It looks like we might still be adding at least one more player to the squad, LC has hinted that 19 yr old,Adam Armstrong, is about to come in on a season long loan from Newcastle, 20 goals in 32 games on loan to Coventry last season Edited July 8, 2016 by C4mmy31 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure he left the same time as Hamill and the legend that is Scott Robinson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 It's been rumoured / reported that we've been after Armstrong for a while now. If we sign him I will predict he'll score some goals for us. I will not predict how many goals, nor what impact those goals would have on our league position, but still, yeah, goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estragon Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Can't understand Slaters decision. I really felt he'd get a bigger move than that. Certainly if he plays like he can he won't be at that level for long, good luck to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebonce Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Have Killie played any friendlies yet, and are there hints of what the manager might think his first XI is? It's probably too early to tell yet, but I'm interested to see what experience will be in the team. I'm guessing the following will probably be first picks at the start of the season: Jamie MacDonald Miles Addison Conrad Balatoni Steven Smith Gary Dicker Kallum Higginbotham Josh Magennis And out of those, I'm guessing MacDonald, Addison, Dicker and Magennis are the guaranteed starters. When listing it out there is more experience in the squad than I initially wondered, but it still seems to me to be a huge gamble to bring in so many inexperienced players. Ross County did it slightly differently two years ago, but there were between four to six players who regularly started at the beginning of that season who had no experience of Scottish football, and boy did it show. They might turn out to be really good signings, but I can't help but think the younger players are going to take a while to get to speed with the game,. I'm not sure this season's Premiership will afford much time to settle before falling behind the pack. Unless Hamilton and another are complete guff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higginbotham and Balatoni are still at the club technically, but they've been told to find new clubs, so we must assume they'll be away before the league games start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
