Widge Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 This is a bit of a weird transfer window for a lot of teams, feels like the power of selling players to clubs in England is moving back to the Scottish clubs, especially with Brexit and the need for work permits, all of our better players (and those at other clubs) suddenly become a much more attractive option for teams down south. In the long run, I think all teams in Scotland need to be aware of this and having an extra year on a deal will potentially pay dividends even more so than it used to. You look at the likes of Nisbet, Ferguson, McCann, Erathon, Kerr, McCart all being wanted by teams down south, whereas in years gone by you'd maybe have 1 or 2 transfers like that at most. Just seems to me that English clubs have shortened the net and are maybe panicking a little more. Plus not really understanding we wont accept peanuts for our best players when they've gone years of spending millions on foreign talent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saintee Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Just hope these transfers don't rumble on too long. Could end up being a huge factor in what happens in the coming season. Positively or negatively. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TractorBoy Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Poll time, sports fanz. Would you rather A - Keep Rooney until the end of his contract but then lose him. B - Some tinpot outfit offer a measly £250k which we accept and as a result, we bring back Drey Wright. Go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviemay17 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Didn't we offer Drey Wright a contract on vastly reduced terms? No chance as a Rooney replacement, but I would have him back in a heartbeat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was always a big fan of Wright for the way he played and his application, he was good to watch. However I said at the start of the season I wasn’t sad to see him go because of the lack of numbers. Compare that to an aging Craig Conway who came in and provided triple the goals and assists easily he ever made and you can see how a lesser player can be more effective. Even comparing him to Rooney and McNamara’s output last season and between them they totally eclipsed what Wright ever would at wingback. Plus he looks like he’s put on the beef and is that yard slower than he used to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it would depend on his attitude, I don't blame him for moving to Hibs at all if the money was better, plus I don't think from memory that he did a Rowan Vine and said anything bad? Let's face it, we've had so much success over the years with taking players back and getting them going again. If he's wiling to work hard then he's an exciting player to watch, he can cover either wing, CM or either Wing-back slot in an emergency and he should have a point to prove. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
