Wellin Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 20 hours ago, CSmith said: Went and checked the squad page on the website for whatever reason, and noticed the exodus of ooc players. O’Donnell and Mugabi not on there now but Slattery is. And with the news story yesterday that Slattery has signed a new deal, it makes sense, but are we also now to take it the other 2 have rejected deals? Also for those of a number polis persuasion, it seems Moses has switched to #21. Why would it mean that the other two have rejected deals? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. Your social media department is about the best around. They know precisely what they are doing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 The “all the goals” from the season is up on YouTube and I watched it while eating my breakfast this morning. Just a few thoughts: They missed the 3 goals at Pittodrie. We had some amount of comebacks. By f**k we are really going to miss Blair Spittal. I missed a lot of games this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 I think there will be a few contracts announced soon. Was the Slattery one official? I only saw the twitter journos posts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't official but the fact he's still on the official squad list while everyone else has been cleared off is either a giveaway or an oversight but lets face it with our comms of late it could easily be either. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does sign I fully expect him to play at least a small part in the league cup; rehab and physio for knee injuries has come on leaps and bounds. If we're re-signing him I'm expecting him to be fit enough to be part of preseason and the subsequent games thereafter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't the chat when he got injured it was a year out, I get that was probably very worst case but I had put it in my head sometime in November at best. You'd think all of that would be reflected in his wage which in theory should be a downgrade but certainly much more than he would have if cut loose with a gammy leg. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was he was out the rest of the season, rather than a full calendar year but I might be mistaken.

Vietnam91 Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Wouldn't it be correct to say when he'd be out only up to his obligation to us? In theory he wouldn't be our player and anything we did say could affect another move (granted he'd have a medical), there must be PFA stuff surrounding that. Ketts talked about freak injuries at the AGM, I thought the time with Slattery was discussed then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 I really rate Slattery but he's going to be hilariously fat when he comes back. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injuries were discussed aye but I don't remember much on Slattery's other than that it was completely innocuous when it happened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - a summer spent watching England games in Wetherspoons, throwing pints of Madri over everyone when they score is going to take its toll. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rest of the season is what was said when he was injured. Tbh. I don't think we should necessarily downgrade someone's wage just because they've had an injury while still contracted to us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we should necessarily downgrade someone's wage just because they've had an injury while still contracted to us. If a football player can't play football till say November of December due to an injury then to give them a years contract to get 6 months out them could very well be justified. What's the alternative for him? I mean in every other aspect of footballers careers their wages are often linked to contribution. Do you think SOD's will have been higher this summer when everyone considers him to be used a lot less than his last negotiation 2 years ago? However, the official website seems to be driving the timeline so lets see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
