I'm pretty sure the quote was he made less errors than Richard Taylor on the left, which is why Taylor was dropped. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be, I was backing CS up by saying the comment was made. I also think you are right in that it wasn't an unprompted comment on Fraser's play but in response to a question.

medals Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Bedeau contract ends 30th June... which will be around the pre-season return time I suspect unless he gets permission to train with us beforehand. 1st euro leg on the 25th July. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balmer is a centre half, whereas Rooney is filling the departed slot that Strain had.

I'd imagine if he is a pre-contract player he will be announced in the next week or two, like any other targets available on free transfers. I wonder if we will explore the Australian market again after the success of Baccus and Strain (I know he came via Israel). It's also worked very well for the likes of Hearts. Would be great with extra revenue coming in if we could explore opportunities also the likes of North America for example. Plenty of untapped talent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd give us Fraser, Gogic, Bolton, Bedeau and Taylor for three places, which is probably adequate. Rooney could cover there as well if needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Div Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 In terms of players leaving you'd have to think all of these will certainly go; Strain Dunne Flynn Baccus Greive The loan players also need to be counted out at this moment so; Hemming Kwon Brown And then I guess there are question marks about some of the younger players like; Offord Kenny Gaffney Given the seasons they've had away from the club you'd imagine Taylor and Sutherland will be part of the first team squad next season. I'd also be hopeful that Hemming will come back, either on a season long loan again or permanently. Must be a reasonable chance of getting Kwon back too, as there's no chance he'll be getting a game for Celtic IMO. Going to be a fair amount of churn, and it's going to really have to be done in pretty short order if we are going to have a team ready to be competitive from 25th July. Exciting few weeks ahead! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't argue with that at all. There is also the possibility in contract players may be attracting interest elsewhere too. Only a few weeks ago Mandron was linked to a couple of clubs, though I think our other most sellable assets are now entering free agent territory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I'd hope we'd be in the driving seat to bring him back. I'm not suggesting they'd be interested, but someone like Hibs or Aberdeen might be able to pay a higher proportion of his wages but he'd be going into the unknown with a new manager, whereas Rodgers clearly trusts Robinson and we're off the back of two good seasons. Kwon seemed to enjoy his time with us too. I'm not in the know or anything, but if he goes out on loan again I reckon we're the most likely destination. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 3 hours ago, Lex said: Was wondering that myseIf, I think he's had a fine season and was pretty surprised to learn he's become a boo boy target. What's happened over the last few months is Taylor has been dropped, Bolton has taken Marcus' position at right centre back and he's been shifted over to slightly out of position left centre back. Robinson was asked why the right footer had effectively replaced the left footer at left centre back and he said it's because Fraser makes less mistakes in that position, which seems right to me. Taylor's mistake for the first goal on Wednesday seemed to back that up further. He's 29, in his prime and already played 131 games for the club. I see no reason why he can't play 131 more games for us, and I hope he does. I've not seen anyone criticising Fraser or heard anyone singling him out at games to be honest so not sure where you get he is a "boo boy" target. I'm just mindful of what happened when Gallagher. This time last season no one was thinking he would have been shipped out before pre season was over but he was. Not saying that is likely with Fraser but it shows Robinson will act quickly if anyone looks like their level is dropping off so much that it goes beyonda loss of form. Clearly this can be applied to everyone in the squad. My main point is signing Rooney ie a RWB will not mean we won't sign another CB. That might be Balmer or someone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd certainly like to see Kwon back with us, whether that is on loan or maybe it Rodgers is totally revamping the side a permanent move (if we could afford it, of course). My concern would be that Celtic take him back, test him in their pre-season, and only make a decision on whether to loan him out in the final weeks of the window. He's a Celtic player, so they have the right to deal with him in a way that suits them and not us, but I'd not like to be in the position of holding off on getting another midfielder in, in hopes Kwon comes to us late in the window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't the Gallacher thing purely down to the fact he was fucked with injuries? Getting some money for him, and off our wage bill, was a cracking bit of business from Robinson, imo, and made way for Gogic to cement that central defensive berth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
