touchedbymadness Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Rumour last season that EWB or IK demanded that Bollan had to play Cadden against his wishes. Now Cadden has gone under EWB and IK's regime. Not getting our tactics at all. Maybe we just wanted the compo and have better to come in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulloch Gorum Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 If we do get Luca back that would be an excellent signing, but I don't think we'll get him. Hard to see it happening.Of all the players that have left, Cadden's the one that it's disappointing to lose. He's going to improve a lot as a player, and would have given us a creative option out wide... but he's not irreplaceable. Livingston certainly aren't assembling a squad you'd say is certain to win the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airdrieman Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Post last night that had someone at the club saying Hugo Faria was leaving that was deleted also mentioned Andy Ryan signing. Hope MacDonald and Stewart sign out of the players we've offered contracts that we haven't heard from yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thediamonddude Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Who was it that posted it? I saw it too, but it was taken down quickly. I can't remember who posted it, but it was a screen shot of a conversation with someone at the club who mentioned Faria leaving and us signing Andy Ryan. Luca would be an immense signing, as would John Rankin and Lappin, but I'd be very surprised if we signed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real AlanG Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Andy Ryan hasn't scored much seeing as he is a supposed to be a striker. Lappin might be a good signing. Seen him play for Sheff United a few years back. Its possible that we may get him as he was released the other day and may just be looking for an easy gig for a year or two. Would probably be the same for Rankin although at 32 and a central mid he might end up at a championship team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond Oracle Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Thought that Liam Brown was immense for Queens Park on Saturday in the play off final. Young boy at 17, wonder if he's signed up with QP for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilly Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 He'll stay there for a few years and get a better move than Airdrie. The boy looks class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pesadilla Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 He'll stay there for a few years and get a better move than Airdrie. The boy looks class. Airdrie boy's are the classiest in Scotland. The lad will fit right in. Who wouldn't want to wear that iconic Diamond? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afc01 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Other rumours is that the club have had talks with Simon Lapping and John Rankin has been offered a two year deal. Both coming home to finish their careers? Don't think we would be able to sign both,think it would be one only. no chance, think both in their early 30s. Way way above our age cap. Plus they would have to take 75% wage cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pesadilla Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 One thing though...I'd be utterly astonished if we didn't offer Cadden a deal. A youngster who broke into the team and looked quite accomplished. Fits exactly into the model where meant to be promoting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both coming home to finish their careers? Don't think we would be able to sign both,think it would be one only. If this is a wind-up, fair enough. But if serious, really? So Alan Lithgow and Sean Crighton don't want to stay for the full-time spin Airdrie are giving a go this season, but just released from the SPL Lappin and Rankin (who got games for St. Johnstone and Dundee United respectively this year) are going to join? Aye, good one. Anyway, carry on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pesadilla Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Even if they didn't want to keep him they would have offered him a deal to ensure compensation. That's sort of my point. They would have realised about the Watt situation then offered him something to ensure compo. However, if Livi are the basket case everyone thinks they are (reportedly could go under for £7200 according to an earlier story) I cant see us getting anything apart from creditor status.
