He seemed quite unfit and a bit flaky, having as many bad games as good. He scored a few goals I suppose, but he missed loads, and he wasn't even really getting a game when Denyer was fit. I guess if we can get him up now and get a pre season in him he could be a good player at this level, but it sounds like he's one of these guys that's never going to be fully fit again. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I read somewhere that he has a chronic groin issue that will always need managed to a degree. I agree with the overall analysis of what you are saying. He's a game changer when he's on it but not consistent. If he was consistent, he'd not be here to be fair. I'd have him back for sure, I wouldn't hang my hopes for the season on him though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Going by this Nazon is on his way back to us - although they probably just assume we're his proper club rather than where he was on loan last season. https://sentinel.ht/post/sports/soccer/10913-duckens-nazon-vacations-in-haiti-before-returning-to-scotland 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually in the 'I think he was awrite' camp, but I know lots of people aren't. I'm hoping we can bring in better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munoz Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I've heard the club are looking for at least 500k for Hladky. Slightly on the low side for my liking but could make a difference if its reinvested wisely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houston_bud Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I thought Nazon was alright, he put himself about and caused teams problems. He was unlucky to get a retrospective red card that halted any run in the team he might have got. I don't expect he'll be back althought I would be quite happy if he did reappear. As for McAllister, I'd bite your hand off for him. Yes he drifts in and out of games but he's a real talent who came up with the goods on a few occasions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd rather we kept him on an extended and improved contract. Probably not going to happen though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been inquiries from at least one club closer to home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly on the low side for my liking but could make a difference if its reinvested wisely. Realistically he only has 12 months left on his contract. We may get a much higher figure if a bidding war starts up, but 500k for a player we only signed 6 months ago would be pretty incredible for a club like ours. Even if it would be impossible to replace him with a like for like goalkeeper. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 500k is the right balance between being an amazing fee for a club our size, and also not being so high it prices buyers out the market. I just hope it doesn't drag on all summer as we will need to reinvest any income in the squad. Edit: I wonder if Jordan Holmes would come back up; Clangers spoke very highly of him.

The Marly Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Absolutely no question Hladky is better than Samson . Samson's save from Tony Watt At McDiarmid in the first half of last season should have been voted save of the season though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of Jim Goodwin coaching might be good for him. The fact the article states we have given him 4 days off before travelling back tells me he is getting a contract. I'm happy with that if true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could also let a 20 yard trundler go past him.No coincidence we didn't lose as many goals from corner kicks after January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won’t be a case of teams offering £50-£100k more to be first in the pecking order. They will meet the fee and then they would negotiate with the player (which is where the bidding war might take place).I recall people suggesting the mythical bidding war for Turnbull. It just doesn’t happen! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
