As we've mentioned a couple of times in the thread recently our comms isn't great when it comes to clarity at the moment. We offered him a new deal so we should have been due compensation but neither the Motherwell or Harrogate announcements make any reference to it. I get the impression that this might be one where we've come to some sort of an "arrangement" in lieu of money actually changing hands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they will all be a bit like that. Well the couple of young 'uns leaving. Maybe a wee bit of cash, add ons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 It's been mentioned that it won't be as much as we are used to for the likes of Erwin, Campbell and Hastie because he only joined us late on in his academy career from Hibs. A few quid more than we got for Cadden right enough. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I'm assuming a nominal fee and various add-on/sell-on clauses. Otherwise he's priced out a move which does no-one any favours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 So by my count, based on what has/hasn't been said through the official, we're still waiting on confirmation from: Goss Johnston Casey Mandron We've probably got 4 obvious gaps based on the starting XI through Kettlewell's run of form but there's also a fair pile of players that probably have question marks over them. We've potentially 4 injured - with Ketts having basically said McGinley is ages away from kicking a baw. 3 players from the current squad were out on loan for the 2nd half of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I would find it hard to believe that Mandron would have a better offer on the table than us, so if we have offered him terms, I'm surprised he's not signed by now. Especially because the big fella seems like such a nice guy who wouldn't want to upset anyone by coming back for pre-season more than a week late. The only slight thing that makes me think Goss might stay is the fact that he's been away on international duty, even then I assume he's off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing that squad down on paper gives me the utter fear for next year. Not going to lie. Thats bottom of the table shit from back to front. No pace or guile in the team. 4 or 5 first team quality players needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made us look like dicks in the game they won in April at Fir Park. I mean it slightly drags it off topic here but there's more than a few decent players in that United squad. They were just hampered by the fucking idiots they had in goals and at the back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, that was really what I was getting at with my "Oh..." obviously there's a lot going on at United but it's a bit of an unexpected shout. What's Fletcher's backstory with us btw? He was nearly on our books or suchlike, right? Found it...3mins here: Edited June 23, 2023 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Papers should be banned from using library photos - Casey front and centre had me going for a few seconds until I saw Calum Butcher running about. And all the released players. And Deano with his old hair intact. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezz Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Sorry to bring this up again but there's not much else to talk about right now, so to get the old rumour mill going again, I saw Louis Moult re-posted an insta story from his Mrs last night of them having dinner at Amarone... I imagine there's probably a few Italians called Amarone across the UK so it could easily have been a restaurant down south, but there's three in Scotland in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen... Bring him home etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
