Francesc Fabregas Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) This thread is designed as the definitive place to read up on all of Stenhousemuir's transfer activity and developments over the next few months. Every other team has their own close-season topic, and the Warriors should be no different. What we do know: Colin McMenamin, Kieran Millar and Ciaran Summers are all signed on for next season Chris Smith and Ross McMillan have joined Stirling Albion, while Bryan Hodge has moved on to Forfar Athletic Paul McMullan has returned to Celtic at the end of his loan agreement and is very unlikely to come back next term David Irons has returned to Ochilview as an assistant manager The playing budget for next season will be cut by around 25 per cent Plenty to get to grips with in there, anyway. Of the players out of contract, I think it's important we keep Alan Lithgow, Ross Meechan and Greg Fleming. I think there might be a player somewhere in Jamie McCormack and reckon he might just do us a turn. The rest can go. I'd feel a little sorry for Josh Watt as he tries his best but he's just too damn frustrating but the rest have let us down or haven't been good enough. We can't be expected to duke it out at the bottom of the division with laconic jobbers like Tony Marenghi in the side. As I said on another thread, this year will be a struggle but at least we're mentally prepared for it. At this stage I'd reckon we'll finish in the lower reaches of the table, if not bottom. I'm hoping to be a little more positive come August. Edited May 12 by Francesc Fabregas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scosha Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 How was Pedro Moutinho when he signed? Good move or waste of cash? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesc Fabregas Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 How was Pedro Moutinho when he signed? Good move or waste of cash? He offered nothing, but I can't imagine he was very paid much (if at all). I think he missed the game against Brechin City because he attended Falkirk's Scottish Cup semi-final against Hibernian. I don't think he'll be kept on next term, certainly not in a playing capacity. He was popular with a small group of younger supporters though. They brought a Portugal flag to a couple of the games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEMSFC Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 It looked like Pedro was part of the coaching team for the play offs taking Greacen's place 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower league football in Scotland, eh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francesc Fabregas Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Dean Shaw has signed on again There's our No. 1 for next season sorted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFC1884 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 There's our No. 1 for next season sorted. I'd be disappointed to see Fleming leave but on the flip side I'd have no objections to Dean Shaw getting a chance. Whenever he has had to play he hasn't made a mistake or cost us goals. And given the budget cuts he wouldn't be a bad choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen Dean play in a few reserve games and he handles it with ease 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest honestrae95 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Why did Chris Smith not really feature for you this season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFC1884 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Why did Chris Smith not really feature for you this season? He joined the police near the end of the 2013-14 season and due to that wasn't fully committed. Since his shifts have levelled out just after the new year he has been unable to get a game ahead of Fleming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a helluva wound. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, some auld dear drove into him when he was cycling and gave him a belter of a knee problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFC1884 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Just got a text to say we are almost over the line in securing defender Mark Baxter from Forfar. Would be a tidy signing, especially if we can get Lithgow signed up too! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilly Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 BEAKY!!! An actual decent right back I have set my expectations so low this would be a pleasant surprise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesc Fabregas Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 I'd be happy to get Mark Baxter in, I've always thought he's a solid (if unspectacular) presence at right-back. I also have a feeling we'll sign Stuart Malcolm from Forfar Athletic. Don't ask me why, I just do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen Cowden Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Stenny supposedly talking to Jon Robertson. Not the player he was but still gives 100% every game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
