While we are doubtless being priced out of keeping Durmus, if money wasn't an issue, I'm not sure I'd want to carry on playing LWB if I were him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Halloran is just too thick to regularly play a role that isn't "get ball, face byline, kick ball towards byline, run quick", so he doesn't really fit in a role that requires him to find space between defences/midfields and do something unexpected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he stays with you. He is over rated 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I tell you what, if MoH doesn't sign for us now, then those who come onto this thread claiming to be ITK will look really stupid. Of course, it's not the first time such a rumour has been posted, and it's also not the first time those people have been wrong. Anyway, onto Dunne. We needed left sided defensive cover, we have right sided as both Tait and Fraser can play there, while Flynn has shown he can play that position should push come to shove. However, to me, Finlayson looked like a player that would really benefit with six months of regular play time, ideally somewhere near the top of the Championship. If Goodwin also makes that judgement, then Dunne's addition maybe looks less of a gamble and more by design. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingscot Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Doesn't surprise me teams offering more for Durmas. He created a lot of chances for us and was a good finisher. Just hope Jim can sign some quality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddie06smfc Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Presumably if Durmus stays in Scotland he will be Edinburgh bound. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said we were in for him and had offered him a deal, a good deal at that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durmus would start for every team in Scotland outside the old firm, he’s going to be very hard to replace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Because I've watched O'Halloran playing for the past 2 seasons and hes clearly finished now hes lost half a yard of pace. Chucking a wage at him is poor, replacing a player like Durmus with him is abysmal. At best he should be back up as a RWB or RW. Nothing more.Yet your manager, who seems to have good eye for a player, wants to keep him.I also have to laugh at the "we couldn't offer him that type of money" comments.Your team has just won two cups and has been financially well run for ages. Also, we don't pay wages that we can't afford and, although financially stable, we're hardly in a position to be outcompeting such a successful club as yourselves in terms of wages. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lex Posted June 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2021 Its a no brainer for him if its true. He could barely get into our side last season, will be facing a fairly hefty wage cut with us due to that, and is now in his 30s. Your signing policy this Summer seems a bit weird. Nothing wrong with going for experienced players at this level, but Dunne and MOH are both players who haven't played well at this level for years, are unlikely to give you 10+ good games a season, and aren't exactly in demand. Ones been given a 2yr deal and the other is seemingly getting a chunk of money and probably also a 2yr deal.Well, this is awkward.Big fat two year deal for a player in his 30’s who is unlikely to give you 10+ good games a season. ‘Weird’ indeed. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Just now, Lex said: Well, this is awkward. Confirms he "turned down better offers" from clubs in the division to stay. I still have no idea where he fits into our squad, and still think he needs to improve a lot. Sounds like he's taken a wage cut to get the security of a 2yr deal, which is decent. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Bo Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Wonder if we would be in for Kiltie who’s just left killie, always thought he was a decent player but seemed to be in and out their team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bolton are in for him, Bolton will get him. They'll offer more than most clubs up here will be able to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
