Nightmare Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Of all these names linked today (Rudden, Graham, Smith, DKD, McKinnon, McCart, Berra), even three of them would be a massive improvement on what we’ve got right now. And unless it’s all media shite, it looks like we’ve got a fair amount of money to spend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Anderson was very useful for us last season, and Berra would (at worst) be a pretty similar player. A defender who will bring organisation and win loads of headers, but can’t run or pass. That works at this level. 2 minutes ago, Reid said: Berra’s is finished and his legs have gone but so had Steven Anderson’s. Despite not being very good, his leadership and organisational skills improved us. Can’t see it happening though. Love Ando but Berra was a better defender when they last shared a division. Hard to judge Berra when hes playing far more than his body could cope with, and asked to play a high line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, as fans of all teams are great at spending other peoples' money or cash that isn't there. And so far the club hasn't confirmed any of the rumours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just rumours, but you're offering to pay a fair whack of Berras contract, you've paid a fee verging on six figures for Rudden, plus a wage that sticks him above most players in the division, you've blown Morton out the water for MacKinnon, and you're expected to try and spend another fee on Jamie McCart if/when he agrees a PCA. Lots of money being spent for this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of money being spent for this level. Blown Morton’s offer for McKinnon out the water? How do you know we simply have not offered him simply £30 a week more than what Morton are offering? berras wages are being paid by hearts we could potentially be just paying £500 a week off that - perhaps hearts don’t want him on loan to a rival in the same division graham - again only a loan so county paying most of his wages rudden does seem impressive but we have got 4 players of the wage bill already this month so could be a combination of a couple of wages finally worth remembering that these are all just rumours and so far have not signed a single additional player in this transfer window 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle_do_nicely Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) We've got rid of a handful of players - Wilson, Palmer, Kakay, De Vita, Ben Hall - and there's the cup game against Celtic edit: which i think is televised too. We also re-offered season tickets for general sale once Caldwell was punted (haven't seen any numbers but having not renewed for the start of this season personally I jumped at it, dunno how many others would be in the same boat but at a guess it'd be a good few grand so tbh nothing spectacular) afaik we don't factor the cups in when setting budgets or at least we didn't, that might have been more a top flight thing though. Press [X] to Doubt that we're magicking money out of Colin Weir's estate to fund this window.

jaggyness Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I'm assuming mckinnon is a short term deal as he is very similar to Docherty. Guess it also means Docherty won't be coming in this window either in that case 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somerset Boab Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Bad one for yous today but apparently full back young Finn Ecrepont is coming to Thistle. He’s only started one game for us but highly rated and Scotland under 17 regular, massive future. Would image he will be loaned back out as he won’t be ready yet. Mind you a would be expecting him to have played a major part next year for us. McCall loves him anyway. There’s a development fee to be sorted anyway but should be done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
