the_paulo Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Today is the day! I'm not sure if it is, but let's just say it is. If something happens, I'm claiming it. What would we like to see in next? Another CB seems to be most likely with the rumours floating around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) Another dull day at the coal face for Thistle fans. The Twitter feed for the club seems to indicate we have about 13 season ticket holders renewed for next season and is currently selecting teams for an energy check WC competition of some sort... On football front looks like a couple of ex-Jags heading for the Championship. Frans to the Tangerine Nightmare and Gary Miller to Greenock Morton.

Cerberus Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 In my pious opinion the Frans signing for DU is a decent summary of a way they are ran as a club since their relegation. Paying high wages to a few "bigger name" individuals at the expense of other areas of the team and then struggling. We've just had a season of that. Frans might be OK but I'd guess no better or no worse than that. Would bang, but would not sign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite the opposite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him as a decent enough, depenable if unspectacular full back/ centre back but certainly not someone whose presence in a rival's squad would give me cause to think they had the edge over us. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him as a reliable player who did a good job in multiple positions. Put if this way: if we'd kept Gary Miller at the time instead of placing faith in perma-crock Mustapha Dumbuya, which then led to the injury-enforced merry-go-round at RB involving Dumbuya, Elliott, Gordon, Nitriansky and McGinn, we might be in a much better place right now. Obviously it's all hindsight, but I'd guess that not hemorrhaging a shitload of money on our RB position as a consequence of one poor decision would have made a big difference.

Pie Of The Month Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I don't think either argument in the 2 above posts is mutually exclusive. I'd have kept Miller if we had the chance but he's just a functional solid defender who I'd be much more comfortable filling in for someone than being a regular starter in any position. I don't see him starting week in week out for any side challenging at the top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Gary Miller was decent enough. As I remember not a standout at CB but OK at RB. I'd rather have Miller than Paul McGinn but we can do better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cilitbang Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 @Walter it wasn’t a case of me wanting Gary Miller, just think Gary Miller and Chris Millar are great signings for Morton. Whereas DU have just signed a whole load of meh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller replaced SOD and the first few games it became obvious he could barely cross the halfway line almost forcing Archie into signing a more attacking fullback in Dumbaya. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
third lanark Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 A rumour doing the rounds on twitter that Exeter City are interested in signing Miles Storey- I don’t think too many would be gutted to see him leave if there’s substance in the rumour 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managing a goal and an assist in that game against St Johnstone is pretty decent going from his own half. You've got to at least give him that. Of course Miller is a more defensive-minded player than O'Donnell or Dumbuya, or indeed Elliott, but he should have been kept on for his versatility alone imo. I'm partly speaking in frustration at Dumbuya, for all his talent, being yet another drain on our finances; one more on the list of charity case that we've wasted far too much money and time on under Alan Archibald. Gary Miller wouldn't have been anything flashy on the pitch, but it's far less likely he would have been £50k a year sitting on the sidelines either.
